CAPO: 5th Fret

     C                               F               C
Lady love, go back to sleep, dry the tears from your eyes,
      Am               Em             Dm7      G
But I cannot stay with thee until the morning,
        Fmaj7                    Am      G6          Em             F
For the dawn is breaking, and my ship is waiting for me, and I must go,
            C            F                 G
But I'll be back, yes, before this year is over


       C                               F          C
And we sailed across the sea, ‘till we found America,
           Am                Em                Dm7    G   
'Round the Cape of Storms we set our sails for home,
             Fmaj7                   Am      G6        Em               F
And when the sea was roaring, and the Lord I called to help my drowning men, 
          C               F              G
I saw the light, yes, the candle in your window


    C      Em          F           C      Em          F
And I have brought you silver, and I have brought you gold,
    C      G        F             C/G - G
And spices from the Indies in the hold
           C       Em     F              C          Em    F
I've seen ships on the horizon, that I'd swear were going down,
    C     G         F                    C/G - G
But now I know for certain, the world is round, 
       F        G         C
I have seen, my eyes have seen.


G F     C   G F   Dm7   G   Dm7   G


         C     Em       F       C        Em        F
"Oh, one day", says Galileo, "A man will reach the sky,"
     C       G         F               C/G - G
"And see the world completely, from outside"
    C      Em        F            C        Em       F 
And gazing down from yonder, on a world of blue and green,
      C        G       F               C/G - G
He'll say with eyes of wonder, "I have seen, 
       F        G         C
I have seen, my eyes have seen".
