SOL FA DO
Got out of town on a boat goin' to southern islands
SOL FA DO
Sailing a reach before a followin' sea
SOL FA DO
She was makin' for the trades on the outside,
SOL FA DO
And the downhill run to Papeete Bay
SOL FA DO
Off the wind on this heading lie the Marquesas
SOL DO DO LAm SOL
We got eighty feet of the waterline, nicely making way
SOL FA DO
In a noisy bar in Avalon I tried to call you
SOL FA DO LAm SOL
But on a midnight watch I realized why twice you ran away
CHORUS
FA DO FA SOL
Think about how many times I have fallen
FA DO FA SOL
Spirits are using me, larger voices callin'
FA DO FA SOL
What heaven brought you and me cannot be forgotten
DO FA SOL
I have been around the world
DO FA SOL
lookin' for that woman, girl
DO FA SOL
Who knows love can endure
SOL FA DO SOL FA DO
And you know it will And you know it will
When you see the Southern Cross for the first time
You understand now why you came this way
'Cause the truth you might be runnin' from is so small
But it's as big as the promise, the promise of a coming day
So I'm sailing for tomorrow, my dreams are a dyin'
DO LAm SOL
And my love is an anchor tied to you, tied with a silver chain
I have my ship and all her flags are a flyin'
DO LAm SOL
She is all that I have left and music is her name ...CHORUS
So we cheated and we lied and we tested
And we never failed to fail, it was the easiest thing to do
You will survive being bested C Am G
But somebody fine will come along make me forget about loving you
In the Southern Cross
