SIm RE LA FA#m LA/SOL# MI
SIm RE LA
SIm
The southwestern wind
RE
It soon will blow again
LA SIm
Blowing steady at its pace
(B) (C#) RE
And I'm travelling at the measure
FA#m LA/SOL# LA LA/SOL#
Of a lonely man's leisure
FA#m MI LA
Sailing across the ocean grace
SIm
And this heavy heavy burden
RE
On the last of my two dollars
LA SIm
Hidden in the neck of my guitar case
(B) (C#) RE
And I'm trying to make a pastime
FA#m LA/SOL# LA LA/SOL#
Out of living off the last dime
FA#m MI LA
Sailing across the ocean grace
RE
And you can count the goodbyes
LA
With the tears in my eyes
RE MI
Rolling down this weathered face
FA#m MI
With the pockets of a poor man
SIm
And the love of a woman
LA LA/SOL# LA
I'm sailing across the ocean grace
SIm
And there's a cradle in the valley
RE
Of the Appalachian mountains
LA SIm
Where the wood is split to crack in the fireplace
(B) (C#) RE
And the winter is a shepherd
FA#m LA/SOL# LA LA/SOL#
And she calls me with a soft word
FA#m MI LA
Sailing across the ocean grace
SIm
And the candle in the window
RE
It flickers a reminder
LA SIm
The morning sun will show its face
(B) (C#) RE
And the folly of a traveler
FA#m LA/SOL# LA LA/SOL#
As in passing what he's after
FA#m MI LA
Sailing across the ocean grace
RE
And you can count the goodbyes
LA
With the tears in my eyes
RE MI
Rolling down this weathered face
FA#m MI
With the pockets of a poor man
SIm
And the love of a woman
LA LA/SOL# LA
I'm sailing across the ocean grace
[Solo]
SIm RE LA SIm
(B) (C#) RE
FA#m LA/SOL# LA LA/SOL#
FA#m MI LA
RE
And you can count the goodbyes
LA
With the tears in my eyes
RE MI
Rolling down this weathered face
FA#m MI
With the pockets of a poor man
SIm
And the love of a woman
LA LA/SOL# LA
I'm sailing across the ocean grace
SIm
And the news is in the paper
RE
And it reads across the pages
LA SIm
A sailor lost at sea without a trace
(B) (C#) RE
And I'm itching away the high hand
FA#m LA/SOL# LA LA/SOL#
As I'm stepping off the dry land
FA#m MI LA
Sailing across the ocean grace
RE
And you can count the goodbyes
LA
With the tears in my eyes
RE MI
Rolling down this weathered face
FA#m MI
With the pockets of a poor man
SIm
And the love of a woman
LA LA/SOL# LA
I'm sailing across the ocean grace
