Am D Dsus Am D Dsus
Like a dream on the ocean, always drifting away
Am D Dsus Am D Dsus
And I can’t catch up, she just skips away, on the tide
Am D Dsus Am D Dsus
Sometimes a great notion can lead you astray
Am D Dsus F Am
So weak to devotion, so strong to desire
CHORUS:
F C Csus
Baby, baby, baby won’t you let me ride
F C Csus
Take me off on your sailboat ride
F C
Come on now, angels are on your side
Am D Dsus
But she slips away, oh and never stays
Am D Dsus Am D Dsus Am D Dsus Am Am INTRO RIFF
Like mercury gliding, a silver teardrop that falls
And I can’t hold on, through my fingers she’s gone
At the foot of the mountain, such a long way to climb
How will I ever get up there, though I know I must try
CHORUS
Like a dream on the ocean, always drifting away
And I can’t catch up, she just skips away, on the tide
Oh slips away, on the tide, oh slips away, on the tide
Am INTRO RIFF Am
