Intro — C — Dm — Em — Dm — C — G
C Bm Am G F G
I’m sailing away, set an open course for the virgin sea
C Bm Am G F G
I’ve got to be free, free to face the life that’s ahead of me
Am G
On board, I’m the captain, so climb aboard
Am G
We’ll search for tomorrow on every shore
C Bm Am G F G C Dm Em Dm C G
And I’ll try, oh Lord, I’ll try to carry on
C Bm Am G F G
I look to the sea, reflections in the waves spark my memory
C Bm Am G F
Some happy, some sad
G
I think of childhood friends and the dreams we had
Am G
We live happily forever, so the story goes
Am G
But somehow we missed out on that pot of gold
C Bm Am G F G C Dm Em Dm C G
But we’ll try best that we can, to carry on
( Im still not sure about this part.
Looks like variations of C and G. Corrections welcome. )
C G
A gathering of angels appeared above my head
C G
They sang to me this song of hope, and this is what they said
C
They said come sail away, come sail away
G
Come sail away with me .. lad
C
Come sail away, come sail away
Ab
Come sail away with me
(This break uses Ab most of the way i think)
C G
I thought that they were angels, but to my surprise
C G
They climbed aboard their starship and headed for the skies
C
Singing come sail away, come sail away
G
Come away with me
C
Come sail away, come sail away
G Ab
Come sail away with me
