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