Orinoco Flow

       G                          
Let me sail, let me sail, let the 
F       C
Orinoco flow,
       G                          
Let me reach, let me beach on the 
F              C
shores of Tripoli,
       G                        
Let me sail, let me sail, let me 
 F               C
crash upon your shore,
       G                      
Let me reach, let me beach far 
   F               C
beyond the Yellow Sea.
