Dm             F
They stood upon the deck

C             Bb
As the ship went out to sea.

                      F
The wind it took the sails

     C               Bb     Dm   
And left the land a memory.


                 F
All upon the shore for

    C           Bb
To wonder why the sailor goes.

               F
All to close their eyes

     C               Bb     Dm
And wonder what the sailor knows.


G       F
That is you to they,

Bb                    G
That is how they think you are.

       F      
Never on the land,

     Bb             G           
But sailing by the north star.

That is you to them,

Bb               G
That is how they think you are.

      F      
Never on the land,

     Bb            G            Dm
But sailing by the north star.
