Sailboats

C                              G
Sailboats wish that they were stars,
          Am
Floating softly in the sky
 F
Among our dreams that bid goodbye


C                         G
Moving through transparent space,
          Am
Drifting through the stratosphere
  F                   G
And onward 'till they disappear

C                          G
These continents from overhead
           Am
Look like tiny paper shapes
F
Intricately set in place

C                      G
Below the misty mountain clouds
          Am
Theres a lovely silver bay
      F              G         C
Where sunset sailors often hideaway

F      C            G
Scuba diver in the lock,
F         C             G
Speedboat driver on the dock
F          C            G       
Sailplane pilot in the blue take
    Am
 me up there with you

F                  C              
The world looks brighter from this
 Am      G
 high altitude

F        C                  G
I was walking through the trees 
(Sailboats wish they were stars)
F            C                 G
And I was swimming through the sea 
(Cause they don't know who they are)
F       C                  G
I was falling through the air
         Am            F
When it hit me right there...
F           C          Am       G
My eyes are tired; I don't even care

C                         G
An airplane carried me to bed,
         Am
Where i slept above the coast
     F
And dreamt I had become a ghost

C                          G
I sailed above the frozen peaks,
         Am
Deep in cold cathedral caves
  F                  G            
Across the hills and far beyond 
   C
the waves


F         C          G
Take the car on the lawn
F         C         G
Fly the jet to the sun
F                   C
And bring the spacecraft
    G                 Am          
in soon while I play chess with 
   F
the moon
F              C                  
I feel like sleeping through this 
Am        G
cold afternoon

F        C G
Once in 1964 (Sailboats wish they 
were stars)
F           C           G
An actress ran on the shore (Cause 
they don't know who they are)
F                   C        G
And though you'll never return,
            Am
I love you Audrey Hepburn
F           C            Am     
Sometimes I can see your face in
       G
 the crowd

F           C             G
There are sailboats throughout this 
brilliant sky
F           C             G
But you cannot pick them out if you 
can't fly
F              C             G
I'm glad the Earth doesn't care
  Am
If I go up there
F        C           Am         
If you want to just ask me and 
     G            C
I'll take you along..
