Introduction:
Em/9 C- C/9 G C G G/F#
Oh I'm sailing away, my own true love
Em D/F# G C G G/F#
I'm sailing away in the morning
Em/9 C- C/9 G C G G/F#
Is there something I can send you from across the sea
Em D/F# G C D/F# G- C/G G- G/F#
From the place where I'll be landing
Em/9 C- C/9 G C G G/F#
There's nothing you can send me, my own true love
Em D/F# G C G G/F#
There's nothing I'm wishing to be owning
Em D/F# G C D/F# G- C/G G- G/F#
Just carry yourself back to me unspoiled
Em D/F# G C D/F# G- C/G G- G/F#
From across that lonesome ocean
Em/9 C- C/9 G C G G/F#
Oh, but I just thought you might want something fine
Em D/F# G C G G/F#
Maybe silver or of golden
Em/9 C- C/9 G C G G/F#
Either from the mountains of Madrid
Em D/F# G C D/F# G- C/G G- G/F#
Or from the coast of Barcelona
Em/9 C- C/9 G C G G/F#
If I had the stars of the darkest night
Em D/F# G C G G/F#
And the diamonds from the deepest ocean
Em/9 C- C/9 G C G G/F#
I'd forsake them all for your sweet kiss
Em D/F# G C D/F# G- C/G G- G/F#
That's all I wish to be owning
Em/9 C- C/9 G C G G/F#
Oh, I might be gone a long ol' time
Em D/F# G C G G/F#
And it's only that I'm asking
Em/9 C- C/9 G C G G/F#
Is there something I can send you to remember me by
Em D/F# G C D/F# G- C/G G- G/F#
To make your time more easy passing
Em/9 C- C/9 G C G G/F#
How can, how can you ask me again
Em D/F# G C G G/F#
Well it only brings me sorrow
Em/9 C- C/9 G C G G/F#
Oh, the same thing I would want today
Em D/F# G C D/F# G- C/G G- G/F#
I would want again tomorrow
Em/9 C- C/9 G C G G/F#
Oh, I got a letter on a lonesome day
Em D/F# G C G G/F#
It was from his ship a-sailing
Em/9 C- C/9 G C G G/F#
Saying, I don't know when I'll be coming back again
Em D/F# G C D/F# G- C/G G- G/F#
It depends on how I'm feeling
Em/9 C- C/9 G C G G/F#
If you, my love, must think thataway
Em D/F# G C G G/F#
I'm sure your mind is a-roaming
Em/9 C- C/9 G C G G/F#
I'm sure your thoughts are not with me
Em D/F# G C D/F# G- C/G G- G/F#
But with the country where you're going
Em/9 C- C/9 G C G G/F#
So take heed, take heed of the western wind
Em D/F# G C G G/F#
Take heed of stormy weather
Em/9 C- C/9 G C G G/F#
And yes, there is something you can send back to me
Em D/F# G C D/F# G- C/G G- G/F#
Spanish boots of Spanish leather (end on last G.)
