Key: A

Introduction:

G                                                                                      D  
     Sailboats wish that they were stars,
                          Am  
Floating softly in the sky,
C  
Among our dreams that bid goodbye,
G                                                                    D  
  Moving thru transparent space,
                          Am  
Drifting thru the stratosphere,
          C  
And onwards 'til they disappear,
G                                                                      D  
  These continents from overhead,
                             Am  
Look like tiny paper shapes,
C  
Intricately set in place,
G                                                                      D  
  Below the misty mountain clouds,
                             Am  
There’s a lovely silver bay,
                  C                                                                    G  
Where sunset sailors often hide away,
Am                                                    D  
     Scuba-diver in the loch,
Am                                                                    D  
     Speed-boat driver on the dock,
Am                                                                 D                                                                    Am  
        Sailboat pilot in the blue, take me up there with you,
                                                                                                C                    D  
The world looks brighter from this high altitude,
Am                                                                 D  
     I was walking thru the trees,
Am                                                                            D  
     And I was swimming thru the seas,
Am                                                              D  
     I was falling thru the air,
                                                          Am  
When it hit me right there,
                                                                  C                         D  
My eyes are tired and I don’t even care,
 G  D  Am  C)  
G                                                                      D  
  An airplane carried me to bed,
                        Am  
Where I slept above the coast,
                C  
And dreamt I had become a ghost,
G                                                                      D  
  I sailed above the frozen peaks,
                        Am  
Deep in cold cathedral caves,
        C                                                                                      G  
Across the caves and far beyond the waves,
Am                                                    D  
     Take the car on the run,
Am                                                              D  
     And fly the jet to the sun,
Am                                                                            D  
     And bring the spacecraft in soon,
                                                                             Am  
While I play chess with the moon,
                                                                                     C                    D  
I feel like sleeping thru this cold afternoon,
Am                            D  Am                                                                 D  
     Once in 1964,      an actress ran on the shore,
Am                                                                      D  
     And though you’ll never return,
                                                          Am  
I love you Audrey Hepburn,
                                                                     C                              D  
Sometimes I can see your face in the crowd,
Am                                                                      D  
     There are sailboats throughout this brilliant sky,
Am                                                                    D  
     But you cannot pick them out if you can’t fly,
Am                                                                         D                                      Am  
     I’m glad the Earth doesn’t care if I go up there,
                                                             C                      D                                      G  
     If you want to just ask me and I’ll take you along.
