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
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.
