                             G                      F                                                      C  
Got out of town on a boat gon' to southern islands.
                          G            F                                              C  
Sailing a reach before a following sea.
                     G                                    F                                 C  
She was making for the trades on the outside,
                     G                    F                            C  
And the downhill run to Papeete.
                     G                              F                                      C  
Off the wind on this heading lie the Marquesas.
                  G                                    F                      C              Am            G  
We got eighty feet of waterline nicely making way.
             G                              F                                              C  
In a noisy bar in Avalon, I tried to call you,
                        G                                         F                              C                      Am      G  
But on a midnight watch I realized why twice you ran away. (think about)
F                                      C                         F              G  
Think about how many times I have fallen.
F                            C                      F                                 G  
Spirits are using me  larger voices callin'.
F                                                 C                         F                              G  
What heaven brought you and me cannot be forgotten.
                                C      F              G              C                                         F            G  
I have been around the world, lookin' for that woman-girl
          C                         F              G  
Who knows love can endure.
                                          G     F     C  
And you know it will.
                                          G     F     C    G  
And you know it will
                        G                                         F                                 C  
When you see the Southern Cross for the first time,
          G                                    F                                            C  
You understand now why you came this way.
                             G                                              F                                      C  
'Cause the truth you might be runnin' from is so small,
                                G                         F                              C                              Am            G  
But it's as big as the promise, the promise of a comin' day.
                  G                            F                                                                 C  
So I'm sailing for tomorrow. My dreams are a-dying.
                  G                         F                                                 C                            Am            G  
And my love is an anchor tied to you, tied with a silver chain.
                                                     F                                                 C  
I have my ship, and all her flags are a-flying.
                  G                                      F                      C            Am            G  
She is all that I have left, and music is her name. (think about)
F                                      C                         F              G  
Think about how many times I have fallen.
F                            C                      F                                 G  
Spirits are using me  larger voices callin'.
F                                                 C                         F                                 G  
What heaven brought you and me cannot be forgotten.
                                C      F              G              C                                         F            G  
I have been around the world, lookin' for that woman-girl
          C                         F              G  
Who knows love can endure.
                                          G     F     C  
And you know it will.
                                          G     F     C    G  
And you know it will
                G                                    F                            C  
So we cheated and we lied and we tested.
                  G                                      F                                         C                 Am                 G  
And we never failed to fail  it was the easiest thing to do.
G                            F                         C  
You will survive being bested.
G                                              F                                              C                              Am            G  
Somebody fine will come along make me forget about loving you
                                             G     F     C      G     F     C    G  
In the Southern Cross.
