This is such a beautiful song and I think it deserves an accurate tab. To get an
idea of what the strumming pattern sounds like, listen to the recording itself.

Intro:
G Cadd9 Em7 Cadd9
I'm holding on to the hope that one day this could be made right
G Cadd9 Em7 Cadd9
I've been shipwrecked, and left for dead, and I have seen the darkest sights
G Cadd9 Em7 Cadd9
Everyone I've loved seems like a stranger in the night
G Cadd9 Em7 Cadd9
But oh my heart still burns, tells me to return, and search the fading light
G Cadd9 Em7 Cadd9
I'm sailing home to you I won't be long
G Cadd9 Em7 Cadd9
By the light of moon I will press on
Em7 Cadd9 G
Until, I find, my love
Instrumental: G Cadd9 Em7 Cadd9
G Cadd9 Em7 Cadd9
Trouble has beset my ways, and wicked winds have blown
G Cadd9 Em7
Sirens call my name, they say they'll ease my pain, then break me on the
Em7
stones
G Cadd9 Em7 Cadd9
But true love is the burden that will carry me back home
G Cadd9 Em7 Cadd9
Carry me with the, memories of the, beauty I have known
G Cadd9 Em7 Cadd9
I'm sailing home to you I won't be long
G Cadd9 Em7 Cadd9
By the light of moon I will press on
Em7 Cadd9 Em7 Cadd9
So tie me to the mast of this old ship and point me home
Em7 G (Em7) Cadd9
Before I lose the one I love, before my chance is gone
Em7 Cadd9 G
I want to hold, her in, my arms
