Intro:
G C/G (repeat)

Verse:
G Bm7/G D/F# D6 G C/G G
Oh I'm sailin' away my own true love
Em D6 D6/C G C/G G
I'm sailin' away in the morning
Em D6 D6/C G C/G G
Is there something I can send you from across the sea
Bm7 D/F# D6 G C/G G
From the place that I'll be landing?

Verse:
No, there's nothin' you can send me, my own true love
There's nothin' I wish to be ownin'
Just carry yourself back to me unspoiled
From across that lonesome ocean.

Verse:
Oh, but I just thought you might want something fine
Made of silver or of golden
Either from the mountains of Madrid
Or from the coast of Barcelona ?

Verse:
Oh, but if I had the stars from the darkest night
And the diamonds from the deepest ocean
I'd forsake them all for your sweet kiss
For that's all I'm wishin' to be ownin'.

Break:
Em C9 G C/G G

Verse:
That I might be gone a long time
And it's only that I'm askin'
Is there something I can send you to remember me by
To make your time more easy passin'?

Verse:
Oh, how can, how can you ask me again
It only brings me sorrow
But the same thing I would want from you today
I would want again tomorrow.

Break II:
Em C* G C/G G x2

Verse:
When I got a letter on a lonesome day
It was from her ship a-sailin'
Saying I don't know when I'll be comin' back again
It depends on how I'm a-feelin'.

Verse:
Well, if you, my love, must think that-a-way
I'm sure your mind is roamin'
I'm sure your heart is not with me
But with the country to where you're goin'.

Verse:
So take heed, take heed of the western wind
Take heed of the stormy weather
And yes, there's something you can send back to me
Spanish boots of Spanish leather.
