[Verse]
D A7 D
They bought a round for the sailor
G A7
and they heard his tale
Dsus4 Em G
of a world that was so far away
A D G
and a song that we'd never heard
A D G
a song of a little bird
A7 D
that fell in love with a whale
[Verse]
D A7 D
He said, 'You cannot live in the ocean
G A7
and she said to him
Dsus4 Dsus2 C#dim Em G
you never can live in the sky
A D G
but the ocean is filled with tears
A7 D G
and the sea turns into a mirror
A7 D G
there's a whale in the moon when it's clear
A7 D
and a bird on the tide
[Chorus]
D D7 G
Please don't cry
E E7 A7
let me dry your eyes
[Verse]
D A7 D
so tell me that you will wait for me
G A7
hold me in your arms
Dsus4 Dsus2 C#dim Em G
I promise we never will part
A7 D G
I'll never sail back to the time
A D G
but I'll always pretend you're mine
A7 D G
though I know that we both must part
A7 D
you can live in my heart
[Solo]

but I'll always pretend that you're mine
A7 D G
I know that we both must part
A7 D
you can live in my heart
