I'm sailing away set an open course for the virgin sea
C G Am F G
I've got to be free free to face the life that's ahead of me
Am G
On board I'm the captain so climb aboard
Am G
We'll search for tomorrow on every shore
C G Am F G C F G F C G
And I'll try oh Lord I'll try to carry on
C G Am F G
I look to the sea reflections in the waves spark my memory
C G Am
Some happy some sad
F G
I think of childhood friends and the dreams we had
Am G
We live happily forever so the story goes
Am G
But somehow we missed out on that pot of gold
C G Am F G C F G F C F G F
But we'll try best that we can to carry on
C F G F
A gathering of angels appeared above my head

Come sail away with me lad
C F
Come sail away come sail away

I thought that they were angels but to my surprise
C F G F
They climbed aboard their starship and headed for the skies
C F
Singing come sail away come sail away
G F
Come away with me
C F
Come sail away come sail away
G F
Come sail away with me rpt to end
