[Verse 1]
A D E A
Sunset and evening star,
A E A
And one clear call for me!
A D E A
And may there be no moaning of the bar,
F#m E A
When I put out to sea.
[Chorus]
A D A F#m E A
When I put out to sea, When I put out to sea,
A D E F#m
And may there be no moaning of the bar,
D E A
When I put out to sea.
[Verse 2]
A D E A
But such a tide as moving seems asleep,
A E A
Too full for sound and foam,
A D E A
When that which drew from out the boundless deep
F#m E A
Turns again home.
[Chorus]
A D A F#m E A
Turns again home, turns again home
A D E F#m
When that which drew from out the boundless deep
D E A
Turns again home.
[Verse 3]
A D E A
Twilight and evening bell,
A E A
And after that the dark!
A D E A
And may there be no sadness of farewell,
F#m E A
When I embark.
[Chorus]
A D A F#m E A
When I embark, when I embark.
A D E F#m
And may there be no sadness of farewell,
D E A
When I embark.
[Verse 4]
A D E A
For tho’ from out our bourne of Time and Place
A E A
The flood may bear me far,
A D E A
I hope to see my Pilot face to face
F#m E A
When I have crossed the bar.
[Chorus]
A D A F#m E A
When I have crossed the bar, when I have crossed the bar.
A D E F#m
I hope to see my Pilot face to face,
D E A
When I have crossed the bar.
