Capo 2
G Em C G
North by north— lest we have to settle down
G Em C G
we can sail without the wind in this town
G Em C G
Things that London never saw
G Em C G
Northern winters start to thaw;
Em C
To islands on the sea,
G C
lands I’ve never seen,
G Em C G
things will get calmer—follow me.
Am G6 C
You said a long long time ago
G Am
you were happy being someone
Am G6 C
Let's go far far far from home
G
I'll be glad to be with someone
Am, Em, G (x2)
G Em C G
Land pneumonia, your engines in repair;
G Em C G
plant begonias, and orchids in your hair.
G Em C G
Continents all made of clay
G Em C
Dreamers leaving every day
Em C
To islands on the sea,
G C
lands I’ve never seen,
G Em C G
things will get calmer—follow me.
G Em C G
Someone told me you had oceans in your eyes
G Em C G
Cold as shadows over European skies
G Em C G
Coasting out the shallow day
G Em C G
Leaving London in decay
Em C
To islands on the sea,
G C
lands I’ve never seen,
G Em C G
things will get calmer—follow me.
