[Intro]
D G A A
D G A A

[Verse 1]
D          A         G
Got out of town on a boat 
goin\' to Southern islands
G         A     D      
Sailing a reach before 
            A
a followin\' sea
A                      
She was makin\' for the 
G             A
trades on the outside
A                G      A
And the downhill run to Papeete

[Verse 2]
A                    F       
Off the wind on this heading 
        A
lie the Marquesas
G      A              
We got eighty feet of 
    F         G             A
the waterline nicely making way
A                 G      
In a noisy bar in Avalon 
           A
I tried to call you
A                         
But on a midnight watch I 
G                          A
realized why twice you ran away

Think about
A           D        
Think about how many 
             A
times I have fallen
A           G        
Spirits are using me 
              A
larger voices callin\'
A                           
What Heaven brought you and 
G            D
me cannot be forgotten
(Around the world) 
D           G          A
I have been around the world
          G           
(Lookin\') Lookin\' for 
           A
that woman girl
(Who knows she knows) 
A   G              A
Who knows love can endure
A                    D G A
And you know it will

[Verse 3]
G        A                D     
When you see the Southern Cross 
        A
for the first time
A                  G   
You understand now why 
              A
you came this way
A                    G     
\'Cause the truth you might 
                   A
be runnin\' from is so small
A                      G        
But it\'s as big as the promise, 
                        A
the promise of a comin\' day

[Verse 4]
D      A           G        
So I\'m sailing for tomorrow 
                D
my dreams are a dyin\'
D      A          G           
And my love is an anchor tied 
                          A
to you tied with a silver chain
A                      
I have my ship and all 
    G            A
her flags are a\' flyin\'
A                      G    
She is all that I have left 
                 A
and music is her name

[Verse 5]
A                 
So we cheated and 
   G           A
we lied and we tested
A                      G     
And we never failed to fail, 
           D                A
it was the easiest thing to do
A        G             A
You will survive being bested
A                  G           
Somebody fine will come along, 
                            A
make me forget about loving you
A                     G D D A
In the Southern Cross
