a followin\' sea

trades on the outside

And the downhill run to Papeete

A F
Off the wind on this heading
A
lie the Marquesas
G A
We got eighty feet of

the waterline nicely making way

But on a midnight watch I

Think about

G A D
When you see the Southern Cross
A
for the first time
A G
You understand now why

you came this way
A G
\'Cause the truth you might

be runnin\' from is so small

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

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

Somebody fine will come along,
A
make me forget about loving you
