                     G                      D      
Got out of town on a boat goin' to Southern islands
          A     G                  D   A
Sailing a reach before a followin' sea ■
                       G             D      
She was makin' for the trades on the outside
        A            G  D       A
And the downhill run to Papeete ■
                     G               D        
Off the wind on this heading lie the Marquesas
          A                  G         D      G      A  
We've got eighty feet of the waterline nicely making way
               G                    D       
In a noisy bar in Avalon I tried to call you
           A                G            D         Bm7 Bm  
But on the midnight watch I realized why twice you ran away


[Chorus]
Bm         
Think about
G           D              G      A      G
Think about how many times I have fallen ■
        D            G             A      
Spirits are using me larger voices callin'
G                   D          G         A        
What Heaven brought you and me cannot be forgotten
            D      G   A    
I have been around the world
D                G     A   
Lookin' for that woman girl
D              G   A     
Who knows love can endure
                A7  
And you know it will

                          G             D         
When you see the Southern Cross for the first time
A                  G                 D   A
You understand now why you came this way ■
                              G               D       
'cause the truth you might be runnin' from is so small
            A          G      
But it's as big as the promise
    D            Bm     A  
The promise of a comin' day
A7     A           G                      D     
So I'm sailing for tomorrow my dreams are adyin'
       A          G                 
And my love is an anchor tied to you
D                  A    
Tied with a silver chain
               G                     D      
I have my ship and all her flags are aflyin'
       A               G        D            A   
She is all that I have left and music is her name
      A    
Think about


[Chorus]
G           D              G      A G     
Think about how many times I have ■ fallen
        D            G             A      
Spirits are using me larger voices callin'
G           D                  G         A        
What Heaven brought you and me cannot be forgotten
                   D   G A     D
I have been around the ■ world ■
                 G     A   
Lookin' for that woman girl
D                G   A     
■ Who knows love can endure
                A7   G
And you know it will ■
D         A       G   
■ And you know it will

[Verse]
                     G        D        
So we cheated and we lied and we tested
       A               G   
And we never failed to fail
           D                A 
It was the easiest thing to do
         G             D     
You will survive being bested
         A         G                  D                   A  
Somebody fine will come along make me forget about loving you
                A7   
In the Southern Cross
