                     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      A         
We 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         Bm  A   
But on a midnight watch I realized why twice you ran away


[Chorus]
A          
Think about
G               D          G      A      A7 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     G     A
Around ■ ■ ■ the world ■
            D         G     A
Lookin' Who knows she knows ■
                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           D            Bm     A  
But it's as big as the promise the promise of a comin' day
A7     A           G                      D     
So I'm sailing for tomorrow my dreams are adyin'
       A          G              D  
And my love is an anchor tied to you
A              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
      G    
Think about


[Chorus]
            D              G      A G     
Think about how many times I have ■ fallen
        D            G             A       G
Spirits are using me larger voices callin' ■
                    D          G         A        
What Heaven brought you and me cannot be forgotten
       D    G A      D     G     A
I have been ■ around ■ the world ■
D       G A                      G
Lookin' ■ ■ 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               D                A 
And we never failed to fail 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
                 A    
And the southern cross
