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


[Chorus]
A            
■ Think about
G               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    
Around the ■ world
D           G     A     D    
Lookin' Who knows ■ she knows
G   A             A7  
And ■ you know it will

                          G             D         
When you see the Southern Cross for the first time
    A          G                        
You understand now why you came this way
D      A                        G               D       
'cause ■ the truth you might be runnin' from is so small
            A          G           D            Bm7    A  
But it's as big as the promise the promise of a comin' day
A7     A7          G                      D     
So I'm sailing for tomorrow my dreams are adyin'
       A          G      D       A  
And my love is an anchor tied to you
               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                  
What Heaven brought you and me cannot be forgotten
            A7              
I have been around the world
A                           
Lookin' And you know it will
    A               
And you know it will
                              D        
So we cheated and we lied and we tested
             G                         A       D          
And we never failed to fail it was the easiest thing to do
                       G     
You will survive being bested
A             D                         G      A               
Somebody fine ■ will come along make me forget about loving you
                 A    
And the southern cross
