[Eb]
[Gm] [Eb]
I'm sailing away, my own true love.
I'm sailing away in the morning.
[Cm] [Eb] Is there anything I [Ab] [Bbm] can send [Eb] home to you
from [Ab] across that [Bb]
lonesome [Eb] ocean?
No, there's nothing you can send me, my own true love.
There's nothing [G] I'm wishing to be owning.
[Eb]
Just carry yourself [Ab] [Bb] back to me [Eb] unspoiled
[Ab] from across [Bb] that [Eb] lonesome ocean.
But I just thought you might like something fine,
[Cm] [Eb]
be it silver [Gm] or be it golden,
[Eb]
either from the hills [Gm] of [Db]
[Eb] Madrid
[Ab] or from the coast [Bb] of [Eb] Barcelona.
[Cm] [Eb]
How can [Cm] you, how can you ask me that [Eb] again?
You know it [Cm] only brings [F] me sorrow
[Eb] for
[Gm] the same thing that [Eb] I would [Bb] want [Eb] today.
[Ab] I would [Bb] want again [Eb] tomorrow.
I received a letter on a lonesome, lonesome day.
It was from her ship, a sailing.
It said, I don't know when [Ab]
[Bb] I'm coming [Eb] home again.
[Ab] It depends [Bb] on how [Eb] I'm feeling.
[Bb] Oh, [Eb] if you, if you must feel that way,
then I'm [Cm] sure your mind is roaming.
[Eb]
I'm sure your thoughts [Ab] [Bb] are not [Db] with [Eb] me,
but [Ab] with that country [Bb] you're [Eb] a-going.
So take heed, take heed of the westward wind.
Take heed of stormy weather.
Yes, there's something you [Ab]
can send [Eb] home to me.
Spanish
[Ab] boots [Bb] of Spanish [Eb] leather.
