_ I'm so [C#] glad that [G#] people [A#] crossed my [D#m] path and I wrote songs for [D#] them, that if it wasn't
for them I wouldn't [G#] have written it.

_ _ _ _ Not long [A] ago, I _ _ _ _ _ buried a friend of [Bm] ours.
_ _ And when I say a friend of ours, [A] _ those of us who are in the music business, [Bm] our music
industry, _ _
_ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Bm] _ a friend of ours was ill, and [E] he was ill in a very [A] serious way.
And _ _ [Bm] _ we all felt dearly about this [D] man.
_ [A] _ _ _ Another one of our friends in [D] the group, _ _ called Bill [E] Flanagan, _ _ who's one of the co [F#m]-founders
of MTV, [E] he said, [A] why don't you all get together and love him so much?
[D] _
_ Each one of you record one of his [A] songs and sing it to him while [Bm] he's under the weather.
_ _ It'll be better than the postcard.
_ _ _ And we all did, because we all _ love this man.
So [D] we got together, [A] Jimmy Buffett did one, _ _ _ _ _ also _ Elvis Costner did one, and I did one
of his [D] songs, and many others.
_ _ _ He's very dear to me.
[D] _ _ _ _ _ _

_ _ [A] Just down on the harbor, _ _ _ [F#m] all the [F#] ships are _ sleeping.
_ _ [Bm] _ Maybe one cold water can _ wash the [E] lonely _ deep.
_ [A] And way out on the water, _ _ a [F#] ship is on [A] the sea. _ _ _
_ [Bm] _ Leaving wavy _ _ starlight and a [E] dreamer in her [Bm]
dreams.
_ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _
_ And I wait, _ _ _ _ _ [F#m] bye bye, _ _ _ _ [Bm] after rain. _ _ _
_ _ _ [E] _ Godspeed, _ _ oh [A] I wish, _ _ _ _ [F#m] lovely weather, _ _ _ _ [Bm] more luck _ _ [D] _
_ than you need. _ _ _
_ _ _ [A] You _ [C#] always have, it's [F#m] a goal, _ _ [A] _
_ _ _ [D] _ _ so [A] there's no need to [Bm] cry. _ _ _ _
_ No, [A] _ I'll [D] see you _ [A] _ _ again [F#m] one day, _ [Bm] _ and then [E] I'll wait, _ [A] bye bye. _ _

_ _ [A] A sailing ship reminds me _ [F#] of a [A] certain girl, _ _ [B] who [Bm] left a certain _ _ dreamer to sail into the
[E] world.
_ [A] I have many friendly _ postcards [F#] from very far [C#m]
away, _ _ _ [Bm] but they just remind me _ of a certain [E] _ day.
And _ _ _
[E] _ _ I _ [A] wait, _ _ _ _ bye [F#m] bye, _ _ _ _ _ after [B] rain.
_ [Bm] _
_ _ _ _ _ [E] Godspeed, _ _ _ oh I [A] wish, _ _ _ _ [F#m] lovely weather, _ _ _ _ _ more [Bm] luck _ [D] than _ you [E] need. _
You _ _ [A] _ _ _ [F] always have, [A] it's a goal, _ _ _
[Em] _ _ _ [D] _ _ so [A] there's no need to _ [Bm] cry.
_ _ [D] _
_ No, [A] _ I'll see [D]
you _ _ [A] _ again one [Am] _
day, _ [Bm] and then I'll [A]
wait, bye [F] bye.
