[N] This is a song by Stephen and the Curtis brothers, Richard and [G] Michael.
[A] Great song you wrote here.
[G] [D]
[A] [G] [A]
Got out of town [G] on a boat on a [D] southern arrowhead
[A] Sailing in reach [G] for a father with a [A] seed
She was making [G] for the trade [D] on the outside
[E] And the [A] downhill [G] road she didn't quite like her [A] taste
Off the wind [G] on this heavy glass [D] of our case-up
You got eighty [G] feet of a waterline, nicely made, [A] keep away
In a noisy [G] bar in [D] Avalon I tried to call you
[A] Holdin' your knife, [G] watch I realize [D] why twice you [A] ran away
[G] Think [A] about how many [G] times I [A] have fallen
[G] You [D] died, you didn't [G] leave, but your [A] voice is [G] calling
I never [D] brought you any, and I keep a -callin'
I have been around, [A] [D]
looking [G] for that woman [A] girl
[D]
That was loved and [A] you know it will
[G] [D]
[A] [Bm] [A] When you see the [G] southern cross [D] for the first time
You [A] understand [G] now why you came [Bm] this [A] way
The truth you might [G] be running from [D] is so small
[A] But it's as big [G] as the promise, the [Bm] promise of a [A] coming day
So I'm sailing [G] for tomorrow, my [D] dreams are a-dying
And [A] my luck [G] is an angel trying to get a time with the [A] silver chain
I have my ship, [G] and all her flags are a [D]-flying
She might [A] be all that I [G] have left, and music is [A] her name
Think [D] about how many times [G] I have fallen
[D] You died, you didn't leave, but your [A] voice is [G] calling
I [D] never brought you any, [G] and I keep a -callin'
I [D] have been [G] around, [A] looking [D]
for that [A] woman
[D] Who knows about a planet store
And you know it will
[G] [D] And [A] you know [G] it will
[D] [A]
[G] [D]
[A] [G] [A]
[G] [D]
[A] [Bm] [A] So we cheated and [G] we lied, [D] and we tested
[A] And we never [G] failed to think [D] it was the easiest [A] thing to do
You [G] will survive, [Bm] be interested, [D]
[A] somebody fine
[G] Will come along, [D] make me feel above, [A] loving you
In the Southern Call
[G] In [D]
the [A] Southern Call
[G] Thank [D] [N] you
[A] Great song you wrote here.
