[A] [G] [D]
[A] [G] [D] [A] Got out of [G] town on a boat [D] on a southern island, [Em] sailing [A] a [G] reef before [D] a following sea.
[A] She was making [G] for the trade [D] on the outside and [A] the [G] downhill run to [Bm] Papua New Guinea.
[A] Off the wind [G] on this heading left the [D] marquess says,
[A] You got eighty [G] feet of a water [D] line, nice to [A] make your way.
In a noisy [G] bar another lord I [D] had to call you,
[A] On the [G] midnight watch I [D] realize, why twice [A] you ran away.
[G]
Think [D] about how many [G] times I [A] have [G] fallen,
[D] Spirits are using [G] me, lost [A] in voices [G] calling,
[D] What heaven brought you [G] and me, cannot [A] be forgotten.
I have [D] been [G]
around [A] the world, [D] [G] looking for that [A] old mine girl,
[D] Snow's [G] laughing [A] at the,
And you know what we [G] hear,
[D] [A] [G]
[D] [A] When you see [G] the southern cross [D] for [G] the first [D] time,
[A] You [G] understand now why [D] you came this [A] way.
The truth you [G] might be running [D] from is so small,
[A] But it's as [G] big as the [D] promise, the promise [A] of a coming day.
So I'm sailing [G] for tomorrow, [D] my dreams won't be dying,
[A] And my love [G] is an anchor [D] tied to you, tied with a [A] silver chain.
I have my ship, [Em] [G] all the flags are a-flying,
[D] She [A] might be called the [G] Navigator, [D] and music [A] is her name.
Oh, [G] think about, think [D] about how [G] many times I [A] have fallen,
[G] [D] Spirits are using [G] me, lost in [A] voices calling,
[G] What [D] heaven brought [G] you and me, cannot [A] be forgotten.
Sing with us!
I [D] have been around [G] [A] the world, [D]
looking [G] for that old [A] mine girl,
[D]
[G] Snow's laughing [A] at the,
And you know what we hear,
[G] [D] And you [A] know [G] what we [D] hear.

[G] [D] [A] So we cheated [G] and we lied, [D] and we tested,
[A] And we never [G] failed to think, [D] it was the [A] easiest thing to do.
You [G] will [D] survive, being bested,
[A] Somebody find, [G] or come along, [D] make me forget [A] about loving you,
In the Southern [G] Cross, [D]
in the [A] Southern [G] Cross.
[D] Thank
[G] you!
