[A] [Bm]
[A]
Across the wide sea I [D] deserted
[A] From the shore I [D] did fly
[A] [E] I thought [Bm] it time that [A] I traveled
So I [D] took to the roads of [A] the [Bm] sky
[A]
It was light and the wind, it [D] did gently blow
[A] Oh the night [D] was our
[A] [Bm] I saw the floor of [A] the ocean
And the [D] universe did lean [A] over
Set to fly on
The [D] sea captain, [A]
he loved [D] the ocean
[A] But his head was [D] on [A] fire
[E] His hands, they did stretch out [A] before him
[D] For to take one of many [A] desires
But [D] there [E] was [A] no time

[A] [Bm]
[E] [A]
Across the wide sea [D] he departed
[A] From the ship he [Bm] did fly
[A] [E] He thought [Bm] it time [E] that [A] he traveled
And I [D] saw him as he [A] passed by
I saw him as he passed by
