[A] They [E]
[A]
bought a [E] round for [A] the sailor and they heard [E] his tale of a [A] world that was so far [D] away.
And [E] a song that [A] we never [D] heard, a [Em] song of a [A] little [D]
bird who [E] fell in love with a [A] whale.
[E] He said, you [A] cannot [E] live in [A] the ocean.
And [D] she said [E] to him, you [A] never can live in [D] the sky.
But the [E] ocean [A] is filled with [D] tears and the [E] sea turns [A] into a [D] mirror.
There's [E] a whale in the [A] moon when it's [D] clear and a [E] bird on [A] the tide.
Oh, please [G] don't [D] cry.
Let me [B]
dry your [E]
eyes.
So [A]
tell me [E] that you [A] will wait for me.
Hold me [D]
in [E] your arms.
I [A] promise we never [D] will part.
[E] I'll never [A] sail back to the [D] tide.
But [E] I'll always [A] pretend that you're [D] mine.
Oh, I [E] know [A] that we both must [D] part.
You [E] can live in my [A] heart.
Oh, please [G]
[F#] don't [D] cry.
Let me [B] dry your [E] eyes.
[A] And tell me [E] that [A] you will wait for me.
Hold [D] me in [E] your arms.
I [A] promise we never will [D] part.
I'll [E] never [A] sail back to the [D] tide.
But [E] I'll always [A] pretend that you're [D] mine.
Oh, I [E] know that we [A] both must [D] part.
You can [E]
live in [A] my heart.
