[G] [C]
[Em] I'm sailing [Am] away, [F] set an open course [G] for the virgin sea
[C]
[Em] I've got to [Am] be free, [D] [F] free to face the life [G] that's ahead of me
[Am] On board I'm the captain, [G] so climb aboard, [Am] we'll search for tomorrow
[G] On every shore, [C] I'll try, [Em] oh Lord [Am] I'll try, [F] to
[G] carry [C] on
[Dm] [Em]

[G] [C]
[Em] Look to [Am] the sea, [F] reflections in the waves, [G] spark my memory
[C] Some
[Em] happy, some [Am] sad, [F] I think of childhood friends [G] and the dreams we had
[Am] We lived happily forever, [G] so the story goes
[Am] But somehow we missed out, [G] on the pot of gold
But [C] we'll try [Em] the best that [Am] we can,
[F] to [G]
carry [C] on

[C]
A gathering of angels, appeared above, they sang to me this song of hope
And this is what they said, they said
Come sail away, come sail away, come sail away with me lad
Come sail away, come sail away, come sail away [F] with me
[C] Come sail away, come sail away, come sail [F] away with me

[G] [F] [C] I thought that they were alien [G] shells, but to my [F] surprise,
[C] They're driving the [F] Morgoth [G] starship, heading for [F] the [C] skies!
Come sail away, come sail away, come sail [F] away with me!
[C] Come sail away, come sail away, come sail [F] away with me!
[C] Come sail away, [F] come sail away, [C] [F] [C]
come sail away with me!
Come sail away, come sail away, come sail away, [F]
[C] come sail away!
[F] [C] Come sail away.
