Cb/Db I'm leaving my family Ebm7 leaving all my friends Ab7 my body's at home Abm9/Gb Db7 but my hearts in the wind Gb Cb/Db where the clouds are like headlines Gb Ebm7 on a new frontpage sky Gb Ab7 my tears are salt water Abm9/Gb Db7 Gb that comes to my eyes And I know Martin Eden's gonna be proud of me many before me has been drawn by the sea To be up in the crow's nest singing my say Shiver me Timbers as I'm sailing away Ebm7 Now the fog's lifting D7/Bb and the sand's shifting Gb/Cb Ab9 I'm drifting on out Old captain Ahab Db7sus4 Db7 he ain't got nothing on me repeat chords as above So swallow me , follow me I'm travelling alone Blue waters my daughter I'm gonna skip like a stone so please call my misses tell her not to cry 'cause my goodbye is written by the moon in the sky Nobody knows me I can't fathom my stayin' shiver me timbers as I'm sailing away Now the fogs liftin'...... I'm leaving my family leaving all my friends my body's at home but my hearts with the wind where the clouds are like headlines on a new frontpage sky shiver me timbers as I'm sailing goodbye...........
