Got out of town on a boat goin' to southern islands
GG Piano Chord 
   FF Piano Chord 
                   CC Piano Chord 

Sailing a reach before a followin' sea
GG Piano Chord 
                        FF Piano Chord 
             CC Piano Chord 

She was makin' for the trades on the outside,
GG Piano Chord 
         FF Piano Chord 
           CC Piano Chord 

And the downhill run to Papeete Bay
GG Piano Chord 
              FF Piano Chord 
               CC Piano Chord 

Off the wind on this heading lie the Marquesas
GG Piano Chord 
               CC Piano Chord 
           CC Piano Chord 
      AmAm Piano Chord 
    GG Piano Chord 

We got eighty feet of the waterline, nicely making way
GG Piano Chord 
           FF Piano Chord 
                CC Piano Chord 

In a noisy bar in Avalon I tried to call you
GG Piano Chord 
               FF Piano Chord 
            CC Piano Chord 
        AmAm Piano Chord 
   GG Piano Chord 

But on a midnight watch I realized why twice you ran away

CHORUS:
FF Piano Chord 
                CC Piano Chord 
         FF Piano Chord 
       GG Piano Chord 

Think about how many times I have fallen
FF Piano Chord 
            CC Piano Chord 
         FF Piano Chord 
             GG Piano Chord 

Spirits are using me, larger voices callin'
FF Piano Chord 
                   CC Piano Chord 
            FF Piano Chord 
          GG Piano Chord 

What heaven brought you and me cannot be forgotten
CC Piano Chord 
  FF Piano Chord 
         GG Piano Chord 

I have been around the world
CC Piano Chord 
               FF Piano Chord 
      GG Piano Chord 

lookin' for that woman, girl
CC Piano Chord 
          FF Piano Chord 
    GG Piano Chord 

Who knows love can endure
GG Piano Chord 
  FF Piano Chord 
  CC Piano Chord 
                  GG Piano Chord 
  FF Piano Chord 
  CC Piano Chord 

And you know it will    And you know it will

When you see the Southern Cross for the first time
You understand now why you came this way
'Cause the truth you might be runnin' from is so small
But it's as big as the promise, the promise of a coming day
So I'm sailing for tomorrow, my dreams are a dyin'
CC Piano Chord 
          AmAm Piano Chord 
     GG Piano Chord 

And my love is an anchor tied to you, tied with a silver chain
I have my ship and all her flags are a flyin'
CC Piano Chord 
     AmAm Piano Chord 
    GG Piano Chord 

She is all that I have left and music is her name ...CHORUS

So we cheated and we lied and we tested
And we never failed to fail, it was the easiest thing to do
You will survive being bested                 C           Am   G
But somebody fine will come along make me forget about loving you
In the Southern Cross
