-3  -3  -3  4*  -5 -5 -5
Got out of town on a boat 
-4   -4  -4   -4  -4 -3 -3 
Gon’ to south-ern is-lands
 -3  -3  4*  4*  4*  -5 -5 -4  -3   3  -3
Sail-ing a reach be-fore a fol-low-ing sea
-3  -3   4* 4*  -5  -5    -5   -4 -4  -4   -3
She was mak-in' for the trades on the out-side
-3  -3   4*   4*  -5  -5 -4 -3 3 -3
and the down-hill run to Pa-pe-e-te
-3  -3   4*  -5  -5   -5  -5
Off the wind on this head-ing 
-5  -5  -5  -4  -3
lie the Mar-que-sas
-3 -3    4*  4* 4*  4* -5 -5   -4
We got eight-y feet of wa-ter-line
 -3  -3 -5  -5   4*
Nice-ly mak-ing way
-3 -3 4*  4* -5 -5 -5-5 -4
In a nois-y bar in A-va-lon 
-4  -4  -4 -4-3 -3
I tried to call you
-3  -3 -3   4*   4*   4*
But on the mid-night watch 
4*-5 -5  -5  -5   -5   -5   6  6  6
I re-al-ized why twice you ran a-way

 -4  -4  -4  -5  -5 -5  -4  -4  -5  4*-4-3-3
Think a-bout how man-y times I have fall- en
 -4  -4  -5  -5 -5  -4
Spir-its are us-ing me, 
 -4  -5  -5  -5 4*-4-3-3
larg-er voic-es call- in'
 -4   -4  -4    -5   -5  -5  -4
What heav-en brought you and me 
-4  -5  -5 -5 -4-4-3-3
Can-not be for-got- ten
-5 -5   -5 -6* 7-6*6 -5   6  
I have been a-round the world

Key: D

 7    7  -6*  -6*  6  6   6
Look-ing for that wom-an girl
-5    7    -6*  6  6   6
Who knows love can en-dure. 
-3  -3   -3  -3  4*
And you know it will. 

Key: A

 -3  -3   4*  4*   4*   4*  -5
When you see the South-ern Cross 
-4  -4   -4    -3
for the first time
-3  4*  4*   4*   4* -5  -5  -4-3  3   -3
You un-der-stand now why you came this way
  -3   -3    4*   4*  -5   -5 -5  -5    -4
'Cause the truth you might be run-nin' from 
-4 -4  -3
is so small
-3   -3  -3  4* 4*  4*  -5  -5
But it's as big as the prom-ise, 
-3   -5  -5  -5 -5 -5  6   6
the prom-ise of a com-ing day

-3 -3   4*   4* -5  -5 -5  -5
So I'm sail-ing for to-mor-row, 
-5   -5   -5 -5 -4-3-3
my dreams are a dy- in'
-3  -3  4*  4* 4* 4*  4*   -5  -5 -4
And my love is an an-chor tied to you,
 -3   -3 -5 -5  -5    4*
tied with a sil-ver chain
-3 4*  4*  -5  -5  -5  -4   -4   -4 -4 -4-3-3
I have my ship and all her flags are a fly-in'
-3  -3  4*  4*  4* 4*   -5
She is all that I have left 
-5  -5 -5  6   6   6
and mu-sic is her name

-4  -4  -4  -5  -5 -5  -4  -4  -5  4*-4-3-3
Think a-bout how man-y times I have fall- en
 -4  -4  -5  -5 -5  -4
Spir-its are us-ing me, 
 -4  -5  -5  -5 4*-4-3-3
larg-er voic-es call- in'
 -4   -4  -4    -5   -5  -5  -4
What heav-en brought you and me 
-4  -5  -5 -5 -4-4-3-3
Can-not be for-got- ten
-5 -5   -5 -6* 7-6*6 -5   6  
I have been a-round the world

Key: D

 7    7  -6*  -6*  6  6   6
Look-ing for that wom-an girl
-5    7    -6*  6  6   6
Who knows love can en-dure. 
-3  -3   -3  -3  4*
And you know it will. 

Key: A

-3 -3   4*  4*  4* 4*  -5  -4  -4  -4  -3
So we cheat-ed and we lied and we test-ed 
-3  4*  4* 4*   4*   4*  -5
And we nev-er failed to fail, 
-5 -4-3 3  -3 -3 -3   -3   -3 -3
it was the eas-i-est thing to do
 4*  -5  -5   -5  -4 -4   -4  -3
You will sur-vive be-ing best-ed
 -3  -3 -3  4*   4*   -5 -5  -5
Some-bod-y fine will come a-long 
 -5  -5 -3  -5 -5  -5  -5   6   6
make me for-get a-bout lov-ing you
6   6   -5   -4   -3
in the South-ern Cross.
