Got out of town on a boat 
-6   -6  -6   -6  -6  6 6
Gon’ to south-ern is-lands
 6    6 -7  -7   -7  7   7 -6   6  -5   6
Sail-ing a reach be-fore a fol-low-ing sea
 6   6  -7  -7   7   7    7    -6 -6  -6   6
She was mak-in' for the trades on the out-side
 6   6   -7   -7   7  7  -6 6 -5 6
and the down-hill run to Pa-pe-e-te
 6   6   -7  7   7    7    7
Off the wind on this head-ing 
 7   7   7  -6   6
lie the Mar-que-sas
6   6    -7 -7  -7  -7 7   7   -6
We got eight-y feet of wa-ter-line
 6   6   7   7  -7
Nice-ly mak-ing way
6  6  -7 -7  7  7  7 7  -6
In a nois-y bar in A-va-lon 
-6  -6  -6 -6 6  6
I tried to call you
 6  6   6  -7   -7    -7
But on the mid-night watch 
-7 7 7   7    7    7    7  -8 -8 -8
I re-al-ized why twice you ran a-way

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

Key: D

I have been a-round the world

Key: D
 -9  -9   8   8   -8  -8  -8
Look-ing for that wom-an girl
 7   -9    8   -8  -8  -8
Who knows love can en-dure. 
 6   6   6   6   -7
And you know it will. 

Key: A

 6    6  -7  -7   -7   -7    7
When you see the South-ern Cross 
-6  -6   -6    6
for the first time
 6  -7  -7   -7  -7   7   7  -6 6  -5   6
You un-der-stand now why you came this way
   6    6   -7   -7    7   7   7   7    -6
'Cause the truth you might be run-nin' from 
-6 -6   6
is so small
 6   6   6  -7  -7 -7   7    7
But it's as big as the prom-ise, 
 6   7    7   7 7  7  -8  -8
the prom-ise of a com-ing day

6   6   -7  -7   7  7   7   7
So I'm sail-ing for to-mor-row, 
7    7     7  7 -6 6 6
my dreams are a dy- in'
 6  6   -7  -7 -7 -7  -7   7   7  -6
And my love is an an-chor tied to you,
 6    6   7  7   7   -7
tied with a sil-ver chain
6  -7  -7  7    7   7  -6   -6   -6 -6 -6 6 6
I have my ship and all her flags are a fly-in'
 6  6  -7   -7 -7  -7   7
She is all that I have left 
 7  7   7  -8 -8  -8
and mu-sic is her name

 -6  -6  -6   7   7  7  -6  -6  7   -7-6 6 6
Think a-bout how man-y times I have fall- en
 -6  -6   7  7   7  -6
Spir-its are us-ing me, 
 -6  7   7   7  -7-6 6 6
larg-er voic-es call- in'
 -6   -6  -6    7     7   7  -6
What heav-en brought you and me 
-6   7  7   7 -6-6 6 6
Can-not be for-got- ten
7  7    7   8 -98-8  7   -8
I have been a-round the world

Look-ing for that wom-an girl
 7   -9    8   -8  -8  -8
Who knows love can en-dure. 
 6   6   6   6   -7
And you know it will.

6  6   -7   -7 -7  -7  7   -6  -6  -6  6
So we cheat-ed and we lied and we test-ed 
 6  -7 -7  -7   -7   -7  7
And we nev-er failed to fail, 
7  -6 6 -5  6  6  6    6   6  6
it was the eas-i-est thing to do
-7   7    7   7   -6 -6   -6  6
You will sur-vive be-ing best-ed
 6    6  6  -7   -7   7   7  7
Some-bod-y fine will come a-long 
 7   7   6   7  7  7    7  -8  -8
make me for-get a-bout lov-ing you
-8 -8    7   -6    6
in the South-ern Cross.
