Well, it's not far down to paradise,
-3"4     4    -4  -3" 4
at least it's not for me
-3" -3 4   -4   -4 -4    4   4   -4   45
And if the wind is right you can sail away 
-4   4   -4 4 5
find tranquility
6   -5  -5 5   -5  5  5 -44
Oh, the canvas can do miracles, 
-4   4   -4   4   5    4 -4    5
just you wait and see, Believe me
6    -5  5   5  -44   -44   4
It's not far to never-never land, 
4  -4 5   -4 4  -4
no reason to pretend
-3" -3 4   -4   -4 -4    4   4   -4   4   5
And if the wind is right you can find the joy 
4  -44 -4    45
of innocence again
6   -5  -5 5   -5  5  5 -44
Oh, the canvas can do miracles, 
-4   4   -4   4   5    4 -4    5
just you wait and see, Believe me
6  6    6     -5 56
Sailing takes me away 
6  6     -5   5 -4   -4    5  -4    4
to where I've always heard it could be
4    4 -4     4   5    4  -4 5  4
Just a dream, the wind to carry me
6    6 6    5  4
soon I will be free
-4 5 5   5  -4   4   -4   5  5
Fantasy, it gets the best of me
5    -4  -4 5
When I'm sailing
5   5      5  -4 4   -44 4
All caught up in the reverie, 
5  5  -5   -4 4 -4 4  4
every word is a symphony
5     -4  4 -4    5
Won't you believe me?
6  6    6     -5 56
Sailing takes me away 
6  6     -5   5 -4   -4    5  -4    4
to where I've always heard it could be

Well it's not far back to sanity, 
-3"4     4    -4  -3" 4
at least it's not for me
-3" -3 4   -4   -4 -4    4   4   -4   45
And if the wind is right you can sail away
-4   4 -44 5
find serenity

Oh, the canvas can do miracles, 
-6   6   6    -5  5    5    -4  4 -4    5
just you wait and see, then you Believe me
