Intro
- - - - º - Ai -
Sometimes I wish I was a sailor
Way out on the stormy sea

Far away from the city
and all this mise - ry
And I wish that I could tell you
Just how much you mean to me
(º)
No matter where I run to,
I'll never lose your memo - ry
Chorus
Sometimes I close my eyes and drift away
I can't forget the things I didn't say
ºadd4
I chose a life that took me a - way from you
And I will be forever blue
When you wake up in to - morrow
And I'm no longer by your side
Just don't think too much a - bout me
º Ai
And of the many times you've cried
And wherever you may wander
May good fortune be your guide
Go an' find another lover
º Ai
One who'll never leave your side
