Capo 5th fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Sailboats wish that they were stars,

 Floating softly in the sky

 Among our dreams that bid goodbye

Moving through transparent space,

 Drifting through the stratosphere

 And onward 'till they disappear

These continents from overhead

 Look like tiny paper shapes

Intricately set in place

Below the misty mountain clouds

 Theres a lovely silver bay

 Where sunset sailors often hideaway

Scuba diver in the lock,

Speedboat driver on the dock

Sailplane pilot in the blue take me up there with you

The world looks brighter from this high altitude

I was walking through the trees (Sailboats wish they were stars)

And I was swimming through the sea (Cause they don't know who they are)

I was falling through the air

 When it hit me right there...

My eyes are tired; I don't even care

Interlude

An airplane carried me to bed,

 Where i slept above the coast

 And dreamt I had become a ghost

I sailed above the frozen peaks,

 Deep in cold cathedral caves

 Across the hills and far beyond the waves

Take the car on the lawn

Fly the jet to the sun

And bring the spacecraft

 in soon while I play chess with the moon

I feel like sleeping through this cold afternoon

Once in 1964 (Sailboats wish they were stars)

An actress ran on the shore (Cause they don't know who they are)

And though you'll never return,

 I love you Audrey Hepburn

Sometimes I can see your face in the crowd

There are sailboats throughout this brilliant sky

But you cannot pick them out if you can't fly

I'm glad the Earth doesn't care

 If I go up there

If you want to just ask me and I'll take you along..
