Standard (EADGBE)

I'm sailing away,

 set an open course for the virgin sea

 'Cause I've got to be free,

 free to face the life that's ahead of me

On board I'm the captain, so climb aboard

We'll search for tomorrow, on every shore

 And I'll try, oh Lord, I'll try,

 to carry on

I look to the sea,

 reflections in the waves spark my memory

Some happy, some sad,

 I think of childhood friends, and the dreams we had

We lived happily forever, so the story goes

But somehow we missed out, on the pot of gold

 But we'll try, best that we can,

 to carry on

 A gathering of angels,

 appeared above my head

 They sang to me this song of hope,

 and this is what they said, they said

Come sail away, come sail away,

 come sail away with me, lads

Come sail away, come sail away,

 come sail away with me

Come sail away, come sail away,

 come sail away with me, lads

Come sail away, come sail away,

 come sail away with me

 I thought that they were angels,

 but much to my surprise;

 we climbed aboard their starship,

 and headed for the skies

Come sail away, come sail away,

 come sail away with me, lads

Come sail away, come sail away,

 come sail away with me 5x
