Standard (EADGBE)

Wouldn't you like to be

 out on the rolling sea

with only the sky above you for a roof

What if you're friends were there

 laughed at your jokes and shared

Sweet soft air with you, wouldn't that be good?

 You know... it would

Wouldn't you like to find

 yourself there sometime

 Ducking when the bow swings your way

whenever we make plans

 you tell me you're a busy man

 That you'd go but you really should stay

 Someday soon you'll say..

Nothin' escapes the rolling sea

 Not the past nor you or me

You keep the world at bay

 Should it all wash away

 You wouldn't feel no pain of losing kind

Gather the boat and wind

 and a few of your closest friends

 Gonna ride and swim while the weather's nice

 Oh it's been such a long time.....

 Oh it's been such a long time....

 Oh it's been such a long time....
