 Intro: C Dm Em Dm C G

 C     Bm     Am   G F                            G
 Iʼm sailing away,    set an open course for the virgin sea
 C     Bm         Am   G F                              G
 Iʼve got to be free,    free to face the life thatʼs ahead of me
Am                          G
 On board, Iʼm the captain, so climb aboard
Am                             G
 Weʼll search for tomorrow on every shore
          C      Bm           Am  G F         G  C Dm  Em  Dm  C  G
 And Iʼll try, oh Lord, Iʼll try    to carry on

 C   Bm         Am  G F                                   G
 I look to the sea,   reflections in the waves spark my memory
  C     Bm         Am  G  F
 Some happy, some sad
                                        G
 I think of childhood friends and the dreams we had
Am                       G
 We live happily forever, so the story goes
Am                        G
 But somehow we missed out on that pot of gold
      C         Bm          Am G F         G  C Dm  Em  Dm  C  G
 But weʼll try best that we can,  to carry on

     C                   G
 A gathering of angels appeared above my head
       C                                 G
 They sang to me this song of hope, and this is what they said
            C
 They said come sail away, come sail away
       G
 Come sail away with me .. lad
  C
 Come sail away, come sail away
                     Ab
 Come sail away with me

      C                            G
 I thought that they were angels, but to my surprise
         C                                G
 They climbed aboard their starship and headed for the skies
          C
 Singing come sail away, come sail away
       G
 Come away with me
  C
 Come sail away, come sail away
       G             Ab
 Come sail away with me
