   Verse 1:
  A              D             A
A score of years    this line has run
   E             D          A
Above the crests    that drown the sun
   D        A
A mile high   the turbines turned
            E          D
The stokers sweat, the monkeys burned

   Chorus:
        A          D5          F#m         E
I will carry you home with the gods in my eyes

I will carry you home while the westerlies sigh-high

I will carry you home

   Verse 2:
    A          D        A
The continents    will fly apart
    E            D          A
The oceans scream     and never part
   D           A
Divided souls    can never rest
      E            D         A
Must join the nations break the test

   Verse 3:
    A             D           A
For endless hours    the sirens wail
   E          D                   A
Await the tide   that brings the sail
             D      A
Cling to the walls   and close the shore
           E        D       A
The lovers wait who walk no more

I will carry you home while the westerlies sigh
  A              D5            F#m         E
I will carry you home with the gods in my eyes
         A       D5             F#m         E    A    Asus4
I will carry you home while the westerlies sigh-high
