Intro:
E minorEm E minorEm E minorEm E minorEm x2


Verse 1:
E minorEm
Every sailor's song is taught when they are young
     B minorBm           A augmentedA
That the full of the moon lingers on
 E minorEm               C majorC        G+G
Something we can't escape from Bimini round the Cape
      D MajorD      D/AD/A      D MajorD
Mixing the wind and the sea and sing along
E minorEm
To whom it may concern, I've always tried to learn
     B minorBm        A augmentedA
That the good days need to last
 E minorEm
Season with a lot of laughter
     C majorC          D MajorD     D/AD/A        D MajorD
Here and then ever after with poetry and painters from our past

Chorus:
   A augmentedA     B minorBm    G+G        D MajorD
So I follow the tides on currents falling wild
 B minorBm        G+G       A augmentedA
Chalking up the stories and the miles
          B minorBm   G+G    D MajorD
Yes, I follow the tides, big blue eyes
        B minorBm       G+G       D MajorD
And that's the reason I will never lose my smile


Verse 2:
E minorEm
Hoping to catch a wave, looking to misbehave
   B minorBm                A augmentedA
As my lucky star still shine above the sea
 E minorEm                   C majorC
Watching the ships roll in, I play that Otis song again
     D MajorD        D/AD/A       D MajorD
For the tourists and some mermaids by the sea


Chorus:
    A augmentedA     B minorBm       G+G         D MajorD
And I follow the tides, down my song lines far and wide
 B minorBm         G+G        A augmentedA
World to me should still be free and wild
          B minorBm       G+G      D MajorD
Yes, I follow the tides, give me more big blue eyes
        B minorBm       G+G       D MajorD
And that's the reason I will never lose my smile

Verse 3:
E minorEm
Every sailor's song is taught when they are young
     B minorBm           A augmentedA
That the full of the moon lingers on
 E minorEm                  C majorC       G+G
Something we can't escape, is it salt water or just fate?
      D MajorD      D/AD/A      D MajorD
Mixing the wind and the sea and sing along


Chorus:
      A augmentedA     B minorBm       G+G         D MajorD
And we'll follow the tides, down a song line far and wide
  B minorBm       G+G           A augmentedA
It seems to me my life's still free and wild
            B minorBm       G+G      D MajorD
Yes, we'll follow the tides, give us more big blue eyes
        B minorBm       G+G       D MajorD
And that's the reason I will never lose my smile


Outro:
        B minorBm         G+G        D MajorD
And that's the reason you should never lose your smile
