[VERSE]
A
I sail the ocean waters
   A
My woman walks on sand
    D               A
Her hopes turn into empty dreams
    F#m           E
She tries to understand

     A
I've faced the winds and the summer storms
    A
And left them all behind
D                A
Windship take me to her
    E                       A
And I'll leave the sea this time

A    A    A    A    D    A    F#m  E    A    A    A    A    D    A    E    A    A

[CHORUS]
    D
Oh, Windship dip beneath the waves
                   A
And part the ocean wide
A
Bend the mast and fill the sails
                       E
And catch the wind and fly

   A
My woman's love waits far away
    A
The east wind stirs the sea
D       C#m        Bm
Set the course and head for home
    E                 A
Oh, windship sail for me

[VERSE]
     A
I've seen the days of the ocean spray
    A
And felt the waves' caress
    D               A
The sea has been my mistress
    F#m              E
But today I love her less

    A
Her face came to my sleepless mind
    A
And lingered there for days
D                A
Windship take me to my love
            E             A
'Cause I've been too long away

A    A    A    A    D    A    F#m  E    A    A    A    A    D    A    E    A    A
