VERSE:
F#         E
  I stood high

D#m                   B
   On a cliff crows flight

F#                       E
  And I watched your ship

D#m                  B
  And she looked so fine


F#                      E
  With her white sails flying

D#m                B
  On a clear blue day

F#                  E
  As she`s gliding silent

D#m               B  F#  G#m
  Out of Watsons Bay



PRE-CHORUS:
G#m               C#
And she looks so fine

G#m                           C#
With her white sails flying high

                       B   B B B F#
I got a free and easy mind



CHORUS:
F#        C#             B
I`ll sail on across the sea

F#      C#           B
You can be what you believe

F#        C#        B
Away from all this bitterness

F#       C#             B   B
Insanity   and lifelessness

C# B                              F#  E  D#m  B
    And keep your blue eyes open wide



VERSE:
F#             E
  The ocean`s deep

D#m                B
  And the ocean`s wide

F#                    E
  And my arms can`t reach

D#m             B
  To the other side


F#                       E
  Know I can`t hold it in

D#m                   B
  And I can`t let it out

F#                           E
  But I just can`t understand

D#m                B  F#  G#m
  What it`s all about



PRE-CHORUS:
G#m               C#
And she looks so fine

G#m                           C#
With her white sails flying high

                       B   B B B
I got a free and easy mind



CHORUS:
F#        C#             B
I`ll sail on across the sea

F#      C#           B
You can be what you believe

F#        C#        B
Away from all this bitterness

F#       C#             B   B
Insanity   and lifelessness

C# B                                F#
    And keep your blue eyes open wide
