Southern Cross by Crosby, Stills & Nash: Guitar, Bass & Songwriting Insights
`Southern Cross` is a song written by Stephen Stills, Rick Curtis, and Michael Curtis and performed by the rock band Crosby, Stills & Nash. It was featured on the bands Daylight Again album and was released as a single in September 1982. Stephen Stills sings lead vocals throughout, with Graham Nash joining the second verse. Because David Crosby did not rejoin the band until the album was already underway, his vocals are not featured on the album version of the song, although he did appear in the video and subsequently sang the song with the group in live performances. The single was a respectable success on the charts, reaching #18 on the Billboard Hot 100 for three weeks in late November and early December 1982.- Tuning: Standard tuning

Crosby Stills Nash
Intro A Gmaj7 D A D A
A G D
Got outta` town on a boat going to southern islands
A G D A
Sailin` reach before a a following sea
G D
She was makin` for the trades on the outside
A G D A
And the downhill run to Papeete Bay
G D
Off this wind on this headin` lie the Marquesas
A G D Bm A
We got eighty feet of the waterline nicely makin` way
G D
In a noisy bar in Avalon I tried to call you
A G D Bm A
But on the midnight watch I realized why twice you ran away

When you see the Southern Cross for the first time
A G D A
You understand now why you came this way

`Cause the truth you might be runnin` from is so small
A G
But its as big as the promise
D Bm A
The promise of the comin` day

So I`m sailin` for tommorrow my dreams are a dying
A G D
And my love is an anchor tied to you

Tied with a silver chain
A G D
I have my ship and all her flags are a flyin`

She is all that I have left
D Bm A
And music is her name

So we cheated and we lied and we tested

And we never failed to fail

It was the easiest thing to do

You will survive being bested
A G
Somebody fine will come along
D Bm A
Make me forget about lovin` you
