Southern Cross
Crosby Stills Nash


Intro A augmentedA Gmaj7Gmaj7 D MajorD A augmentedA D MajorD A augmentedA


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

      G+G
Think about
        D MajorD     Gmaj7Gmaj7 A augmentedA   G+G
Think about how many times I have fallen
      D MajorD    Gmaj7Gmaj7     A augmentedA    G+G
Spirits are using me larger voices calling
          D MajorD     Gmaj7Gmaj7    A augmentedA
What heaven brought you and me cannot be forgotten
       D MajorD  G6G6    A augmentedA
I have been around... the world
D MajorD        G6G6  A augmentedA
Lookin` for that woman girl
  D MajorD     G6G6  A augmentedA
Who knows love can endure
         A augmentedA G+G D MajorD A augmentedA G+G D MajorD A augmentedA
And you know it will


     A augmentedA        G+G       D MajorD
When you see the Southern Cross for the first time
  A augmentedA       G+G         D MajorD  A augmentedA
You understand now why you came this way
               G+G        D MajorD
`Cause the truth you might be runnin` from is so small
      A augmentedA     G+G
But its as big as the promise
  D MajorD       B minorBm   A augmentedA
The promise of the comin` day
    A augmentedA      G+G             D MajorD
So I`m sailin` for tommorrow my dreams are a dying
    A augmentedA     G+G       D MajorD
And my love is an anchor tied to you
      B minorBm   A augmentedA
Tied with a silver chain
     A augmentedA    G+G          D MajorD
I have my ship and all her flags are a flyin`
    A augmentedA        G+G
She is all that I have left
  D MajorD   B minorBm   A augmentedA
And music is her name

      G+G
Think about
        D MajorD     Gmaj7Gmaj7 A augmentedA   G+G
Think about how many times I have fallen
      D MajorD    Gmaj7Gmaj7     A augmentedA    G+G
Spirits are usin` me larger voices callin`
          D MajorD     Gmaj7Gmaj7    A augmentedA
What heaven brought you and me cannot be forgotten
       D MajorD  G6G6    A augmentedA
I have been around... the world
D MajorD        G6G6  A augmentedA
Lookin` for that woman girl
  D MajorD     G6G6  A augmentedA
Who knows love can endure
         A augmentedA G+G D MajorD
And you know it will
    A augmentedA    G+G  D MajorD A augmentedA
And you know it will


Gmaj7Gmaj7 D MajorD A augmentedA Gmaj7Gmaj7 D MajorD A augmentedA Gmaj7Gmaj7 D MajorD A augmentedA Gmaj7Gmaj7 D MajorD A augmentedA


   A augmentedA       G+G      D MajorD
So we cheated and we lied and we tested
    A augmentedA        G+G
And we never failed to fail
      D MajorD    B minorBm    A augmentedA
It was the easiest thing to do
      G+G     D MajorD
You will survive being bested
     A augmentedA     G+G
Somebody fine will come along
    D MajorD      B minorBm   A augmentedA
Make me forget about lovin` you
        A augmentedA   G6G6 D MajorD A augmentedA G+G D MajorD
In the southern cross

Southern Cross chords

`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.
