           A         G                      D
Got outta` town on a boat going to southern islands

And the downhill run   to Papeete Bay
                      G               D
Off this wind on this headin` lie the Marquesas

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

You understand now why you came this way
                              G               D
`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
       A           G                         D
So I`m sailin` for tommorrow my dreams are a dying
       A          G              D
And my love is an anchor tied to you
            Bm     A
Tied with a silver chain
          A        G                   D
I have my ship and all her flags are a flyin`
       A               G
She is all that I have left
    D     Bm     A
And music is her name


            G

Somebody fine will come along

Make me forget about lovin` you
