Intro:
G C/G (repeat)
Verse:
G Bm7 D/F# G C/G G
Oh I'm sailin' away my own true love
Em D/F# G C/G G
I'm sailin' away in the morning
Em D/F# G C/G G
Is there something I can send you from across the sea
Bm7 D/F# G C/G G
From the place that I'll be landing?
Verse:
Bm7 D/F# G C/G G
No, there's nothin' you can send me, my own true love
Em D/F# G C/G G
There's nothin' I wishin to be ownin'
Em D/F# G C/G G
Just to carry yourself back to me unspoiled
Bm7 D/F# G C/G G
From across that lonesome ocean.
Verse:
Bm7 D/F# G C/G G
Oh, but I just thought you might want something fine
Em D/F# G C/G G
Made of silver or of golden
Em D/F# G C/G G
Either from the mountains of Madrid
Bm7 D/F# G C/G G
Or from the coast of Barcelona
Verse:
Bm7 D/F# G C/G G
Oh, but if I had the stars from the darkest night
Em D/F# G C/G G
And the diamonds from the deepest ocean
Em D/F# G C/G G
I'd forsake them all for your sweet kiss
Bm7 D/F# G C/G G
For that's all I'm wishin' to be ownin'.
Verse:
Bm7 D/F# G C/G G
That I might be gone a long time
Em D/F# G C/G G
And it's only that I'm askin'
Em D/F# G C/G G
Is there something I can send you to remember me by
Bm7 D/F# G C/G G
To make your time more easy passin'?
Verse:
Bm7 D/F# G C/G G
Oh, how can, how can you ask me again
Em D/F# G C/G G
It only brings me sorrow
Em D/F# G C/G G
But the same thing I would want from you today
Bm7 D/F# G C/G G
I would want again tomorrow.
Break II:
Em7 C* G C/G G x2
Verse:
Bm7 D/F# G C/G G
When I got a letter on a lonesome day
Em D/F# G C/G G
It was from her ship a-sailin'
Em D/F# G C/G G
Saying I don't know when I'll be comin' back again
Bm7 D/F# G C/G G
It depends on how I'm a-feelin'.
Verse:
Bm7 D/F# G C/G G
Well, if you, my love, must think that-a-way
Em D/F# G C/G G
I'm sure your mind is roamin'
Em D/F# G C/G G
I'm sure your heart is not with me
Bm7 D/F# G C/G G
But with the country to where you're goin'.
Verse:
Bm7 D/F# G C/G G
So take heed, take heed of the western wind
Em D/F# G C/G G
Take heed of the stormy weather
Em D/F# G C/G G
And yes, there's something you can send back to me
Bm7 D/F# G C/G G
Spanish boots of Spanish leather.
