Blue Boat Home
Peter Mayer

C       C          F      G
Though below me I feel no motion
C        Am7      G             C
Standing on these mountains and plains
C    C            F       G
Far away from the rolling ocean
C        Am7      G         C
Still my dry land heart can say
Em        Am7     Dm7    G7
I've been sailing all my life now
Em    FM7         Dm7           G7
Never harbor nor port have I known
    C       F            C       G
The wide universe is the ocean I travel
C       F           C    G    C
And the Earth is my blue boat home

C       C        F        G
Sun, my sail and moon, my rudder
C    Am7     G      C
As I ply the starry sea
C    C           F       G
Leaning over the edge in wonder
C        Am7      G        C
Casting questions into the deep
Em       Am7          Dm7    G7
Drifting here with my ship's companions
Em     FM7     Dm7      G7
All we kindred pilgrim souls
C       F             C             G
Making our way by the lights of the heavens
C      F         C    G    C
In our beautiful blue boat home


C       C            F       G
I give thanks to the waves upholding me
C        Am7         G         C
Hail the great winds urging me on
C    C             F     G
Greet the infinite sea before me
C        Am7    G        C
Sing the sky my sailor's song
Em    Am7   Dm7     G7
I was born upon the fathoms
Em    FM7       Dm7         G7
Never harbor or port have I known
    C       F            C       G
The wide universe is the ocean I travel
C       F           C    G    C
And the Earth is my blue boat home
