Verse 1:
     F# minorF#m     F minorFm
From the neonlight galore
     F# minorF#m      FF
Windin' back to ancient fury

As the waves grow higher

And the bones weaken

     F# minorF#m     FF
With the wind as your guide
     F# minorF#m      FF
And the silver stars above your beacon

With this ship of fools a-flyin'
   E MajorE   Dsus2Dsus2
Over dyin' seas

With your wings spread out wide
   E MajorE   Dsus2Dsus2
In a flyin' spree

Verse 4:
     F# minorF#m     FF
May the wind be your guide
   F# minorF#m     FF      E MajorE
Your ride home to where you belong

Midnight rambler travel on

May lightnin' strike upon us

As the waves turn to fire
     E MajorE       Dsus2Dsus2
With the bones bound to break

Verse 6:
     F# minorF#m    E minorEm
With all fears overcome
    F# minorF#m        E minorEm
And our sails shredded to pieces

I was thinkin' of crossin' the woods and the plains
