Intro:
A augmentedA

Verse:
    A augmentedA
Outward bound, upon a ship that sails no ocean
    E7E7                A augmentedA
Outward bound, it has no crew but me and you

All alone, when just a minute ago the shore
        E7E7             A augmentedA
Was filled with people, with people that we knew

Verse 2:

    A augmentedA
Outward bound upon a journey without ending
    E7E7                  A augmentedA
Outward bound, uncharted waters beneath our bow

Far behind, the green familiar shore is fading
   E7E7             A augmentedA
Into time, and time has left us now


Chorus 1:

    E7E7               A augmentedA
So farewell, adieu, so long, vaya con Dios
     E7E7               A augmentedA
May they find whatever they are looking for

Remember when the wine was better than ever again
       E7E7            A augmentedA
We could not ask, we could not ask for more


Verse 3:

    A augmentedA
Outward bound, upon a ship with tattered sail
    E7E7                A augmentedA
Outward bound, along a crooked, lonesome trail

Things we learn, we'll just be satisfied in knowing
  E7E7                 A augmentedA
And we'll tell it to our kids as a fairy tale


Chorus 2:

    E7E7               A augmentedA
So farewell, adieu, so long, vaya con Dios
     E7E7               A augmentedA
May they find whatever they are looking for

Remember when the wine was better than ever again
       E7E7            A augmentedA
We could not ask, we could not ask for more
       E7E7            A augmentedA
We could not ask, we could not ask for more
