Intro:
A

Verse:
       A
Outward bound, upon a ship that sails no ocean
       E7                                A
Outward bound, it has no crew but me and you

All alone, when just a minute ago the shore
                E7                          A
Was filled with people, with people that we knew

Verse 2:

       A
Outward bound upon a journey without ending
       E7                                   A
Outward bound, uncharted waters beneath our bow

Far behind, the green familiar shore is fading
     E7                         A
Into time, and time has left us now


Chorus 1:

       E7                             A
So farewell, adieu, so long, vaya con Dios
         E7                             A
May they find whatever they are looking for

Remember when the wine was better than ever again
              E7                        A
We could not ask, we could not ask for more


Verse 3:

       A
Outward bound, upon a ship with tattered sail
       E7                                A
Outward bound, along a crooked, lonesome trail

Things we learn, we'll just be satisfied in knowing
    E7                                  A
And we'll tell it to our kids as a fairy tale


Chorus 2:

       E7                             A
So farewell, adieu, so long, vaya con Dios
         E7                             A
May they find whatever they are looking for

Remember when the wine was better than ever again
              E7                        A
We could not ask, we could not ask for more
              E7                        A
We could not ask, we could not ask for more
