[G]  [C]  [G]  [C]  [G]  [C]  [G]  [C] 
I’m [G] leaving my [C] family, I’m [G] leaving all my [Em] friends 
My [G] body's at [Em] home  but my [Am] heart’s in the [D] wind  
Where the [G] clouds are like [C] headlines on a [G] new front page [Em] sky  
My [G] tears are salt [Em] water and the [Am] moon’s full [D7] and [G] high 
[G]  [G]  [C] [G] 
I [G] know Martin [C] Eden  is gonna [G] be proud of [Em] me now 
there’s [G] many be-[Em]fore me have been [Am] called to the [D] sea  
To be [G] up in the [C] crow's nest [G] singing my [Em] say 
[G] Shiver me [Em] timbers as I'm [Am] sailing [D7] a-[G]way 

Now the [Em] fog's lifting the [Ebaug] sand's shifting
I’m [G] drift-i-ing [Em6] on out 
[Am] Old Captain [Am7] Ahab he ain't got
[Am] nothing [Am9] on [Am/C] me [D] now  
So [Em] swallow me [Ebaug] don’t follow me
[G] ‘cause-I'm travelling a-[Em6]lone 
[Am] Water’s my [Am7] daughter I'm gonna
[Am] skip [Am9] like [Am/C] a [D] sto-o-o
[G] o-o-o- [C] o-one  [G]  [Em] 
[G]  [Em]  [Am]  [D] 

[G]  [C]  [G]  [Em] 
[G]  [Em]  [Am]  [G] 
[G]  [G]  [C] [G] 
{quiet}
So [G] please tell my [C] mister just [G] tell him not to [Em] cry  
‘Cause-my [G] goodbye is [Em] written by the [Am] moon in the [D] sky 
{louder}
[G] Nobody [C] knows me I-can't [G] fathom my [Em] stay 
[G] Shiver me [Em] timbers as I'm [Am] sailing [D7] a-[G]way 

Now the [Em] fog's lifting the [Ebaug] sand's shifting
I’m [G] drifting [Em6] on out 
[Am] Old Captain [Am7] Ahab he ain't got
[Am] nothing [Am9] on [Am/C] me [D] now  
So [Em] swallow me [Ebaug] don’t follow-me
[G] I'm travelling a-[Em6]lone 
[Am] Water’s my [Am7] daughter I'm gonna
[Am] skip [Am9] like [Am/C] a [D] stone 

and I’m [G]* leaving my [C]* family, [G]* leaving all my [Em]* friends 
My [G]* body's at [Em]* home but my [Am] heart’s in the [D7] wind 
The [G] clouds are like [C] headlines on a [G] new front page [Em] sky 
[G] Shiver me [Em] timbers as I'm [Am] sailing a-[D] a-a-a-
[G] wa-a-a- [G] a-a-ay [G]*
