(Intro) Cm G#maj7 Cm G#maj7
(Verse 1)
Cm
Waiting at the water's edge, watching all the ships
A#/D D# G# A#
As they are heading for the harbour wall;
Cm G#maj7 Cm G#maj7
I was just a boy, I was just a boy,
Cm G#maj7 Cm G#maj7
Dreaming of the wide world, dreaming of the wide world,
(Verse 2)
Cm
Watching as they disappear, reading out the names of
A#/D D# G# A#
All the places I have never been;
Cm G#maj7 Cm G#maj7
Looking out to sea, looking out to sea,
Cm G#maj7 Cm G#maj7
Dreaming of a wide world, dreaming of a wide world,
(Chorus)
Fm Cm Fm A#
Ooh, Oooh, Ooh, Oooh, I wish I was
D# G# D# G# D# G# A#
Sailing away, sailing away, sailing away
Cm G#maj7 Cm
With you tonight, with you tonight
(Verse 3)
Cm
Walking down another street, underneath the red lights
A#/D D# G# A#
I am watching where the shadows fall,
Cm G#maj7 Cm G#maj7
Looking at the girls, listening to the girls,
Cm G#maj7 Cm G#maj7
Dreaming of a new world, dreaming of that new world,
(Chorus)
Fm Cm Fm A#
Ooh, Oooh, Ooh, Oooh, I wish I was
D# G# D# G# D# G# A#
Sailing away, sailing away, sailing away
Cm G#maj7 Cm G#maj7
In your arms tonight, in your arms tonight
(Outro)
D# G# D# G#
I wish I was sailing away, sailing away
D# G# A# Cm G#maj7 Cm
Sailing away, with you now, with you now.
