Southern Cross

Got out of A town on a G boat for the southern isD)lands. Sailing a A reach beG)fore a followin' D sea. A She was makin' for the G trades on the D outside, And the A downhill G run to Papeete D Bay. A On this heading off the G wind lies the MarqD)uesas. We got A eighty feet of the G waterline. D Nicely Bm making A way. In a noisy bar in G Avalon I tried to D call you. But on a A midnight watch I G realized why D twice you Bm ran aA)way. Think about G Think about how D many times G I have A fallen, G Spirits are D using me, G larger voices A callin'. G What heaven D brought you and me G cannot be forgotA)ten. I have been aD)round G the A world, Asus4 D Lookin' for that G woman, A girl, Asus4 Who D knows G love can enA)dure. And you know it G will. D And you know it A will. When you A see the Southern G Cross for the D first time, You A understand now why you G came this D way. A 'Cause the truth you might be G runnin' from is so D small. But it's as A big as the prG)omise, the promise of a coming D day. A So I'm sailing for toG)morrow, my dreams are a D dyin'. And my A love is an anchor tied to G you, D tied with a silver A chain. I have my G ship and all her flags are a D flyin' She is A all that I have G left and D music is Bm her A name. Think about G Think about how D many times G I have A fallen, G Spirits are D using me, G larger voices A callin'. G What heaven D brought you and me G cannot be forgotA)ten. I have been aD)round G the A world, D Lookin' for that G woman, A girl, Who D knows G love can enA)dure. And you know it G will. D And you know it A will. So we cheated and we G tried and we D tested And we A never failed to G fail, it was the D easiest thing to A do. You will surG)vive being D bested. But somebody A strong comes along and G make me forget ForD)get about Bm loving A you. At the Southern Cross. G D A G D
