Verse 1: 0:13
C    Em       Am
I'm sailing away,
F                             G
  Set an open course for the virgin sea.
0:29
       C     Em         Am
'Cause I've got to be free,

  Free to face the life that's ahead of me.

Am                         G
  On board I'm the captain,  so climb aboard.
Am                          G
  We'll search for tomorrow   on every shore.
1:01

  To carry on.

I look to the sea.

  Reflections in the waves spark my memory,

Some happy, some sad.

  I think of childhood friends, and the dreams we had.

   C           F
A gathering of angels
   G               F
Appeared above my head.
      C               F
They sang to me this song of hope,
      G                F
And this is what they said. They said:

Chorus: 2:53
 C               F
Come sail away, come sail away,
      G              F
Come sail away with me, lads.

Come sail away, come sail away,
      G              F
Come sail away with me.

Come sail away with me.

Come sail away, come sail away,

Come sail away with me.

    C                    F
I thought that they were angels

But much to my surprise,
     C                    F
We climbed aboard their starship

And headed for the skies. Singin':

Come sail away with me.
