C   G/B      Am    Am Am/G F 
I'm sailing away, 

            Fmaj7          G             G7 
set an open course for the virgin sea.  
   
       C    G/B       Am     Am Am/G F 
'Cause I've got to be free, 

               Fmaj7        G 
free to face a life that's ahead of me. 
  
Am                        G    
 On board I'm a captain,   so climb aboard. 
  
Am                            G  
 We'll search for tomorrow     on ev'ry shore. 

         C    G/B           Am   Am Am/G F 
And I'll try, oh Lord, I'll try 

        G     C 
to caaaaaarry on.  
  
INTRO 

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. 
We lived happily forever, so the story goes. 
But somehow we missed out on the pot of gold. 
But we'll try, best that we can, 
to carry on!

A gathering of angels appeared above my head. 

     C5              F5               G5                F5 
They sang to me this song of hope and this is what they said, they said, 

 C5              F5                   G5             F5 
"Come sail away, come sail away, come sail away with me, lads. 

C5              F5                   G5             F5 
Come sail away, come sail away, come sail away with me. 

C5              F5              G5                  F5 
Come sail away, come sail away, come sail away with me, baby. 

C5              F5                   G5             A5 (12th fret) 
Come sail away, come sail away, some sail away with me!" 

SOLO BRIDGE 

C5 F5 G5 F5 x3 

I thought that they were angels, but to my surprise 
we climbed aboard their starship, we headed for the skies, singing, 
"Come sail away, come sail away, come sail away with me, lads, 
Come sail away, come sail away, come sail away with me." 
etc.
