Intro: G C/G  (repeat) 

Verse: 

G      Bm7/G            D/F# D6  G    C/G G  
 Oh I'm sailin' away my own true love 
    Em      D6   D6/C   G      C/G G  
I'm sailin' away in the morning 
         Em                            D6     D6/C  G     C/G G                          
Is there something I can send you from across the   sea 
       Bm7         D/F#  D6   G      C/G G 
From the place that I'll be landing? 

Verse: 

No, there's nothin' you can send me, my own true love 
There's nothin' I wish to be ownin' 
Just carry yourself back to me unspoiled 
From across that lonesome ocean. 

Verse:  
   
Oh, but I just thought you might want something fine 
Made of silver or of golden 
Either from the mountains of Madrid 
Or from the coast of Barcelona ? 

Verse: 

Oh, but if I had the stars from the darkest night 
And the diamonds from the deepest ocean 
I'd forsake them all for your sweet kiss 
For that's all I'm wishin' to be ownin'. 

Break: Em C9 G C/G G 
      
Verse: 
That I might be gone a long time 
And it's only that I'm askin' 
Is there something I can send you to remember me by 
To make your time more easy passin'? 

Verse: 
Oh, how can, how can you ask me again 
It only brings me sorrow 
But the same thing I would want from you today 
I would want again tomorrow. 

Break II:  Em C G C/G G  (2x)

Verse: 
When I got a letter on a lonesome day 
It was from her ship a-sailin' 
Saying I don't know when I'll be comin' back again 
It depends on how I'm a-feelin'. 

Verse: 
Well, if you, my love, must think that-a-way 
I'm sure your mind is roamin' 
I'm sure your heart is not with me 
But with the country to where you're goin'. 

Verse: 
So take heed, take heed of the western wind 
Take heed of the stormy weather 
And yes, there's something you can send back to me 
Spanish boots of Spanish leather.
