       Em(9)     Em(9)  C - C(9)  G     C   G    G - G/Gb
Oh I'm sailing away, my own true love
    Em      D/Gb        G       C    G    G - G/Gb
I'm sailing away in the morning
         Em(9)           Em(9)          C - C(9)   G   C   G   G - G/Gb
Is there something I can send you from across the sea
         Em          D/Gb    G       C    D/Gb    G - C/G   G - G/Gb
From the place where I'll be landing
       Em(9)     Em(9)  C - C(9)  G     C   G    G - G/Gb
There's nothing you can send me, my own true love
    Em      D/Gb        G       C    G    G - G/Gb
There's nothing I'm wishing to be owning
         Em          D/Gb    G       C    D/Gb    G - C/G   G - G/Gb
Just carry yourself back to me unspoiled
       Em          D/Gb    G       C    D/Gb    G - C/G   G - G/Gb
From across that lonesome ocean
       Em(9)     Em(9)  C - C(9)  G     C   G    G - G/Gb
Oh, but I just thought you might want something fine
    Em      D/Gb        G       C    G    G - G/Gb
Maybe silver or of golden
       Em(9)     Em(9)  C - C(9)  G     C   G    G - G/Gb
Either from the mountains of Madrid
         Em          D/Gb    G       C    D/Gb    G - C/G   G - G/Gb
Or from the coast of Barcelona
       Em(9)     Em(9)  C - C(9)  G     C   G    G - G/Gb
If I had the stars of the darkest night
    Em      D/Gb        G       C    G    G - G/Gb
And the diamonds from the deepest ocean
       Em(9)     Em(9)  C - C(9)  G     C   G    G - G/Gb
I'd forsake them all for your sweet kiss
         Em          D/Gb    G       C    D/Gb    G - C/G   G - G/Gb
That's all I wish to be owning
       Em(9)     Em(9)  C - C(9)  G     C   G    G - G/Gb
Oh, I might be gone a long ol' time
    Em      D/Gb        G       C    G    G - G/Gb
And it's only that I'm asking
       Em(9)     Em(9)  C - C(9)  G     C   G    G - G/Gb
Is there something I can send you to remember me by
         Em          D/Gb    G       C    D/Gb    G - C/G   G - G/Gb
To make your time more easy passing
       Em(9)     Em(9)  C - C(9)  G     C   G    G - G/Gb
How can, how can you ask me again
    Em      D/Gb        G       C    G    G - G/Gb
Well it only brings me sorrow
       Em(9)     Em(9)  C - C(9)  G     C   G    G - G/Gb
Oh, the same thing I would want today
         Em          D/Gb    G       C    D/Gb    G - C/G   G - G/Gb
I would want again tomorrow
       Em(9)     Em(9)  C - C(9)  G     C   G    G - G/Gb
Oh, I got a letter on a lonesome day
    Em      D/Gb        G       C    G    G - G/Gb
It was from his ship a-sailing
       Em(9)     Em(9)  C - C(9)  G     C   G    G - G/Gb
Saying, I don't know when I'll be coming back again
         Em          D/Gb    G       C    D/Gb    G - C/G   G - G/Gb
It depends on how I'm feeling
       Em(9)     Em(9)  C - C(9)  G     C   G    G - G/Gb
If you, my love, must think thataway
    Em      D/Gb        G       C    G    G - G/Gb
I'm sure your mind is a-roaming
       Em(9)     Em(9)  C - C(9)  G     C   G    G - G/Gb
I'm sure your thoughts are not with me
         Em          D/Gb    G       C    D/Gb    G - C/G   G - G/Gb
But with the country where you're going
       Em(9)     Em(9)  C - C(9)  G     C   G    G - G/Gb
So take heed, take heed of the western wind
    Em      D/Gb        G       C    G    G - G/Gb
Take heed of stormy weather
       Em(9)     Em(9)  C - C(9)  G     C   G    G - G/Gb
And yes, there is something you can send back to me
         Em          D/Gb    G       C    D/Gb    G - C/G   G - G/Gb
