set an o pen course for the (G)vir gin sea.

Re flec tions in the waves spark my (G)mem o ry,

I think of child hood friends and the (G)dreams we had.
We lived hap p’ly for ev er

But some how we missed out
on the pot of gold.
But we’ll try (Em)best that we (Am)can,
to car

(C)Come sail a way, (F)come sail a way, come (G5)sail a way with (F)me.
(C)Come sail a way, (F)come sail a way, come (G5)sail a way with (F)me.

I (C)thought that they were (F)an gels but (G5)much to my sur (F)prise, we (C)climbed a board their (F)star ship and (G5)head ed for the (F)skies.
