Come Sail Away
The Grand Illusion (1977)

C  Dm  Em  Dm  C  G(add11)  (piano)
 
C   Em/B     Am   G F
I'm sailing away
                           G
Set an open course for the Virgin Sea
'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
    C         G/B          Am   G F
And I'll try, oh Lord I'll try
      G     ()
To caaaarry on

I look to the sea                                    (embarque)
Reflections in the waves spark my memory
Some happy, some sad                                 (Fmaj7)
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
  They sang to me this song of hope, and this is what they said, singing
  Come sail away, come sail away, come sail away with me, lads              
  Come sail away, come sail away, come sail away with me 
  Come sail away, come sail away, come sail away with me, babe
                                                      ()
  Come sail away, come sail away, come sail away with me

  I thought that they were angels but much to my surprise
  We climbed aboard their starship and headed for the skies - they said 
  Come sail away, come sail away, come sail away with me, lads

  Come sail away, come sail away, come sail away with me  x 9  (fade out)
