[Verse 1]
D Got out of townA on a boat,G going to Southern isDlands
Sailing a Areach beGfore a following Dsea A
She was making for the tradesG on the Doutside
And the Adownhill runG to PapeeDte A
Off the wind on this Gheading lie the MarDquesas
We got Aeighty feet of the Gwaterline, Dnicely making Away
In a noisy bar in GAvalon, I tried to Dcall you
But on a Amidnight watch I Grealized why Dtwice you Bmran away A
[Pre-Chorus]
G Think about how Dmany times GI have falAlen
G Spirits are Dusing me, Glarger voices Acalling
G What heaven brought Dyou and me Gcannot be forgotAten
I have been aDroundG the Aworld
[Chorus]
DLooking for that GwomanAgirl
Who Dknows love Gcan enAdure
And you know it will A G
[Verse 2]
D A G D When you seeA the Southern GCross for the Dfirst time
You Aunderstand now Gwhy you came this Dway A
Cause the truth you might be Grunning from is Dso small
But it's as Abig as the Gpromise, the Dpromise of a Bmcoming Aday
So I'm Asailing for toGmorrow, my dreams are a Ddying
And my Alove is an anGchor tied to you, Dtied with a silver chain A
I have my ship and Gall her flags are a Dflying
She is Aall that I have Gleft and Dmusic Bmis her Aname
[Pre-Chorus]
G Think about how Dmany times GI have falAlen
G Spirits are Dusing me, Glarger voices Acalling
G What heaven brought Dyou and me Gcannot be forgotAten
I have been aDroundG the Aworld

DLooking for that GwomanAgirl
Who Dknows love Gcan enAdure
And you know it will A G
