Intro: D-A7-D-A7
 
(D)I could have (A7)stayed in the (D)harbour
(G)Safe from the (D)storm and the (A)gale(A7)
(Bm)Letting the (D)sands run (A)through my (D)hands
(G)Watching as (Em)others set (A)sail(A7)

But I (D)would have (A7)spent time (D)counting
The (G)things I'd (D)never (A)known(A7)
(Bm)Passions laid (D)waste, (A)dreams mis(D)placed,
The (G)seeds of de(Em)sire un(A)sown(A7)
 
Chorus:
I'm a (D)single handed (A)sailor(A7)
(Bm)Lost, a(D)drift and a(A)lone(A7)
(D)Hoping to (G)ride the (Em)wind and the (D)tide
(Bm)Hoping to find (A7)my way (G)home
 
Em-A7
 
The (D)sea is (A7)ever (D)changing
Like the (G)beat of a (D)restless (A)heart(A7)
(Bm)Out there I (D)find (A)some peace of (D)mind
To (G)keep me from (Em)falling a(A)part(A7)

(D)When the (A7)voyage was (D)ended
I'd (G)stand once a(D)gain on the (A)shore(A7)
I'd (Bm)take time to (D)smile and (A)rest for a (D)while
Be(G)fore setting (Em)sail once (A)more(A7)
 
Chorus
Em-A7
 
You (D)know I (A7)must roam the (D)ocean,
The (G)wanderlust still (A)burns(A7)
(Bm)'Neath empty (D)skies I'd re(A)member the (D)ties
That (G)bind and I will (Em)always re(A)turn(A7)
