    Bm    D     A    F#m   A/Ab    E


Bm  D  A

    Bm
The southwestern wind
   D
It soon will blow again
A                     Bm
Blowing steady at its pace
(B) (C#) D
And I'm  travelling at the measure
     F#m    A/Ab  A   A/Ab
Of a lonely man's leisure
F#m       E              A
Sailing across the ocean grace


         Bm
And this heavy heavy burden
       D
On the last of my two dollars
A                              Bm
Hidden in the neck of my guitar case
(B) (C#) D
And I'm  trying to make a pastime
       F#m    A/Ab    A     A/Ab
Out of living off the last dime
F#m      E               A
Sailing across the ocean grace


            D
And you can count the goodbyes
         A
With the tears in my eyes
D                           E
Rolling down this weathered face
         F#m          E
With the pockets of a poor man
        Bm
And the love of a woman
                             A  A/Ab  A
I'm sailing across the ocean grace


              Bm
And there's a cradle in the valley
       D
Of the Appalachian mountains
          A                                  Bm
Where the wood is split to crack in the fireplace
(B) (C#) D
And the  winter is a shepherd
        F#m    A/Ab     A      A/Ab
And she calls me with a soft word
F#m      E               A
Sailing across the ocean grace


        Bm
And the candle in the window
   D
It flickers a reminder
    A                          Bm
The morning sun will show its face
(B) (C#) D
And the  folly of a traveler
      F#m   A/Ab     A    A/Ab
As in passing what he's after
F#m      E               A
Sailing across the ocean grace


            D
And you can count the goodbyes
         A
With the tears in my eyes
D                           E
Rolling down this weathered face
         F#m          E
With the pockets of a poor man
        Bm
And the love of a woman
                             A  A/Ab  A
I'm sailing across the ocean grace

And the love of a woman
                             A  A/Ab  A
I'm sailing across the ocean grace


        Bm
And the news is in the paper
       D
And it reads across the pages
  A                             Bm
A sailor lost at sea without a trace
(B) (C#) D
And I'm  itching away the high hand
       F#m      A/Ab    A   A/Ab
As I'm stepping off the dry land
F#m      E               A
Sailing across the ocean grace


            D
And you can count the goodbyes
         A
With the tears in my eyes
D                           E
Rolling down this weathered face
         F#m          E
With the pockets of a poor man
        Bm
And the love of a woman
                             A  A/Ab  A
I'm sailing across the ocean grace
