[Intro 1]
[A][G][D][A][G]
[D][A]

[Verse 1]
Got out [A]of town on a boat
[G]Going Southern islan[D]ds
Sailing a [A]reach
Be[G]fore the following [D]sea[A]
She was making for [G]the trades
on the [D]outside
And the [A]downhill run
[G]To Pap[D]eete[A]

[Verse 2]
Off [A]the wind on this [G]heading
lie the Mar[D]quesas
[A]We got eighty feet of the [G]wa terline
[D]Nicely mak[A]ing way
In a noisy bar in [G]Avalon, I tried to [D]call you
But on a [A]midnight watch I [G]realized
Why [D]twice you [G]ran [A]away
Think about [G]Think about how

[Verse 3]
[D]
many times
[G]I have f[A]allen
[G]The spirits are usi[D]ng me
[G]Larger voices [A]callin
[G]What heaven brought you[D] and me
[G]Cannot be [A]forgotten
Think about it

[Verse 4]
I have [D]been around [G]the[A] world
Looking
[D]Looking for that [G]woman girl
[A]Who knows, who knows
Who [D]knows love [G]can endure
[A]And you know it [G]will[D]
You [A]know [G]it will[A]

[Verse 5]
When [A]you see the Southern [G]Cross
For the [D]first time
[A]You understand now
[G]Why you came this [D]way[A]
'Cause the truth you might
be run[G]ning from
Is so [D]small
But it's as [A]big as [G]the promise
The promise of a comin' [A]day
So I'm sailing for tomor[G]row,
my dreams are a [D]dy ing
And my [A]love is an an[G]chor tied to you,
[D]tied with a [G]silver chain
[A]I got my ship

[Verse 6]
And [G]all her flags are a [D]flying
She is [A]all that I have [G]left
And [D]music [G]is her [A]name
Oh think about
[G]Think about how man[D]y times I h[G]ave fall[A]en
[G]The spirits are usi[D]ng me
[G]Larger voices [A]calling
[G]What heaven brought you[D] and me
[G]Cannot be [A]forgotten

[Verse 7]
[A]I've been round the world
I have been [D]around [G]the wor[A]ld
Looking
[D]Looking for that [G]woman [A]girl
Who [D]knows love [G]can en[A]dure
And you know it [G]will[D]
And you [A]know [G]it will[D][A]

[Verse 8]
So [A]we cheated and we lied
And we tested
And we never failed to [G]fail
It was the [D]easiest [A]thing to do
You will sur[G]vive being [D]bested
[A]Somebody fine
Will [G]come along
Make me for[D]get about [G]loving [A]you
In the Southern Cross
