Em C G C/g G G/g-G/#f
Oh I'm sailing away, my own true love

I'm sailing away in the morning

From the place where I'll be landing
VERSE 2:
There's nothing you can send me, my own true love
There's nothing I'm wishing to be owning
Just carry yourself back to me unspoiled
>From across that lonesome ocean
VERSE 3
Oh, but I just thought you might want something fine
Maybe silver or of golden
Either from the mountains of Madrid
Or from the coast of Barcelona

VERSE 4
If I had the stars of the darkest night
And the diamonds from the deepest ocean
I'd forsake them all for your sweet kiss
That's all I wish to be owning
VERSE 5
Oh, I might be gone a long ol' time
And it's only that I'm asking
Is there something I can send you to remember me by
To make your time more easy passing
VERSE 6
How can, how can you ask me again
Well it only brings me sorrow
Oh, the same thing I would want today
I would want again tomorrow
INSTRUMENTAL - same chords as intro
VERSE 7
Oh, I got a letter on a lonesome day
It was from his ship a-sailing
Saying, I don't know when I'll be coming back again
It depends on how I'm feeling
VERSE 8
If you, my love, must think thataway
I'm sure your mind is a-roaming
I'm sure your thoughts are not with me
But with the country where you're going
VERSE 9
So take heed, take heed of the western wind
Take heed of stormy weather
And yes, there is something you can send back to me
