(Intro) Cm Abmaj7 Cm Abmaj7
(Verse 1)
Cm
Waiting at the water's edge, watching all the ships
Bb/D Eb Ab Bb
As they are heading for the harbour wall;
Cm Abmaj7 Cm Abmaj7
I was just a boy, I was just a boy,
Cm Abmaj7 Cm Abmaj7
Dreaming of the wide world, dreaming of the wide world,
(Verse 2)
Cm
Watching as they disappear, reading out the names of
Bb/D Eb Ab Bb
All the places I have never been;
Cm Abmaj7 Cm Abmaj7
Looking out to sea, looking out to sea,
Cm Abmaj7 Cm Abmaj7
Dreaming of a wide world, dreaming of a wide world,
(Chorus)
Fm Cm Fm Bb
Ooh, Oooh, Ooh, Oooh, I wish I was
Eb Ab Eb Ab Eb Ab Bb
Sailing away, sailing away, sailing away
Cm Abmaj7 Cm
With you tonight, with you tonight
(Verse 3)
Cm
Walking down another street, underneath the red lights
Bb/D Eb Ab Bb
I am watching where the shadows fall,
Cm Abmaj7 Cm Abmaj7
Looking at the girls, listening to the girls,
Cm Abmaj7 Cm Abmaj7
Dreaming of a new world, dreaming of that new world,
(Chorus)
Fm Cm Fm Bb
Ooh, Oooh, Ooh, Oooh, I wish I was
Eb Ab Eb Ab Eb Ab Bb
Sailing away, sailing away, sailing away
Cm Abmaj7 Cm Abmaj7
In your arms tonight, in your arms tonight

Eb Ab Eb Ab
I wish I was sailing away, sailing away
Eb Ab Bb Cm Abmaj7 Cm
Sailing away, with you now, with you now.
