Sail Away to the Sea

Dave Cousins / Sandy Denny & the Strawbs: All Our Own Work (1973) / the Once (2010)

C G Am C F C
The hands on the clock keep turning around, They point to the time of the day.
C G Am C F C
The time means nothing with you by my side, Though some time I'll be on my way.
F C F C
Down the road to where I must go, There's nothing between you and me.
C G Am C
I'll take a boat down the river, my love,
F C F C
And sail away to the sea; I'll sail away to the sea.
 
C G Am C F C
What will you take to remember me by? I've no money to buy you a smile.
C G Am C F C
I can't say the words to bid you farewell, So I'll carry them with me a while.
F C F C
Down the road to where I must go, There's nothing between you and me.
C G Am C
I'll take a boat down the river, my love,
F C F C
And sail away to the sea; I'll sail away to the sea.
Solo
F C F C
And sail away to the sea; I'll sail away to the sea.
 
C G Am C F C
You'll wave goodbye 'till I pass out of sight - As you're waving goodbye for good.
C G Am C F C
I can't even take you part of the way, I only wish that I could.
F C F C
Down the road to where I must go, There's nothing between you and me.
C G Am C
I'll take a boat down the river, my love,
F C F C
And sail away to the sea; I'll sail away to the sea.
