Dm             F 
They stood upon the deck 

C             Bb 
As the ship went out to sea. 

                      F 
The wind it took the sails 

     C               Bb      
And left the land a memory. 


 Dm              F 
All upon the shore for 

    C           Bb 
To wonder why the sailor goes. 

                    F 
All to close their eyes 

     C               Bb     Dm 
And wonder what the sailor knows. 


G       F 
That is you to they, 

Bb               G 
That is how they think you are. 

G     F      Bb 
Never on the land, 

     G            
But sailing by the north star.
