Oh I'm sailin' away my own true love 
    Em      D           G       C G G 
I'm sailin' away in the morning 
         Em              Em             D         G    C G G 
Is there something I can send you from across the sea

From the place that I'll be landing?

No, there's nothin' you can send me, my own true love

There's nothin' I wish to be ownin'

From across that lonesome ocean

Oh, but I just thought you might want something fine 
        Em     D     G       C G G 
Made of silver or of golden 
       Em       Em        D    G    C G G 
Either from the mountains of Madrid

Or from the coast of Barcelona

        Em           Em             D       G     C G G 
Oh, but if I had the stars from the darkest night 
        Em                D       G       C G G 
And the diamonds from the deepest ocean 
       Em        Em      D          G    C G G 
I'd forsake them all for your sweet kiss 
           Em       D            G      C G G 
For that's all I'm wishin' to be ownin'

That I might be gone a long old time

And it's only that I'm askin' 
         Em              Em            D         G    C G G 
Is there something I can send you to remember me by 
             Em        D     G        C G G 
To make your time more easy  passin'? 


Verse 6 
    Em       Em          D       G    C G G 
Oh, how can, how can you ask me again 
   Em   D         G       C G G 
It only brings me sorrow 
    Em   Em            D       G    C G G 
The same thing I would want today 
        Em    D      G        C G G 
I would want again tomorrow 


Verse 7 
     Em    Em          D        G    C G G 
Oh I got a letter on a lonesome day 
       Em       D      G       C G G 
It was from her ship a-sailin' 
       Em      Em                D            G    C G G 
Saying I don't know when I'll be comin' back again 
     Em       D       G        C G G 
It depends on how I'm feelin' 


Verse 8 
    Em     Em         D            G    C G G 
If you, my love, must think that-a-way 
    Em        D       G       C G G 
I'm sure your mind is roamin' 
    Em        Em           D        G    C G G 
I'm sure your thoughts are not with me 
             Em         D            G        C G G 
But with the country to where you're goin'

So take heed, take heed of the western wind 
     Em          D      G       C G G 
Take heed of the stormy weather 
    Em            Em               D            G    C G G 
And yes, there's something you can send back to me 
        Em       D       G        C G G 
Spanish boots of Spanish leather
