Verse 1
Lead Vocals by Dennis DeYoung
[Intro] - C - Dm - Em - Dm - C - G
[C]I'm [Bm]sailing [Am]away, [G] [F] set an open course for the [G]virgin sea
[C]I've [Bm]got to be [Am]free, [G] [F]free to face the life that's [G]ahead of me
[Am] On board, I'm the captain, [G]so climb aboard
[Am] We'll search for tomorrow on [G]every shore
And I'll [C]try, oh[Bm] Lord, I'll [Am]try [G] [F]to carry [G][C][Dm][Em]on[G][C][Dm]
[C]I [Bm]look to the [Am]sea, [G] [F]reflections in the waves spark my [G]memory
[C]Some [Bm]happy, some [Am][G]sad[F]
I think of childhood friends and the [G]dreams we had
[Am] We live happily forever,[G] so the story goes
[Am] But somehow we missed out[G] on that pot of gold
But [C]we'll try [Bm]best that we [Am][G]can, [F] to carry [G][C][Dm][Em]on[G][C][Dm]
(Im still not sure about this part.
Looks like variations of C and G. Corrections welcome.)
A [C]gathering of angels [G]appeared above my head
They [C]sang to me this song of hope, and [G]this is what they said
They said [C]come sail away, come sail away
Come [G]sail away with me .. lad
[C]Come sail away, come sail away
Come sail away with [Ab]me
(This break uses Ab most of the way i think)
I [C]thought that they were angels, [G]but to my surprise
They [C]climbed aboard their starship and [G]headed for the skies
Singing [C]come sail away, come sail away
Come [G]away with me
[C]Come sail away, come sail away
Come [G]sail away with [Ab]me
