Intro

Verse

Outward[A] bound, upon a ship that sails no ocean
Outward[E7] bound, it has no crew but me and [A]you
All alone, when just a minute ago the shore
Was filled with [E7]people, with people that we [A]knew

Verse 2

Outward[A] bound upon a journey without ending
Outward[E7] bound, uncharted waters beneath our [A]bow
Far behind, the green familiar shore is fading
Into [E7]time, and time has left us [A]now

Chorus 1

So [E7]farewell, adieu, so long, vaya con [A]Dios
May they [E7]find whatever they are looking [A]for
Remember when the wine was better than ever again
We could not [E7]ask, we could not ask for [A]more

Verse 3

Outward[A] bound, upon a ship with tattered sail
Outward[E7] bound, along a crooked, lonesome [A]trail
Things we learn, we'll just be satisfied in knowing
And [E7]we'll tell it to our kids as a fairy[A] tale
