[Verse]
Esus2 Amaj7 Big ship a-sailing out from the harbour Esus2 Amaj7 Once you are going, there's no return Esus2 Amaj7 You carry my heart, you carry my loved one Esus2 Amaj7 Like a bird of prey away from me
[Chorus]
G#m Amaj7 There's a million miles of water G#m Amaj7 Bright a-burning desert sands G#m Amaj7 Across the Rocky Mountains G#m Amaj7 So vast I cannot speak Esus2 Amaj7 Whoa, I wanna cry, what can I say?
[Verse]
Esus2 Amaj7 Upon the quayside I stand in silence Esus2 Amaj7 And I watch the wake you leave behind Esus2 Amaj7 And all along the busy docklands Esus2 Amaj7 The seagulls cry their lonesome sound
[Chorus]
G#m Amaj7 There's a million miles of water G#m Amaj7 Bright burning desert sands G#m Amaj7 There's a million hearts a-beating G#m Amaj7 In the strange and distant land G#m Amaj7 Across the Rocky Mountains G#m Amaj7 So vast I cannot speak Esus2 Amaj7 Whoa, I wanna cry, what can I say?
