Billy Joel – The Winter Crossing (Guitar)

                 Bb/C   Cm9
When I was just a boy I dreamt

    Ab   Eb      F
I'd run away to sea

     Gm               Bb/C    Cm9
And sign aboard some merchant ship

    Ab    Eb    F     Bb
And sail across   the ocean

    Gm         Bb/C   Cm9
When I became a man I put

     Ab       Eb     F
My childhood things away

     Gm              Bb/C    Cm9
And gave up all the dreams I had

    Ab     Eb F     Bb
Of sailing on   the ocean

   C7/Bb
So long, so long

  F/A             Dm7                Gsus4 G
I wave goodbye to my old friend the sea

     Bb7/Ab          Gm7
It's winter time and you know

 Gm         Cm7 Cm     G/D D
I'm not what I used to be

    Gm             Bb/C  Cm9
Sometimes I feel so far away

     Ab      Eb      F
From all the ones I love

     Gm               Bb/C      Cm9
The storm that raged along this coast

     Ab     Eb  F       Bb
Keep every ship   from sailing

    Gm
And who would brave

  Bb/C  Cm9     Ab Eb    F
A voyage in the January gales

    Gm           Bb/C   Cm9
The boy who ran away to sea

     Ab       Eb F   Bb
Can make the winter crossing

    C7/Bb
Come on, come on

    F/A
He cried, come with me

Dm7               Gsus4 G
    To the other shore

    Bb7/Ab              Gm7     Gm
But I've been gone too long to make

Cm7          Cm      G/D D
    The crossing anymore
