Waiting at the water's edge,

 Am                                 C               F       G
Watching all the ships as they are heading for the harbour wall,

       Am        F       Am
I was just a boy, I was just a boy,

  F              Am           F              Am        F
Dreaming of the wide world, dreaming of the wide world,

 Am
Watching as they disappear,

 Am                                C            F     G
Reading out the names of all the places I have never been,

        Am         F        Am
Looking out to sea, staring out to sea,

  F            Am           F              Am        F
Dreaming of a wide world, dreaming of the wide world,

 Dm   Am   Dm   G
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh,

              C  C/G   F    C  C/G   F
I wish I was sailing away, sailing away,

 C  C/G   F  G      Am         F      Am         F
Sailing away, with you tonight, with you tonight,
Am F Am F
 Am
Walking down another street,

Am                               C                   F      G
Underneath the red lights, I am watching where the shadows fall,

        Am           F           Am
Looking at the girls, listening to the girls,

  F            Am          F             Am         F
Dreaming of a new world, dreaming of that new world,

 Dm   Am   Dm   G
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh,

              C  C/G   F    C  C/G   F
I wish I was sailing away, sailing away,

 C  C/G   F  G        Am           F        Am           F
Sailing away, in your arms tonight, in your arms tonight,
Am F Am F Am F Am F
              C  C/G   F    C  C/G   F
I wish I was sailing away, sailing away,

 C  C/G   F  G      Am     F      Am     F
Sailing away, with you now, with you now...
