Crosby, Stills & Nash – Southern Cross (Guitar)

  A                  G                D   Dsus4  D
Got out of town on a boat to southern islands

            A   G                   D A7sus4 A
Sailing a reach before a followin' sea

 A                        G             D   Dsus4  D
She was makin' for the trades on the outside,

           A         G      D A7sus4 A
On a downhill run to Papeete

          A              G               D   Dsus4  D
Off the wind on this heading lie the Marquesas

          A               G           D      G     A
We got eighty feet of the waterline, nicely making way

        A           G                D   Dsus4  D
In a noisy bar in Avalon I tried to call you

            A               G            D       G   A
But on a midnight watch I realized why twice you ran away

A            G                D         G       A
Think about, think about how many times I have fallen

 G            D         G             A
Spirits are using me, larger voices callin'

 G                   D            G          A
What heaven brought you and me cannot be forgotten

A           D  G         A
I have been around the world

D                G      A          D          G   A
lookin' for that woman, girl   Who knows love can endure

                 A G D Dsus4  D                  A  G G D A
And you know it will              And you know it will

 A                        G             D   Dsus4  D
When you see the Southern Cross for the first time

    A              G                 D  A7sus4 A
You understand now why you came this way

           A                  G                  D   Dsus4  D
'Cause the truth you might be runnin' from is so small

            A          G         D            G      A
But it's as big as the promise,  Promise of a coming day

       A           G                         D    Dsus4  D
So I'm sailing for tomorrow, my dreams are a dyin'

   A          G                   D           G      A
My love is an anchor tied to you, Tied with a silver chain

 A                 G                   D    Dsus4  D
I have my ship and all her flags are a flyin'

 A                     G        D     G      A
She is all that I have left and music is her name ...

A            G                D         G       A
Think about, think about how many times I have fallen

 G            D         G             A
Spirits are using me, larger voices callin'

 G                   D            G          A
What heaven brought you and me cannot be forgotten

A           D  G         A
I have been around the world

D                G      A          D          G   A
lookin' for that woman, girl   Who knows love can endure

                 A G D Dsus4  D                  A  G G D A
And you know it will              And you know it will

      A              G           D    Dsus4  D
So we cheated and we lied and we tested

       A               G                D       G        A
And we never failed to fail, it was the easiest thing to do

         G             D     Dsus4  D
You will survive being bested

         A         G               D            G      A
Somebody fine will come along baby forget about loving you

                 A   G  D  Dsus4  D
And the Southern Cross
