Crosby, Stills & Nash – Southern Cross (Guitar)

           G         F                      C
Got out of town on a boat goin' to southern islands.

          G       F                C
Sailing a reach before a following sea.

        G              F             C
She was making for the trades on the outside,

        G        F           C
And the downhill run to Papeete.

        G            F               C
Off the wind on this heading lie the Marquesas.

       G              F         C      Am     G
We got eighty feet of waterline nicely making way.

     G            F                  C
In a noisy bar in Avalon, I tried to call you,

         G                F            C         Am   G     G
But on a midnight watch I realized why twice you ran away. (think about)

F               C          F      G
Think about how many times I have fallen.

F            C         F             G
 Spirits are using me; larger voices callin'.

F                    C          F            G
 What heaven brought you and me cannot be forgotten.

            C   F      G      C                F     G
I have been around the world, lookin' for that woman-girl

    C          F     G
Who knows love can endure.

                G G  F F  C C C C  
And you know it will.

                G G  F F  C C C G
And you know it will

         G                F             C
When you see the Southern Cross for the first time,

    G              F                 C
You understand now why you came this way.

           G                  F               C
'Cause the truth you might be runnin' from is so small,

            G          F            C            Am     G
But it's as big as the promise, the promise of a comin' day.

       G           F                         C
So I'm sailing for tomorrow. My dreams are a-dying.

       G          F                   C           Am     G
And my love is an anchor tied to you, tied with a silver chain.

                    F                   C
I have my ship, and all her flags are a-flying.

       G               F         C     Am     G      G
She is all that I have left, and music is her name. (think about)

F               C          F      G
Think about how many times I have fallen.

F            C         F             G
 Spirits are using me; larger voices callin'.

F                    C          F             G
 What heaven brought you and me cannot be forgotten.

            C   F      G      C                F     G
I have been around the world, lookin' for that woman-girl

    C          F      G
Who knows love can endure.

                G G  F F  C C C C 
And you know it will.

                G G  F F  C C C G
And you know it will

      G              F           C
So we cheated and we lied and we tested.

       G               F                C       Am       G
And we never failed to fail; it was the easiest thing to do.

G           F          C
You will survive being bested.

G                  F                  C            Am     G
Somebody fine will come along make me forget about loving you

                G G  F F  C C C C  \  G G  F F  C C C  G
In the Southern Cross.
