Jimmy Buffett – Southern Cross (Guitar)

           A         G                      D
Got out of town on a boat for the southern islands

     A       G                D    A
On a reach before a followin' sea

        A              G             D
We were makin' for the trades on the outside

       A           G        D   A
On the downhill run to Papeete

        A               G                D
On this heading off the wind lie the Marquesas

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

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

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

G                 D          G      A
  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

             D   G     A
I have been around the world

D                G       A
Lookin' for that woman, girl

    D          G     A
Who knows love can endure

N.C.             A   G  D  D
And you know it will

            A    G  D  A
You know it will

            A                 G             D
When you've seen the Southern Cross for the first time

    A               G                 D    A
You understand just why you came this way

           A                 G               D
'Cause the truth you've been runnin' from is so small

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

        A              G                    D
And I'm headed all the way, my dreams are a-dyin'

       A          G                   D           G       A
And my love is an anchor tied to you, tied with a silver chain

N.C.      A         G                 D
I have my ship and all my flags are a-flyin'

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

G                 D          G      A
  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

             D   G     A
I have been around the world

D                G       A
Lookin' for that woman, girl

    D          G     A
Who knows love can endure

N.C.             A   G  D  D
And you know it will

            A    G  D  A
You know it will

      A              G            D
So we cheated and we tried and we tested

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

A             G           D
  You will survive being bested

         A                      G
Somebody strong comes along and makes me forget

   D         G      A
Forget about loving you
