[Intro] Dm F Dm F [Verse 1]
       Dm              C        F
Oh I'm sailin' away my own true love

    Dm      C            F
I'm sailin' away in the morning.

         Dm                             C         F
Is there something I can send you from across the sea

        Dm          C       F
From the place that I'll be landing?
[Verse 2]
           Dm                           C        F
No, there's nothin' you can send me, my own true love,

        Dm      C           F
There's nothin' I wish to be ownin'.

     Dm                     C     F
Just carry yourself back to me unspoiled

      Dm          C       F
From across that lonesome ocean.
[Verse 3]
         Dm                      C              F
Oh, but I just thought you might want something fine

      Dm       C     F
Made of silver or of golden.

Dm                        C     F
Either from the mountains of Madrid

        Dm           C     F
Or from the coast of Barcelona?
[Verse 4]
          Dm                        C       F
Oh, but if I had the stars from the darkest night

        Dm                 C      F
And the diamonds from the deepest ocean,

    Dm                    C         F
I'd forsake them all for your sweet kiss

           Dm        C           F
For that's all I'm wishin' to be ownin'.
[Verse 5]
    Dm                C           F
But I might be gone a long, long time

     Dm        C       F
And it's only that I'm askin':

         Dm                             C        F
Is there something I can send you to remember me by

        Dm             C    F
To make your time more easy passin'?
[Verse 6]
        Dm               C      F
Oh, how can, how can you ask me again?

    Dm  C          F
It only brings me sorrow.

        Dm                 C             F
For the same thing I would want from you today

        Dm     C      F
I would want again tomorrow.
[Verse 7]
       Dm                C        F
When I got a letter on a lonesome day

       Dm       C      F
It was from her ship a-sailin'

        Dm                         C           F
Saying, "I don't know when I'll be comin' back again

       Dm      C      F
It depends on how I'm feelin'."
[Instrumental Verse] Dm C F [Verse 8]
         Dm                    C       F
So take heed, take heed of the western wind

       Dm     C      F
Take heed of  stormy weather

     Dm                            C            F
And yes, there's something you can send back to me

         Dm       C       F
Spanish boots of Spanish leather.
