Chords

        G
He said part of me

         C       G
Has been lost at sea

Am              D
Never to return again

         G
With her eyes wide open

        C      G
She was softly spoken

           Am                               D
She said: "babe, are you missing the breeze again?"

            G
You look so fine, sailor

     C           G
Your shoes still shine

Am                                D
After years of a house that don't sway

              G
But she could see in his eyes

            C          G
that ship's flag still flies

        Am           D
And his home was a ocean away
[chorus]
    G
He sang, freedom was mine

    C        G
For one last time

           Am                  D
When I was sailing along those waves

           G
But now my plate don't slide

       C         G
And my rum's now wine

           Am    D      G
And I will never be the same

             G
I don't hear birds no more

            C             G
But there's swallows on my hands

          Am                           D
I earnt a star that wasn't plucked from above

         G
I have memories of friends

      C                G
Who left this earth as young men

                Am         D          G
Yet my hairs as white as my hat once, was

          G
He sang, freedom was mine

    C        G
For one last time

           Am                  D
When I was sailing along those waves

           G
But now my plate don't slide

       C         G
And my rum's now wine

           Am    D      G
And I will never be the same

                      G
I hear a blast in the background

         C         G
Feel the wind whip my face

         Am                D
Towing a sister ship that didn't make it home

            G
Colours, fade away from me

    C       Am
As I awake, my wife said

     Am       D         G
"I'm sleeping next to my own"

      G
He sang, freedom was mine

    C        G
For one last time

           Am                  D
When I was sailing along those waves

           G
But now my plate don't slide

       C         G
And my rum's now wine

           Am    D      G
And I will never be the same
