Written by Bob Dylan (1964) As performed by Nanci Griffith [Intro] E7 A D E7 A Asus4 A [Verse 1]
       F#m              D        A    Asus4 A
Oh I'm sailing away, my own true love

    F#m      E7          A       Asus4 A
I'm sailing away, in the morning

         F#m                            D         A    Asus4 A
Is there something I-can-send-you from across the sea?

         F#m          E7      A        D E7 A Asus4 A
From the place where, I'll be landing?
[Verse 2]
        F#m                          D        A    Asus4 A
There's nothing, you can send me, my own true love

        F#m          E7             A      Asus4 A
There's nothing, I'm wishing, to be owning

     F#m                     D    A       Asus4 A
Just carry yourself, back to me unspoiled

      F#m         E7       A     D E7 A Asus4 A
From across that, lonesome ocean
[Verse 3]
       F#m                       D              A    Asus4 A
Oh but I just thought, you might want something fine

      F#m     E7     A      Asus4 A
Maybe silver, or, of golden

F#m                        D    A    Asus4 A
Either from the mountains, of Madrid

            F#m       E7   A    D E7 A Asus4 A
Or from the coast of, Barcelona
[Verse 4]
   F#m                     D       A     Asus4 A
If I had the stars, of the darkest night

        F#m               E7       A     Asus4 A
And the diamonds from the deep-est ocean

F#m                       D          A    Asus4 A
I'd forsake them all, for your sweet kiss

       F#m    E7         A      D E7 A Asus4 A
That's all I, wish to be owning
[Verse 5]
     F#m              D        A    Asus4 A
Oh I might be gone, a long ol' time

         F#m  E7        A      Asus4 A
And it's only that, I'm asking

         F#m                            D         A   Asus4 A
Is there something I can send you, to remember me by?

             F#m        E7   A        D E7 A Asus4 A
To make your time more, easy passing?
[Verse 6]
    F#m               D       A    Asus4 A
How-can, how-can, you ask me again?

        F#m   E7         A      Asus4 A
Well it on-ly brings, me sorrow

       F#m                 D       A   Asus4 A
Oh the same thing I, would want, today

        F#m    E7     A      D E7 A Asus4 A
I would want a-gain tomorrow
[Interlude] E7 A D E7 A Asus4 A [Verse 7]
    F#m                  D        A   Asus4 A
Oh, I got a letter, on a lonesome day

       F#m      E7      A       Asus4 A
It-was-from his ship, a-sailing

       F#m                        D            A   Asus4 A
Saying I don't know when, I'll be coming back again

     F#m      E7       A       D E7 A Asus4 A
It depends on how, I'm feeling
[Verse 8]
   F#m               D            A   Asus4 A
If you my love, must think that a-way

    F#m       E7         A       Asus4 A
I'm sure your mind is, a-roaming

    F#m                     D        A  Asus4 A
I'm sure your thoughts, are not with me

             F#m      E7            A     D E7 A Asus4 A
But with the country, where, you're going
[Verse 9]
        F#m                     D       A    Asus4 A
So take heed, take heed, of the western wind

     F#m      E7     A       Asus4 A
Take heed of, stormy weather

    F#m                              D            A  Asus4 A
And yes, there is something, you can send back to me

        F#m      E7      A       D E7 A Asus4 A
