Styx 1977 (The Grand Illusion) * https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Come_Sail_Away C Dm Em Dm C G

C   Em       Am   Am \ G \ F
I'm sailing away,

                           G
set an open course for the virgin sea

       C    Em        Am   Am \ G \ F
'Cause I've got to be free,

                              G
free to face the life that's ahead of me

Am                        G
 On board I'm the captain,  so climb aboard

Am                         G
 We'll search for tomorrow,  on every shore

         C    G             Am   Am \ G \ F
And I'll try, oh Lord, I'll try,

   G     C
to carry on

C Dm Em Dm C G

C Em          Am   Am \ G \ F
I look to the sea,

                                  G
reflections in the waves spark my memory

C    Em          Am   Am \ G \ F
Some happy, some sad,

                                      G
I think of childhood friends, and the dreams we had

Am                        G
 We lived happily forever,  so the story goes

Am                         G
 But somehow we missed out,  on the pot of gold

          C    G            Am   Am \ G \ F
But we'll try, best that we can,

   G     C
to carry on

  C            F
A gathering of angels,

 G                F
appeared above my head

     C               F
They sang to me this song of hope,

    G                 F
and this is what they said, they said

C               F
Come sail away, come sail away,

     C              F
come sail away with me, lads

C               F
Come sail away, come sail away,

     C              F
come sail away with me

C               F
Come sail away, come sail away,

     C              F
come sail away with me, lads

C               F
Come sail away, come sail away,

     C              F
come sail away with me

  C                      F
I thought that they were angels,

    G             F
but much to my surprise;

   C                    F
we climbed aboard their starship,

    G              F
and headed for the skies

C               F
Come sail away, come sail away,

     C              F
come sail away with me, lads

C               F
Come sail away, come sail away,

     C              F   C  F  G  F
come sail away with me  5x
