[Verse 1]
       D       A7             D
They bought a round for the sailor

           G        A7
and they heard his tale

      Dsus D Dsus2 Dsus D   G
of a world that was so far away

       A7              D     G
and a song that we'd never heard

   A7         D     G
a song of a little bird

              A7          D
that fell in love with a whale
[Verse 2]
                      A7          D
He said, 'You cannot live in the ocean

         G       A7
and she said to him

    Dsus D Dsus2 Dsus D   G
you never can live in the sky

         A7        D          G
but the ocean is filled with tears

         A7        D      G
and the sea turns into a mirror

           A7           D              G
there's a whale in the moon when it's clear

       A7          D
and a bird on the tide
[Chorus]
  D     D7    G
Please don't cry

       E7   G    A7
let me dry your eyes
[Verse 3]
    D       A7            D
so tell me that you will wait for me

        G        A7
hold me in your arms

   Dsus D Dsus2 Dsus D   G
I promise we never will part

      A7         D           G
I'll never sail back to the time

           A7     D             G
but I'll always pretend you're mine

          A7           D         G
though I know that we both must part

         A7         D
you can live in my heart
[Chorus]
  D     D7    G
Please don't cry

       E7   G    A7
let me dry your eyes
[Verse 4]
     D       A7            D
and tell me that you will wait for me

        G        A7
hold me in your arms

   Dsus D Dsus2 Dsus D   G
I promise we never will part

      A7         D           G
I'll never sail back to the time

          A7       D                 G
but I'll always pretend that you're mine

   A7           D         G
I know that we both must part

         A7         D
you can live in my heart
