Dm F
They stood upon the deck
C Bb
As the ship went out to sea.
F
The wind it took the sails
C Bb
And left the land a memory.
Dm F
All upon the shore for
C Bb
To wonder why the sailor goes.
F
All to close their eyes
C Bb Dm
And wonder what the sailor knows.
G F
That is you to they,
Bb G
That is how they think you are.
G F Bb
Never on the land,
G
But sailing by the north star.
