[Verse 1]
D          A         G
Got out of town on a boat goin' to Southern islands
G         A     D                  A
Sailing a reach before a followin' sea
A                      G             A
She was makin' for the trades on the outside
A                G      A
And the downhill run to Papeete


[Verse 2]
A                    F               A
Off the wind on this heading lie the Marquesas
G      A                  F         G             A
We got eighty feet of the waterline nicely making way
A                 G                 A
In a noisy bar in Avalon I tried to call you
A                         G                          A
But on a midnight watch I realized why twice you ran away


[Chorus]
A
Think about
A           D                     A
Think about how many times I have fallen
A           G                      A
Spirits are using me larger voices callin'
A                           G            D
What Heaven brought you and me cannot be forgotten
                   D           G          A
(Around the world) I have been around the world
          G                      A
(Lookin') Lookin' for that woman girl
                      A   G              A
(Who knows she knows) Who knows love can endure
A                    D G A
And you know it will


[Verse 3]
G        A                D             A
When you see the Southern Cross for the first time
A                  G                 A
You understand now why you came this way
A                    G                        A
'Cause the truth you might be runnin' from is so small
A                      G                                A
But it's as big as the promise, the promise of a comin' day


[Verse 4]
D      A           G                        D
So I'm sailing for tomorrow my dreams are a dyin'
D      A          G                                     A
And my love is an anchor tied to you tied with a silver chain
A                          G            A
I have my ship and all her flags are a' flyin'
A                      G                     A
She is all that I have left and music is her name


[Chorus]
A
Think about
A           D                     A
Think about how many times I have fallen
A           G                      A
Spirits are using me larger voices callin'
A                           G            D
What Heaven brought you and me cannot be forgotten
                   D           G          A
(Around the world) I have been around the world
          G                      A
(Lookin') Lookin' for that woman girl
                      A   G              A
(Who knows she knows) Who knows love can endure
A                    D G A
And you know it will

[Verse 5]
A                    G           A
So we cheated and we lied and we tested
A                      G                D                A
And we never failed to fail, it was the easiest thing to do
A        G             A
You will survive being bested
A                  G                                       A
Somebody fine will come along, make me forget about loving you
A                     G D D A
In the Southern Cross
