[Verse 1]

  Am               D
I might be at a table
    G             Bm
And suddenly I'll catch
  C               D                G
A fleeting vision of her crystal seas
     Am                D            G            Bm
Or I might be standing in a crowded dockyard faraway
C              D              G
Underneath the sun I've never seen


[Chorus]

            C         G
'Cos I have seen many worlds
              Am
For what it's worth
         C          G               Am        F
But I'll never see again the planet earth, my earth


[Verse 2]

  Am               D
I might be chasing waves of light
G               Bm
Out towards the rim
      C
Where stars are sparse
        D                   G
And the cold of space seeps in
     Am              D
Or I might be in a bar room
         G          Bm
Drinking methylated gin
    C               D             G
And thinking of the places I have been


[Chorus]

            C         G
Yes, I have seen many worlds
              Am
For what it's worth
         C          G               Am        F
But I'll never see again the planet earth, my earth


[Solo]

| Am D | G Bm | C D | G | x2


[Chorus]

       C         G
I have seen many worlds
              Am
For what it's worth
         C          G               Am        F
But I'll never see again the planet earth, my earth


[Verse 3]

Am           D
Cast adrift amongst the stars
  G                 Bm
I float from sun to sun
C               D                  G
Dreaming of the world that gave me birth
Am             D
All the places I have been
  G                Bm
Remind me there is none
   C                    D                G
To match the cool green rolling hills of earth


[Chorus]

            C         G
'Cos I have seen many worlds
              Am
For what it's worth
         C          G               Am        F
But I'll never see again the planet earth, my earth
