(Intro) Cm  Abmaj7   Cm   Abmaj7
(Verse 1)
Cm
Waiting at the water's edge, watching all the ships
   Bb/D     Eb              Ab      Bb
As they are heading for the harbour wall;
      Cm         Abmaj7     Cm          Abmaj7
I was just a boy,     I was just a boy,
                Cm         Abmaj7                 Cm         Abmaj7
Dreaming of the wide world,       dreaming of the wide world,
(Verse 2)
Cm
Watching as they disappear, reading out the names of
Bb/D    Eb            Ab    Bb
All the places I have never been;
        Cm         Abmaj7        Cm          Abmaj7
Looking out to sea,      looking out to sea,
              Cm         Abmaj7              Cm         Abmaj7
Dreaming of a wide world,      dreaming of a wide world,
(Chorus)
  Fm        Cm      Fm       Bb
Ooh,     Oooh,    Ooh,    Oooh, I wish I was
Eb      Ab    Eb       Ab   Eb       Ab  Bb
Sailing away, sailing away, sailing away
     Cm           Abmaj7    Cm
With you tonight,      with you tonight
(Verse 3)
Cm
Walking down another street, underneath the red lights
Bb/D Eb                 Ab      Bb
I am watching where the shadows fall,
        Cm         Abmaj7          Cm          Abmaj7
Looking at the girls,    listening to the girls,
              Cm         Abmaj7               Cm         Abmaj7
Dreaming of a new world,     dreaming of that new world,
(Chorus)
Fm        Cm      Fm       Bb
Ooh,     Oooh,    Ooh,    Oooh, I wish I was
Eb      Ab    Eb       Ab   Eb       Ab  Bb
Sailing away, sailing away, sailing away
        Cm           Abmaj7        Cm           Abmaj7
In your arms tonight,      in your arms tonight
(Outro)
             Eb       Ab   Eb       Ab
I wish I was sailing away, sailing away
Eb       Ab  Bb    Cm      Abmaj7     Cm
Sailing away, with you now,      with you now.
