[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
[Instrumental Break--Guitar]

[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
