[Verse 1]
G    C             Am
I am sailing, I am sailing,
     F                 C
home again, 'cross the sea.
     Dm              Am
I am sailing, stormy waters,
      Dm               C      G
to be near you,  to be free.
 
 
[Verse 2]
     C            Am
I am flying, I am flying,
       F               C
like a bird 'cross the sky.
     Dm              Am
I am flying, passing high clouds,
      Dm              C      G
to be near you, to be free.
 
 
[Verse 3]
        C                Am
Can you hear me, can you hear me,
         F               C
thru the dark night, far away?
     Dm             Am
I am dying, forever trying,
      Dm                 C      G
to be with you;  who can say?
 
        C                Am
Can you hear me, can you hear me,
         F               C
thru the dark night, far away?
     Dm             Am
I am dying, forever crying,
      Dm                 C      G
to be with you;  who can say?
 
 
[Verse 4]
       C               Am
We are sailing, we are sailing,
     F                C
home again,'cross the sea.
       Dm              Am
We are sailing, stormy waters,
      Dm              C      G
to be near you, to be free.
 
 
[Outro]
G              Dm              C
Oh Lord, to be near you, to be free.
G              Dm              C
Oh Lord, to be near you, to be free.
