Capo 2
 
[Intro]
G   C  Cadd2   Am   Em   G/B   C
C   Em   C     G
 
[Verse 1]
            C
Well, it's not far down to paradise, at least it's not for me
            Em
And if the wind is right you can sail away and find tranquility
          C
Oh, the canvas can do miracles, just you wait and see
   G
Believe me
 
[Verse 2]
          C
It's not far to never-never land, no reason to pretend
            Em
And if the wind is right you can find the joy of innocence again
          C
Oh, the canvas can do miracles, just you wait and see
   G
Believe me
 
[Chorus]
G                                           C
Sailing takes me away to where I've always heard it could be
        Am                    Em
Just a dream and the wind to carry me
    Bm7             C/G
And soon I will be free
 
[Tag]
G
Fantasy, it gets the best of me
D/F#      Em
When I'm sailing
C
All caught up in the reverie, every word is a symphony
            G
Won't you believe me?
 
[Chorus]
G                                           C
Sailing takes me away to where I've always heard it could be
        Am                    Em
Just a dream and the wind to carry me
     Bm7            C/G
And soon I will be free
 
[Interlude]
G    Ebmaj7   F    Dbmaj7   Eb   F
Bb   Gbmaj7   Ab   Eb   F    G
 
[Verse 3]
           C
Well it's not far back to sanity, at least it's not for me
            Em
And if the wind is right you can sail away and find serenity
          C
Oh, the canvas can do miracles, just you wait and see
  G
Believe me
 
[Chorus]
G                                           C
Sailing takes me away to where I've always heard it could be
        Am                    Em
Just a dream and the wind to carry me
     Bm7            C/G
And soon I will be free

I'll listen again and see what I'm missing. I think you're referring to the extra piano notes that he throws in which if I put them into a chord chart, it would be very difficult for most "average" guitarists. But I'll check:)

I paid $24.99 & it won't auto scroll??

Any of the C's can be replaced with Cadd2. Just played it like that, and it sounds pretty nice.
