G D Em C G D G
[Verse 1]
G D Em G C G
December morning when the ship came sailing in
C G C D
The sailor boys with all their noise had come around again
Em G C G
She stood on the quayside, she was looking for a friend
C G
He had caught her eye and now she'll try
C D C G
To make him come her way (come her way)
[Chorus]
G D C D G D C D
So long, goodbye, nice to know you baby but it's time to fly
G D C D G C D G
He laughed as she cried and watched her dreams sail a-way
[Verse 2]
G D Em G C G
Had one just like her on a far off Eastern shore
C G C D
And every town that he sailed round was like the one before
Em G C G
And though he said he loved her, his words were like his heart
C G C D
They were empty as a summer stream that dries up oh so hard
C G
(oh so hard)
[Chorus]
G D C D G D C D
So long, goodbye, nice to know you baby but it's time to fly

He laughed as she cried and watched her dreams sail a-way

Sail a-way, sail away

Oh sail away again, away again

Every day somebody sails away
[Verse 3]
G D Em G C G
Cried when he left her, but she never knew his name
C G C D
Just a night of love to pass like ships and never meet again
Em G C G
She can't hold the tears, but she knows that one day
C G C D C D Em G D
He will come around (come around again)
[Chorus]

So long, goodbye, nice to know you baby but it's time to fly

2 minor correction (to my untrained ears !!)
The run down at the start of each verse sounds better if a "G-F#-Em" with the G and the F# as single notes on the low E string
I also *think* that the first C in each verse (e.g. when the word "ship" is sung in verse one) should be a D.
