Far, so far away, surely you remember
C G
log book pages frayed
Am G
that fanned the flames of long ago -
C G
guttered in the grate:
Am
shadows in the embers...

look away, look for home.
Voices ...

...sail away, sail for home,
G C G C
look away, look for home.
C Em C Em C Em
Land-locked lovers, landlub friends, in procession:
C F G C
all rites of passage have an end,
C C
look away, sail away,
C F C(no 5th) C
sail your tall ship home.
We are...
...look for home.
Look away in the Roaring Forties...
(musically i haven't worked out this passage. I think it might just be

C Em C Em
Land-locked lovers, littoral friends,
C Em C Em
the succession never ends...
C Em C Em
the spirit's willing to carry on;
C F G C
all rites of passage make us strong.

Sail away,

sail away,
C F C(no 5th) C
Sail your tall ship home.
