[Intro] -    -  -  -  -  - 

           
    I'm sailin

          
g away,    set

              
 an open cours

           
e for the virg

in sea
           
    I've got t

           
o be free,    

             
free to face t

              
he life that's

   
 ahead of me
            
    On board, 

              
I'm the captai

   
n, so climb ab

oard
            
    We'll sear

              
ch for tomorro

      
w on every sho

re
             
    And I'll t

            
ry, oh Lord, I

          
'll try    to 

                  
carry on

           
    I look to 

          
the sea,   ref

              
lections in th

              
e waves spark 

     
my memory
           
    Some happy

            
, some sad
              
    I think of

              
 childhood fri

              
ends and the d

 
reams we had
            
    We live ha

              
ppily forever,


 so the story 

goes
            
    But someho

              
w we missed ou

 
t on that pot 

of gold
             
    But we'll 

            
try best that 

          
we can,  to ca

               
rry on

         (Im still not sure about this part.
          Looks like variations of C and G. Corrections welcome.)

             
    A gatherin

              
g of angels ap


peared above m

y head
             
    They sang 

              
to me this son

              
g of hope, and

  
 this is what 

they said
              
    They said 

 
come sail away

, come sail aw

ay
          
    Come sail 

away with me .

. lad
     
    Come sail 

away, come sai

l away
              
    Come sail 

          
away with me

     (This break uses Ab most of the way i think)

             
    I thought 

              
that they were

          
 angels, but t

o my surprise
             
    They climb

              
ed aboard thei

              
r starship and

   
 headed for th

e skies
             
    Singing co

me sail away, 

come sail away
          
    Come away 

with me
     
    Come sail
