SAILING

Christopher Cross

 

INTRO: (STRINGS: Bm7 F#m7 C#m7) Dmaj7(sus2) F#m7(sus4) Dmaj7(sus2) Amaj7sus2

 

 

Dmaj7               

It's not far down to paradise at least it's not for me

                  F#m7

And if the wind is right you can sail away and find tranquility
           Dmaj7                                                              Amaj7sus2 Amaj7  
Oh the canvas can do miracles just you wait and see believe me

 

Dmaj7 

It's not far to never never land no reason to pretend

                  F#m7

And if the wind is right you can find the joy of innocence again

           Dmaj7                                                              Amaj7sus2 Amaj7  

Oh the canvas can do miracles just you wait and see believe me

 

CHORUS:

A Amaj7              A Amaj7                           Dmaj7

Sailing takes me away to where I've always heard it could be

           Bm7                            F#m7           C#m7           Dmaj7sus2 Dmaj7sus2/E

Just a dream and the wind to carry me and soon I will be free

 

 

Dmaj7               

Fantasy, it gets the best of me

                  F#m7

When I'm sailing all caught up in the reverie

           Dmaj7                                      Amaj7sus2 Amaj7  

Every word is a symphony won't you believe me

 

 

REPEAT CHORUS

 

Lead

Dmaj7               

It's not far back to sanity at least it's not for me

                  F#m7

And when the wind is right you can sail away and find serenity

           Dmaj7                                                        Amaj7sus2 Amaj7  

the canvas can do miracles just you wait and see believe me

 

 

REPEAT CHORUS
