Oh, I bid farewell to the port and the land
1° 7 (136) 6 1° (61°3°) 1° 6 (62°) 3° 4° (61°3°)
And I paddle away from brave England’s white sands
6 1° (47) 6 1° (47) 6 1° (357) 7 1° (357)
To search for my long ago forgotten friends
1° 7 (136) 6 1° (61°3°) 1° 6 (42°) 3° 4° (61°3°)
To search for the place I hear all sailors end
1° (47) 6 1° (47) 6 1° (357) 6 5 (136)
As the souls of the dead fill the space of my mind
3° 3° (244°) 4° (244°) 4° 5° (24) 5° 4° (133°)
I’ll search without sleeping ’til peace I can find
1° (67) 6 1° (47) 6 1° (357) 7 1° (357)
I fear not the weather, I fear not the sea
3° (244°) 4° 4° 4° (246°) 4° (133°) 4° 3° (131°)
I remember the fallen, do they think of me?
6 1° (47) 6 1° (47) 6 1° (357) 7 1° (357)
When their bones in the ocean forever will be
6 1° (47) 6 1° (47) 6 1° (357) 6 5 (136)
Plot a course to the night to a place I once knew
1° 7 (136) 6 (136) 1° 6 (242°) 3° 4° (133°)
To a place where my hope died along with my crew
6 1° (47) 6 6 1° 4(47) 6 1° (357) 7 1° (357)
So I swallow my grief and face life’s final test
1° 7 (136) 6 1° (133°) 1° 6 (242°) 3° 4° (133°)
To find promise of peace and the solace of rest
6 1° (47) 6 1° (47) 6 1° (47) 6 1° (357) 6 5 (136)
As the songs of the dead fill the space of my ears
3° 3° (244°) 4° 4° (244°) 4° 5° (246°) 5° 4° (133°)
Their laughter like children, their beckoning cheers
7 1° (47) 6 1° (47) 6 1° (357) 7 1° (357)
My heart longs to join them, sing songs of the sea
3° (244°) 4° 4° (244°) 6° 4° (133°) 4° 3° (131°)
I remember the fallen, do they think of me?
6 1° (47) 6 1° 7 4 6 1° (357) 7 1° (357)
When their bones in the ocean forever will be
6 1° (47) 6 1° (47) 6 1° (357) 6 5 (136)
