Come Sail Away (Styx 1977)
Written by Dennis DeYoung
Lead Vocals by Dennis DeYoung
Adapted for Folk Guitar in C and D

In C Intro -   C - Dm - Em - Dm - C - G


 C   G         Am    F                           G
 I'm sailing away,    set an open course for the virgin sea
 C    G         Am    F                              G
 I've got to be free,free to face the life that's ahead of me
 Am                          G
   On board, I'm the captain, so climb aboard
  Am                         G
   We'll search for tomorrow  on every shore
            C    G              Am   F      G  C Dm  Em  Dm  C  G
   And I'll try, oh Lord, I'll try    to ca rry on


   C   G         Am  G F                                   G
   I look to the sea,   reflections in the waves spark my memory
    C     G         Am  
   Some happy, some sad
   F                                    G
   I think of childhood friends and the dreams we had
  Am                       G
   We live happily forever, so the story goes
  Am                        G
   But somehow we missed out on that pot of gold
       C         G          Am      F    G   C Dm  Em  Dm  C  G
   But we'll try best that we can,  to ca rry on


       C          F         G
   A gathering of angels appeared above my head
         C                                 G
   They sang to me this song of hope, and this is what they said
              C                F
   They said come sail away, come sail away
         G              F
   Come sail away with me .. lad
    C              F
   Come sail away, come sail away
                       F
   Come sail away with me


 


        C                   F           G          F
   I thought that they were angels, but much to my surprise
           C                 F               G           F
   They climbed aboard their starship and headed for the skies
            C                   F
   Singing come sail away, come sail away
         G         F
   Come away with me
    C                  F
   Come sail away, come sail away
         G             F     C
   Come sail away with me
