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

Gothard Sisters: Found a Classy Celtic Dance Fiddle Act

I saw the flyer for Gothard Sisters. My family played there but these girls look like they are amazing Celtic style talent. Wow, the usual amazing Asian classical kids have nothing on these gals.
