GI'm leaving my C/Dfamily
Gleaving all my Em7friends
Gmy body's at A7home
but my heaAmrt`s in the D7wind
where the Gclouds are like C/Dheadlines
on a Gnew frontpage Em7sky
my Gtears are salt A7water
and the moAmon`s full D7and hiGgh

And I know Martin Eden's
gonna be proud of me
many before me
has been called by the sea
To be up in the crow's nest
singing my say
Shiver me Timbers
I'm a-sailing away

CHORUS:
Now the Em7fog's lifting
and the B7sand's shifting and
I'm Gdrifting on A9out
OlGd captain Ahab
he ain't got D7sus4nothing on D7me
So come on and swaEm7llow me , don`t foB7llow me
I'm traGvelling aA9lone
Blue waGters my daughter
I'm skiD7sus4ppin' like a stD7one

So please call my missus
tell her not to cry
'cause my goodbye is written
by the moon in the sky
And nobody knows me
I can't fathom my stayin'
shiver me timbers
I'm a-sailing away

CHORUS:

I'm leaving my family
I'm leaving my friends
my body's at home
but my hearts in the wind
where the clouds are like headlines
on a new frontpage sky
shiver me timbers
I'm a-sailing ... a...way
