Come Sail Away
Written by Dennis DeYoung
Lead Vocals by Dennis DeYoung
Intro - C - Dm - Em - Dm - C - G
C Bm Am G F G
I'm sailing away, set an open course for the virgin sea
C Bm Am G 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 Bm Am G F G C Dm Em Dm C G
And I'll try, oh Lord, I'll try to carry on
C Bm Am G F G
I look to the sea, reflections in the waves spark my memory
C Bm Am G F
Some happy, some sad
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 Bm Am G F G C Dm Em Dm C G
But we'll try best that we can, to carry on
( Im still not sure about this part.
Looks like variations of C and G. Corrections welcome. )
C 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
They said come sail away, come sail away
G
Come sail away with me .. lad
C
Come sail away, come sail away
Ab
Come sail away with me
(This break uses Ab most of the way i think)
C G
I thought that they were angels, but to my surprise
C G
They climbed aboard their starship and headed for the skies
C
Singing come sail away, come sail away
G
Come away with me
C
Come sail away, come sail away
G Ab
Come sail away with me
This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official STYX tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
