Em C G
oh i’m sailin’ away my own true love
Em D/F# G
i’m sailin’ away in the morning
Em C G
is there something i can send you from across the sea
Em D/F# G
from the place that i’ll be landing?

Em C G
no , there’s nothin’ you can send me , my own true love
Em D/F# G
there’s nothin’ i wish to be ownin’
Em C G
just carry yourself back to me unspoiled
Em D/F# G
from across that lonesome ocean .

Em C G
oh , but i just thought you might want something fine
Em D/F# G
made of silver or of golden
Em C G
either from the mountains of madrid
Em D/F# G
or from the coast of barcelona ?

Em C G
oh , but if i had the stars from the darkest night
Em D/F# G
and the diamonds from the deepest ocean
Em C G
i’d forsake them all for your sweet kiss
Em D/F# G
for that’s all i’m wishin’ to be ownin’ .

Em C G
that i might be gone a long time
Em D/F# G
and it’s only that i’m askin’
Em C G
is there something i can send you to remember me by
Em D/F# G
to make your time more easy passin’?

Em C G
oh , how can , how can you ask me again
Em D/F# G
it only brings me sorrow
Em C G
but the same thing i would want from you today
Em D/F# G
i would want again tomorrow .

Em C G
when i got a letter on a lonesome day
Em D/F# G
it was from her ship A – sailin’
Em C G
saying i don’t know when i’ll be comin’ back again
Em D/F# G
it depends on how i’m A – feelin’ .

Em C G
well , if you , my love , must think that – A – way
Em D/F# G
i’m sure your mind is roamin’
Em C G
i’m sure your thoughts are not with me
Em D/F# G
but with the country to where you’re goin’ .

Em C G
so take heed , take heed of the western wind
Em D/F# G
take heed of the stormy weather
Em C G
and yes , there’s something you can send back to me
Em D/F# G
spanish boots of spanish leather .
