intro : G Gsus2

G G/C C
if i had been born 200 years ago
G A D
i would have been a sailor , A – sailing i would go
G G/F# G G/F# C
i’d sail around the capes across the seven seas and then back home
G D G
if i had been born 200 years ago

G G/C C
and i would know the waters and the waters would know me
G A D
i would cut across the waves and be as happy as can be
G G/F# G G/F# C
id be landless id be loveless id be flight and fancy free
G D G
and would know the waters and the waters would know me

G G/C C
and when i think about the place and time were i was born
G A D
well i wonder if the hands of fate have slipped and placed me wrong
G G/F# G G/F# C
cos there are ships i could have sailed and sailors boots i could’ve worn
G D G
when i think about the place and time were i was born

G G/C C
but the ocean is still out there magnificent and wide
G A D
with open arms to hold me , and endless space to hide ,
G G/F# G G/F# C
and the only things that hold me back are things i hold inside
G D G
the ocean is still out there magnificent and wide

C C/G D
oh , oh , oh
G G/C C
oh , oh , oh
C C/G D
oh , oh , oh
D G
A – sailing i should go
