verse :
G [ ch ] Bm7/G [ /Ch ] D/F# D6 G C/G G
oh i’m sailin’ away my own true love
Em D6 [ ch ] D6/C [ /Ch ] G C/G G
i’m sailin’ away in the morning
Em D6 [ ch ] D6/C [ /Ch ] G C/G G
is there something i can send you from across the sea
Bm7 D/F# D6 G C/G G
from the place that i’ll be landing?

verse :
no , there’s nothin’ you can send me , my own true love
there’s nothin’ i wish to be ownin’
just carry yourself back to me unspoiled
from across that lonesome ocean .

verse :
oh , but i just thought you might want something fine
made of silver or of golden
either from the mountains of madrid
or from the coast of barcelona ?

verse :
oh , but if i had the stars from the darkest night
and the diamonds from the deepest ocean
i’d forsake them all for your sweet kiss
for that’s all i’m wishin’ to be ownin’ .

break :
Em C9 G C/G G

verse :
that i might be gone a long time
and it’s only that i’m askin’
is there something i can send you to remember me by
to make your time more easy passin’?

verse :
oh , how can , how can you ask me again
it only brings me sorrow
but the same thing i would want from you today
i would want again tomorrow .

break ii :
Em C * G C/G G x2

verse :
when i got a letter on a lonesome day
it was from her ship A – sailin’
saying i don’t know when i’ll be comin’ back again
it depends on how i’m A – feelin’ .

verse :
well , if you , my love , must think that – A – way
i’m sure your mind is roamin’
i’m sure your heart is not with me
but with the country to where you’re goin’ .

verse :
so take heed , take heed of the western wind
take heed of the stormy weather
and yes , there’s something you can send back to me
spanish boots of spanish leather .
