  			F#       E/G#          A 
One last gaze upon the sun    
B7                   E7 
Bid farewell to everyone   
F#          E/G#           A  
Kicked that bucket out the door   
C#                     D 
Where I'm goin I won't need it anymore 

Bm           F#      E7   Bm              F#    E7 
Gonna lay my burden down, take a birdseye look around 
B7                         F#    E7 
From the tall pines of Carolina, all the way to the Wall of China 

 
A                                                           F#     E7 
So I go sailing round the room, through my window cross the silver moon 
F#                   D/A      F#                  D 
No flesh and bone to hold me, I'll finally set my soul free 
E7                          A 
When I go sailing round the room 

B7     A  E7 
I will be in the smoke from Mauna Loa, morning mist on the Shenandoah 
B7     A  E7 
I will be grain of sand in the Kalahari, magnolia by the Mississippi 
B7     A  E7 
I will be bird song when the day is breaking, words of love when your heart is aching 
B7     A  E7 
I will be blue bonnet by the highway, I'll be everywhere and always
