Simplify chords 

  			Gb 	Cb/Db 
I'm leaving my family 
Gb 	Ebm7 
leaving all my friends 
Gb 	Ab7 
my body's at home 
	Abm9/Gb 	Db7 
but my hearts in the wind 
	Gb 	Cb/Db 
where the clouds are like headlines 
	Gb 	Ebm7 
on a new frontpage sky 
	Gb	Ab7 
my tears are salt water 
	Abm9/Gb 	Db7 	Gb 
that comes to my eyes 
 
 
And I know Martin Eden's 
gonna be proud of me 
many before me 
has been drawn by the sea 
To be up in the crow's nest  
singing my say 
Shiver me Timbers 
as I'm sailing away 
 
	Ebm7 
Now the fog's lifting  
	D7/Bb  
and the sand's shifting 
	Gb/Cb 	Ab9 
I'm drifting on out 
 
Old captain Ahab 
	Db7sus4 	Db7 
 he ain't got nothing on me 
 
repeat chords as above 
 
So swallow me , follow me 
I'm travelling alone 
Blue waters my daughter 
I'm gonna skip like a stone 
 
so please call my misses 
tell her not to cry 
'cause my goodbye is written 
by the moon in the sky 
Nobody knows me 
I can't fathom my stayin' 
shiver me timbers 
as I'm sailing away 
 
 
Now the fogs liftin'...... 
 
 
I'm leaving my family 
leaving all my friends 
my body's at home  
but my hearts with the wind 
where the clouds are like headlines 
on a new frontpage sky 
shiver me timbers 
as I'm sailing  goodbye...........
