They stood upon the [Am]deck[C]
As the [G]ship went out to [Am]sea
The [Am]wind it took the [C]sails
And [G]left the land a [Am]memory
All [Am]upon the s[C]hore for
To [G]wonder why the sailor [Am]goes
All to [Am]close their [C]eyes
And [G]wonder what the sailor [Am]knows
That [Am]is you to [C]they
That is [G]how they think you [Am]are
Ne[Am]ver on the [C]land
But [G]sailing by the north [Am]star
That [Am]is you to [C]they
That is [G]how they think you [Am]are
Ne[Am]ver on the [C]land
But [G]sailing by the north [Am]star
To the [Am]tower and to the [C]ravens and
The [G]tale that hopes they'll never [Am]leave
What [Am]if they should [C]go?
We [G]always dread to think of t[Am]hem
I [Am]wonder if they flew one [C]day
And [G]no one ever knew they'd [Am]gone
To [Am]circle over ships at [C]sea
Claim[G]ing yet another [Am]son
That i[Am]s you to [C]me
That [G]is where I think you [Am]are
Ne[Am]ver on the [C]land
But [G]gone to find the north [Am]star
As the [G]ship went out to [Am]sea
The [Am]wind it took the [C]sails
And [G]left the land a [Am]memory
