Sail Away Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]I c[A]lim[D]bed the hill,
[A]lay in the gra[G]ss
A little dark- [D]eyed girl drifted [A]past
[D]She said all the best is come,
[A]it could not last
And the [G]worst, [D]it [G]has [D]come true

[Verse 2]
Her hands are small an[A]d fluttered u[D]p[G]
I lay amongst [D]the [A]buttercups[D]
I pulled on my coat and [A]buttoned it up
For [G]the worst, it had [D]come true

[Verse 3]
[G]Sail away, [D]sail away
To a [A]place where your troubles can't [D]follow
[A]Sai[G]l away, [D]sail away
[A]Save all your tears for to[G]mor[Em]row[D]

[Verse 4]
Orphans [A]of the city
moved toward [G]us
And the swallows [D]swooped
and the starlings warned us
And the peril [A]in everything
It assured us that the [G]worst
[D]had come true

[Verse 5]
And all my sorrows [A]made their
bed beside [D]me[G]
The shame,
[D]the disgrace and[A] the brutality[D]
And she whispered then "Let
[A]laughter flee."
For the [G]worst, it has [D]come true

[Verse 6]
[G]Dry your tears,
[D]forget while we're here
[A]Leave all your sorrows be[D]hind [A]you

[Verse 7]
[G]Never lose heart, [D]all things will pass
To a [A]place where your troubles [G]can't
[Em]find you[D]

[Verse 8]
She came beside [A]me
amongst my [D]coat[G]
Her breath was warm again
[D]st my throat
We clung to each other [A]so very close
For the [G]worst, it had come true

[Verse 9]
[D]Sail away, [G]sail away
To a place where your heart will not shame
you
Take my hand through this night
[D]without end
For the worst, it has come to claim you

[Verse 10]
Sail away, sail away To [A]a
place where no one
can [D]be [A]tray [G]you
Take my [D]hand through
this night without end
For the [A]worst, it has come to [G]claim [D]you
