Standard (EADGBE)
Lady love, go back to sleep, Dry the tears from your eyes,
But I cannot stay with thee Until the morning,
For the dawn is breaking, And my ship is waiting for me,
And I must go, But I'll be back, yes, Before this year is over;
So we sailed across the sea, Till we found America,
'Round the Cape of Storms We set our sails for home,
And when the sea was roaring And the Lord I called
To help my drowning men,I saw the light, yes, the candle in your window
And I have brought you silver, And I have brought you gold,
And spices from the Indies in the hold;
I've seen ships on the horizon, That I'd swear were going down,
But now I know for certain,
The world is round, I have seen, my eyes have seen.
One day says Galileo, A man will reach the sky,
And see the world completely, From outside,
And gazing down from yonder, On a world of blue and green,
He'll say with eyes of wonder,
I have seen, I have seen, My eyes have seen.
I have seen, My eyes have seen.
