Standard (EADGBE)
(Verse 1)
Waiting at the water's edge, watching all the ships
As they are heading for the harbour wall;
I was just a boy, I was just a boy,
Dreaming of the wide world, dreaming of the wide world,
(Verse 2)
Watching as they disappear, reading out the names of
All the places I have never been;
Looking out to sea, looking out to sea,
Dreaming of a wide world, dreaming of a wide world,
(Chorus)
Ooh, Oooh, Ooh, Oooh, I wish I was
Sailing away, sailing away, sailing away
With you tonight, with you tonight
(Verse 3)
Walking down another street, underneath the red lights
I am watching where the shadows fall,
Looking at the girls, listening to the girls,
Dreaming of a new world, dreaming of that new world,
(Chorus)
Ooh, Oooh, Ooh, Oooh, I wish I was
Sailing away, sailing away, sailing away
In your arms tonight, in your arms tonight
(Outro)
I wish I was sailing away, sailing away
Sailing away, with you now, with you now.
