[Verse 1]
N.C.
It's a good day
N.C.
For going to sea
N.C.
Hanno the Navigator said to me.
D A G D
There's an open sky and a steady breeze
D A G D
Out beyond the Pillars of Hercules.
Bm A D
Above the foam-kissed waves seagulls scream
G D D A
Up in the masts of our trireme
D A
And it's a good day
G D
For going to sea
D A G D
Hanno the Navigator said to me.

[Chorus]
D A
Wa-ter
Em Bm
Wa-ter
D G
From horizon to horizon
D A D
All I see is water

[Verse 2]
D A G D
Steer beyond all maps and charts
D A G D
Down along the coast of Africa.
D A G D
The first Phoenicians on this beach,
D A G D
Where the monkeys gibber and the parakeets screech.
Bm A D
Strangest women run wild down there,
G D D A
Covered head to toe in fur and hair.
D A
They fight like demons,
G D
Better let them be,
D A G D
Hanno the Navigator said to me.

[Chorus]
D A
Wa-ter
Em Bm
Wa-ter
D G
From horizon to horizon
D A D
All I see is water

[Bridge]
Em Bm
When you pull close to your fire at night
D A
With your family framed in the candlelight,
Em Bm
Safe inside these walls of stone
D A
In the only village you've ever known.
