[Verse]
Esus2 Amaj7
Big ship a-sailing out from the harbour
Esus2 Amaj7
Once you are going, there's no return
Esus2 Amaj7
You carry my heart, you carry my loved one
Esus2 Amaj7
Like a bird of prey away from me

[Chorus]
G#m Amaj7
There's a million miles of water
G#m Amaj7
Bright a-burning desert sands
G#m Amaj7
Across the Rocky Mountains
G#m Amaj7
So vast I cannot speak
Esus2 Amaj7
Whoa, I wanna cry, what can I say?

[Verse]
Esus2 Amaj7
Upon the quayside I stand in silence
Esus2 Amaj7
And I watch the wake you leave behind
Esus2 Amaj7
And all along the busy docklands
Esus2 Amaj7
The seagulls cry their lonesome sound

[Chorus]
G#m Amaj7
There's a million miles of water
G#m Amaj7
Bright burning desert sands
G#m Amaj7
There's a million hearts a-beating
G#m Amaj7
In the strange and distant land
G#m Amaj7
Across the Rocky Mountains
G#m Amaj7
So vast I cannot speak
Esus2 Amaj7
Whoa, I wanna cry, what can I say?

[Verse]
Esus2 Amaj7
Big ship a-sailing out from the harbour
Esus2 Amaj7
Once you are going, there's no return
Esus2 Amaj7
You carry my heart, you carry my loved one
Esus2 Amaj7
Like a bird of prey away from me

[Chorus]
G#m Amaj7
Just a million miles of water
G#m Amaj7
Bright burning desert sands
G#m Amaj7
Across the rocky mountains
G#m Amaj7
So vast I cannot speak
Esus2 Amaj7
Whoa, I wanna cry, what can I say?
