Jimmy Buffett - Southern cross

Got out of ^Atown on a ^Gboat for the southern is^Dlands Sailing a ^Areach be ^Gfore a followin' ^Dsea ^A She was makin' for the ^Gtrades on the ^Doutside And the ^Adownhill ^Grun to Papee^Dte ^A On this heading off the ^Gwind lies the Marq^Duesas We got ^Aeighty feet of the ^Gwaterline, ^Dnicely ^Bmmaking ^Away In a noisy bar in ^GAvalon I tried to ^Dcall you But on a ^Amidnight watch I ^Grealized why ^Dtwice you ^Bmran a^Away

^GThink about how ^Dmany times ^GI have ^Afallen ^GSpirits are ^Dusing me, ^Glarger voices ^Acallin' ^GWhat heaven ^Dbrought you and me ^Gcannot be forgot^Aten

I have been a^Dround ^Gthe ^Aworld ^DLookin' for that ^Gwoman, ^Agirl Who ^Dknows ^Glove can en^Adure And you know it ^Gwill. ^DAnd you know it ^Awill

When you ^Asee the Southern ^GCross for the ^Dfirst time You ^Aunderstand now why you ^Gcame this ^Dway ^A 'Cause the truth you might be ^Grunnin' from is so ^Dsmall But it's as ^Abig as the pr^Gomise, the promise of a coming ^Dday ^A So I'm sailing for to^Gmorrow, my dreams are a ^Ddyin' And my ^Alove is an anchor tied to ^Gyou, ^Dtied with a ^Bmsilver ^Achain I have my ^Gship and all her flags are a ^Dflyin' She is ^Aall that I have ^Gleft and ^Dmusic ^Bmis her^A name

^GThink about how ^Dmany times ^GI have ^Afallen ^GSpirits are ^Dusing me, ^Glarger voices ^Acallin' ^GWhat heaven ^Dbrought you and me ^Gcannot be forgot^Aten

I have been a^Dround ^Gthe ^Aworld ^DLookin' for that ^Gwoman, ^Agirl Who ^Dknows ^Glove can en^Adure And you know it ^Gwill. ^DAnd you know it ^Awill

So we cheated and we ^Gtried and we ^Dtested And we ^Anever failed to ^Gfail, it was the ^Deasiest thing to ^Ado You will sur^Gvive being ^Dbested But somebody ^Astrong comes along and ^Gmake me forget For^Dget about ^Bloving ^Ayou At the Southern Cross ^{G D A G D}
