Blue Boat Home

C C F G
Though below me I feel no motion
C Am G C
Standing on these mountains and plains
C C F G
Far away from the rolling ocean
C Am G C
Still my dry land heart can say
Em Em Dm G
I've been sailing all my life now
C Am C G
Never harbor nor port have I known
G F C G
The wide universe is the ocean I travel
C F C G C
And the Earth is my blue boat home


C C F G
Sun, my sail and moon, my rudder
C Am G C
As I ply the starry sea
C C F G
Leaning over the edge in wonder
C Am G C
Casting questions into the deep
Em Em Dm G
Drifting here with my ship's companions
C Am C G
All we kindred pilgrim souls
G F C G
Making our way by the lights of the heavens
C F C G C
In our beautiful blue boat home


C C F G
I give thanks to the waves upholding me
C Am G C
Hail the great winds urging me on
C C F G
Greet the infinite sea before me
C Am G C
Sing the sky my sailor's song
Em Em Dm G
I was born upon the fathoms
C Am C G
Never harbor or port have I known
G F C G
The wide universe is the ocean I travel
C F C G C
And the Earth is my blue boat home
