Southern Cross
By Todd
(Intro) A G Dsus4 D Dsus2 D A G Dsus4 D Dsus2 A
A G Dsus4 D Dsus2 D
Got out of town on a boat goin' to Southern islands
A G Dsus4 D Dsus2 A
Sailing a reach before a followin' sea
A G Dsus4 D Dsus2 D
She was makin' for the trades on the outside
A G Dsus4 D Dsus2 A
And the downhill run to Papeete bay
A G Dsus4 D Dsus2 D
Off the wind on this heading lie the Marquesas
A G D G A
We got eighty feet of the waterline nicely making way
A G Dsus4 D Dsus2 D
In a noisy bar in Avalon I tried to call you
A G D G A
But on a midnight watch I realized why twice you ran away
(Chorus)
A G D G A
Think about, think about how many times I have fallen
G D G A
Spirits are using me larger voices callin'
G D G A
What Heaven brought you and me cannot be forgotten
A D G A
Been around the world (I have been arou...nd the world)
D G A
Lookin' (Lookin' for that woman girl)
A D G A //// (hold)
Who knows she knows (Who knows love can endure)
A G Dsus4 D Dsus2 D A G Dsus4 D Dsus2 A
And you know it will
A G Dsus4 D Dsus2 D
When you see the Southern Cross for the first time
A G Dsus4 D Dsus2 A
You understand now why you came this way
A G Dsus4 D Dsus2 D
Cause the truth you might be runnin' from is so small
A G D G A ////(hold)
But it's as big as the promise, the promise of a comin' day
A G Dsus4 D Dsus2 D
So I'm sailing for tomorrow my dreams are a dyin'
A G D G A
And my love is an anchor tied to you tied with a silver chain
A G Dsus4 D Dsus2 D
I have my ship and all her flags are a' flyin'
A G D G A
She is all that I have left and music is her name
(Chorus)
A G D G A
Think about, think about how many times I have fallen
G D G A
Spirits are using me larger voices callin'
G D G A
What Heaven brought you and me cannot be forgotten
A D G A
I have been around the world (I have been arou...nd the world)
D G A
Lookin' (Lookin' for that woman girl)
D G A ////(hold)
(Who knows love can endure)
A G Dsus4 D Dsus2 D
And you know it will
A G Dsus4 D Dsus2 A
And you know it will
(Interlude) A G Dsus4 D Dsus2 D A G Dsus4 D Dsus2 A (2x)
A G Dsus4 D Dsus2 D
So we cheated and we lied and we tested
A G D G A
And we never failed to fail it was the easiest thing to do
A G Dsus4 D Dsus2 D
You will survive being bested
A G D G A
Somebody fine will come along make me forget about loving you
A G Dsus4 D Dsus2 D A G Dsus4 D Dsus2 A (hold)
And the Southern Cross
