Blue Boat Home
Peter Mayer
C C F G
Though below me I feel no motion
C Am7 G C
Standing on these mountains and plains
C C F G
Far away from the rolling ocean
C Am7 G C
Still my dry land heart can say
Em Am7 Dm7 G7
I've been sailing all my life now
Em FM7 Dm7 G7
Never harbor nor port have I known
C 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 Am7 G C
As I ply the starry sea
C C F G
Leaning over the edge in wonder
C Am7 G C
Casting questions into the deep
Em Am7 Dm7 G7
Drifting here with my ship's companions
Em FM7 Dm7 G7
All we kindred pilgrim souls
C 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 Am7 G C
Hail the great winds urging me on
C C F G
Greet the infinite sea before me
C Am7 G C
Sing the sky my sailor's song
Em Am7 Dm7 G7
I was born upon the fathoms
Em FM7 Dm7 G7
Never harbor or port have I known
C F C G
The wide universe is the ocean I travel
C F C G C
And the Earth is my blue boat home
