Verse
———————
D A7 D
They bought a round for the sailor
G A7
and they heard his tale
Dsus—D—Dsus2—Dsus—D G
of a world that was so far away
A7 D G
and a song that we'd never heard
A7 D G
a song of a little bird
A7 D
that fell in love with a whale
Verse
—————
A7 D
He said, 'You cannot live in the ocean
G A7
and she said to him
Dsus—D—Dsus2—Dsus—D G
you never can live in the sky
A7 D G
but the ocean is filled with tears
A7 D G
and the sea turns into a mirror
A7 D G
there's a whale in the moon when it's clear
A7 D
and a bird on the tide
chorus
——————
D D7 G
Please don't cry
E7 G A7
let me dry your eyes
Verse
—————
D A7 D
so tell me that you will wait for me
G A7
hold me in your arms
Dsus—D—Dsus2—Dsus—D G
I promise we never will part
A7 D G
I'll never sail back to the time
A7 D G
but I'll always pretend you're mine
A7 D G
though I know that we both must part
A7 D
you can live in my heart
