Outward bound

G

1. Outward bound, upon a ship that sails no ocean,

D D7 G

outward bound, it has no crew but me and you.

All alone when just a minute ago the shore,

D D7 G

was filled with people, with people that we knew.

G

2. Outward bound upon a journey without ending,

D D7 G

outward bound, uncharted waters beneath our bow.

Far behind, the green familiar shore is fading,

D D7 G

into time, and time has left us now.

D G

So farewell, adieu, so long, vaya con Dios,

D D7 G

may they find whatever they are lookin for.

G7 G

Remember when the wine was better than ever again,

D D7 G

we could not ask, we could not ask for more.

G

3. Outward bound, upon a ship with tattered sail,

D D7 G

outward bound along a crooked, lonesome trail.

Things we learn, we'll just be satisfied in knowing,

D D7 G

and we'll tell it to our kids as a fairy tale

D D7 G

+ CHORUS (2x) + We could not ask, we could not ask for more.
