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


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


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