 Verse
-------

       C       G7             C
They bought a round for the sailor

           F        G7
and they heard his tale

      Csus-C-Csus2-Csus-C   F
of a world that was so far away

       G7              C     F
and a song that we'd never heard

   G7         C     F
a song of a little bird

              G7          C
that fell in love with a whale

Verse
-----
                      G7          C
He said, 'You cannot live in the ocean

         F       G7
and she said to him

    Csus-C-Csus2-Csus-C   F
you never can live in the sky

         G7        C          F
but the ocean is filled with tears

         G7        C      F
and the sea turns into a mirror

           G7           C              F
there's a whale in the moon when it's clear
       G7          C
and a bird on the tide

chorus
------
  C     C7    F
Please don't cry

       D7   F    G7
let me dry your eyes

Verse
-----
    C       G7            C
so tell me that you will wait for me

        F        G7
hold me in your arms

   Csus-C-Csus2-Csus-C   F
I promise we never will part

      G7         C           F
I'll never sail back to the time

           G7     C             F
but I'll always pretend you're mine

          G7           C         F
though I know that we both must part

         G7         C
you can live in my heart

chorus
------
  C     C7    F
Please don't cry

       D7   F    G7
let me dry your eyes

Verse
-----
     C       G7            C
and tell me that you will wait for me

        F        G7
hold me in your arms

   Csus-C-Csus2-Csus-C   F
I promise we never will part

      G7         C           F
I'll never sail back to the time

          G7       C                 F
but I'll always pretend that you're mine

   G7           C         F
I know that we both must part

         G7         C
you can live in my heart
