Lyrics

[Intro]
| Dadd9 - | - - | -     Bm7 | F#m7 C#m7 |
| Dadd9 - | - - | F#m7  -   | -    -    |
| Dadd9 - | - - | Aadd9 -   | -    -    |

[Verse 1]
             Dadd9
Well, it's not    far down to paradise
At least it's not for me
             F#m7
And if the wind  is right you can sail away
And find tranquility
          Dadd9
Oh, the canvas can do miracles
Just you wait and see
     Aadd9
Believe me
           Dadd9
It's not far    to never never land
No reason to pretend
             F#m7
And if the wind  is right you can find the joy
Of innocence again
          Dadd9
Oh, the canvas can do miracles
Just you wait and see
     Aadd9
Believe me

[Chorus]
Aadd9
Sailing
                                   Dadd9
Takes me away to where I've always heard it could be
           Bm7                   F#m7
Just a dream  and the wind to carry  me
C#m7               Dadd9
Soon I will be free

[Verse 2]
Aadd9
Fantasy
It gets the best of me
         F#m7
When I'm sailing
Dadd9
All  caught up in the reverie
Every word is a symphony
               Aadd9
Won't you believe me?

[Chorus]
Aadd9
Sailing
                                   Dadd9
Takes me away to where I've always heard it could be
           Bm7                   F#m7
Just a dream  and the wind to carry  me
    C#m7               Dadd9
And soon I will be free

[Bridge]

[Verse 3]
Aadd9
     Well,
       Dadd9
it's not    far back to sanity
At least it's not for me
             F#m7
And if the wind  is right you can sail away
And find serenity
          Dadd9
Oh, the canvas can do miracles
Just you wait and see
             Aadd9
Really, believe me

[Chorus]
Aadd9
Sailing
                                   Dadd9
Takes me away to where I've always heard it could be
           Bm7                   F#m7
Just a dream  and the wind to carry  me
    C#m7                Dadd9
And soon I will be free .
