A fairly good tab on here already, but it doesn't give the full intro, and there's 
a couple of errors that had been pointed out that I've corrected. Also, it was 
missing an F on the second "I'm taking a dive" section. So for completeness only, here it is:


Intro: 

C Bbm C Bbm F

G C G  

Verse:

 C 
Sailing away on the crest of a wave 
           Am 
It's like magic 
    Ab 
Oh, rolling and riding and slipping and sliding 
     Fm 
It's magic  

			
Chorus:			

    Em                     Dm 
And you, and your sweet desire, 
         Em   Dm  Em         F      G     C 
You took me,  oh, higher and higher baby, 
       Am            F 
It's a living thing, 
       Dm7       Gaug    C 
It's a terrible thing to lose 
       Am            F 
It's a giving thing 
       Dm7       Gaug    C 
What a terrible thing to lose. 
               Bbm    C   Bbm G C G

Ab
Moving in line when you look back in time
