[VERSE]
A
I sail the ocean waters
A
My woman walks on sand
D A
Her hopes turn into empty dreams
F#m E
She tries to understand
A
I've faced the winds and the summer storms
A
And left them all behind
D A
Windship take me to her
E A
And I'll leave the sea this time
A A A A D A F#m E A A A A D A E A A

[CHORUS]
D
Oh, Windship dip beneath the waves
A
And part the ocean wide
A
Bend the mast and fill the sails
E
And catch the wind and fly
A
My woman's love waits far away
A
The east wind stirs the sea
D C#m Bm
Set the course and head for home
E A
Oh, windship sail for me
D D D A A A A E A A A A D C#mBm E A A

[VERSE]
A
I've seen the days of the ocean spray
A
And felt the waves' caress
D A
The sea has been my mistress
F#m E
But today I love her less
A
Her face came to my sleepless mind
A
And lingered there for days
D A
Windship take me to my love
E A
'Cause I've been too long away
