Am7                           D
In a little town called Gal-i-lee
Am7                            D
there lived a man like you and me
Am7                               
He drank himself to sleep at night 
D
 couldn't get one thing right
Am7                Dsus4 D Dsus2 D
Sat staring at the sea

F                                 C
dreamed of somewhere over the hor-i-zon
F                          C
where he watched the sun a-risin'

Fm                 Dm
Gonna have his own ship one day
G7                   C
Then he's gonna sail away

In a larger town called Cardiff
there lived a man who worked on skiffs
He worked himself to death all day 
 couldn't ever get away
Never even set adrift

dreamed of somewhere over the horizon
where he watched the sun a-risin'
Gonna have his own ship one day
Then he's gonna sail away

In a larger town called Baltimore
there lived a girl who was raised poor
She sold herself to bed at night
 slept under a bright red light
always wanting something more

dreamed of somewhere over the horizon
where she watched the sun a-risin'
Gonna have her own ship one day
Then she's gonna sail away
