[Intro - free time]
A   D  Dadd2   - Bm   F#m7   D/A(x00234)   D(x0235)

[Then arp section - A riff with high B open, then B 0 to 2 - snare is light muted downstroke on strings]
 
[Verse 1]
            A(droning riff) 
Well, it's not far down to paradise, at least it's not for me
            F#m(24x422 to 244222 - mute D string in first chord with surrounding fingers)
And if the wind is right you can sail away and find tranquility
          D(xx0200 to xx0220)
Oh, the canvas can do miracles, just you wait and see

[Verse 2]
          D
It's not far to never-never land, no reason to pretend
            F#m
And if the wind is right you can find the joy of innocence again
          D
Oh, the canvas can do miracles, just you wait and see
   A
Believe me
 
[Chorus]
A                                           D
Sailing takes me away to where I've always heard it could be
        Bm                    F#m
Just a dream and the wind to carry me
     E              D/A
And soon I will be free
 
[Tag]
A
Fantasy, it gets the best of me
E/G#     F#m
When I'm sailing
D
All caught up in the reverie, every word is a symphony
            A
Won't you believe me?
 
[Chorus]
A                                           D
Sailing takes me away to where I've always heard it could be
        Bm                    F#m
Just a dream and the wind to carry me
     E              D/A
And soon I will be free
 
[Interlude]

[Verse 3]
           D
Well it's not far back to sanity, at least it's not for me
            F#m
And if the wind is right you can sail away and find serenity
          D
Oh, the canvas can do miracles, just you wait and see
  A
Believe me
 
[Chorus]
A                                           D
Sailing takes me away to where I've always heard it could be
        Bm                    F#m
Just a dream and the wind to carry me
     E              D/A
And soon I will be free
