[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
   A
Believe me (E/A to A)
 
[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]
A   A    E#   G    A#   C   -  G  G 
C   C    G#   A#   E#   G   -  A
 
[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

[VERSE]
       D5         Csus2        G/B      Bb5 C5     D5    Csus2  G/B
In the white room,  with black curtains,  near the station.
Bb5 C5        D5      Csus2      G/B      Bb5 C5    D5    Csus2  G/B
   Black roof country,  no gold pavements,   tired starlings.
Bb5 C5  D5     Csus2      G/B       Bb5  C5    D5      Csus2  G/B
 Silver horses,  ran down moonbeams,  in your dark eyes.
Bb5 C5     D5      Csus2    G/B     Bb5  C5  D5    Csus2  G/B  Bb5 C5
 Dawn light smiles,  on you leaving,  my contentment.
  
[CHORUS]
     C            G               Bb         A
I'll wait in this place where the sun never shines;
C            G               Bb       C            D     | D N.C.  |
Wait in this place where the shadows run from themselves.
 
[VERSE]
          D5        Csus2     G/B      Bb5 C5   D5     Csus2  G/B
You said no strings,  could secure you,  at the station.
Bb5 C5      D5    Csus2       G/B    Bb5 C5      D5    Csus2  G/B
  Platform ticket,  restless diesels,   goodbye windows.
Bb5 C5      D5   Csus2    G/B      Bb5 C5    D5    Csus2  G/B
   I walked into,  such a sad time, at the station.
Bb5  C5 D5         Csus2     G/B      Bb5 C5   D5    Csus2  G/B  Bb5 C5
   As I walked out,  felt my own need, just beginning.
  
[CHORUS]
     C            G               Bb         A
I'll wait in the queue when the trains come by;

Lie with you where the shadows run from themselves.

       D5    Csus2     G/B      Bb5 C5   D5        Csus2  G/B
At the party,  she was kindness,  in the hard crowd.
Bb5 C5  D5    Csus2     G/B       Bb5 C5   D5    Csus2  G/B
  Consolation,  for the old wound,  now forgotten.
Bb5 C5  D5     Csus2         G/B     Bb5 C5   D5       Csus2  G/B
 Yellow tigers,  crouched in jungles,  in her dark eyes.
Bb5 C5        D5       Csus2     G/B     Bb5  C5   D5     Csus2  G/B  Bb5 C5
   She's just dressing,  goodbye windows,  tired starlings.
