[G] [Gsus2]

[G]If I had been born 200 y[G/C]ears a[C]go
I wo[G]uld have been a sailor, a-Sa[A]iling I woul[D]d go
          [G]                [G/f#]              [G]      [G]/[F#]        [C]
I'd sail around the capes across the seven seas and then back home
[G]If I had been born 2[D]00 years a[G]go

[G]and I would know the waters and the w[G/C]aters would know m[C]e
I would c[G]ut across the waves and be as ha[A]ppy as can be[D]
        [G]             [G/f#]            [G]         [G]/[F#]   [C]
Id be landless Id be loveless Id be flight and fancy free
[G]and would know the waters and the wat[D]ers would know [G]me

[G]And when I think about the place and time w[G/C]ere I was bo[C]rn
[G]well I wonder if the hands of fate have sli[A]pped and placed me w[D]rong
                [G]                 [G/f#]                [G]       [G]/[F#]     [C]
cos there are ships I could have sailed and sailors boots I could've worn
[G]when I think about the place and t[D]ime were I was b[G]orn

[G]But the ocean is still out there magn[G/C]ificent and w[C]ide
[G]With open arms to hold me, and en[A]dless space to hi[D]de,
          [G]               [G/f#]              [G]       [G]/[F#]   [C]
And the only things that hold me back are things I hold inside
The o[G]cean is still out there magn[D]ificent and w[G]ide

O[C]h, o[C/G]h, oh[D]
O[G]h, o[G/C]h, oh [C]
O[C]h, oh[C/G], oh  [D]
[D]A-Sailing I should [G]go
