Am F C F


[Verse 1]
C             Am
My love has gone
            C
Across the sea
           F  G            C
To find a country far and fair
            Am
He sailed into
            C
The gilded west
           F G              C
And lo my heart will never rest
          Am
Until my love
           F
Returns to me
         C
Or I set out
              F
To find him there


[Verse 2]
       C        Am
Come home, come home
           C
I sing to thee
               F
My love, come home
    G          C
And rest thy head
              Am
I'll wait for you
            C
The winter long
             F  G
And sing for you
          C
A summer song
            Am
And if you can't
          F
Return to me
             C
Then I will sail
           F
To you instead


[Verse 3]
                 Am
Through towering wave
               C
And shriek of gale
             F  G         C
I'll aim my vessel ever west
             Am
And steer it by
               C
The cord that bound
             F   G
My heart to yours
               C
Until you're found
                Am
And should you find
         Em
My body pale
             Am
And wrecked upon
            F
The loamy shale
             G
Rejoice, my love
              Am
And call me blessed
              F
In death, my love
    G         C
I loved you best


[Outro]
             Am
Rejoice, my love
              G
And call me blessed
              F
In death, my love
    G        C 
I loved you best
