Intro: G Gsus2 

G                       G/C   C
If I had been born 200 years ago
    G                           A           D
I would have been a sailor, a-Sailing I would go
          G                G/F#              G      G/F#        C
I'd sail around the capes across the seven seas and then back home
G                   D         G
If I had been born 200 years ago


G                                    G/C               C
and I would know the waters and the waters would know me
         G                               A            D
I would cut across the waves and be as happy as can be
        G             G/F#            G         G/F#   C
Id be landless Id be loveless Id be flight and fancy free
G                                    D              G
and would know the waters and the waters would know me


G                                          G/C         C
And when I think about the place and time were I was born
G                                          A                   D
well I wonder if the hands of fate have slipped and placed me wrong 
                G                 G/F#                G       G/F#     C
cos there are ships I could have sailed and sailors boots I could've worn
G                                 D               G
when I think about the place and time were I was born


G                                    G/C          C
But the ocean is still out there magnificent and wide
G                                A                D
With open arms to hold me, and endless space to hide,
          G               G/F#              G       G/F#   C
And the only things that hold me back are things I hold inside
     G                           D            G
The ocean is still out there magnificent and wide


 C   C/G  D
Oh, oh, oh
 G   G/C   C    
Oh, oh, oh
 C    C/G   D
Oh, oh, oh
D                  G
A-Sailing I should go
