Verse 1
(C major) I want (F major) clear (C major) water from (G major) here
to the hori (C major) zon
I want some (F major) calm (C major) seas for
The (F major) journey still ahead (G major)
(F major) Fair (C major) weather as we (G major) head for the skyline (A minor)
(F major) Clear sky in the morn (C major) ing
and every (G major) sunset (C major) red
I want (F major) clear
Verse 2
(C major) water as we sail (G major) out to the head (A minor)
(F major) All I want to (C major) hear is the (D minor) ripple from the bow (G major)
(F major) Let us be at ease (C major) now
And (G major) know our true pos (A minor) ition
Like a com (F major) pass to the star (C major)
Like a team (G major) hooked to the plough
(C major)

Verse 3
And (F major) as for all the history
(C major) Best it's left unwritten
(D minor) Few would be (C major) lieve if we told (D minor)
all we have seen (G major)
(F major) Comedy and (C major) tragedy have
(G major) come along unbid (A minor) den
They (F major) are the port and star (C major) board
That we (G major) sail in between
(C major)
Verse 4
I want (F major) clear (C major) water for (G major) each
new destina (A minor) tion
(F major) And if the storm should (C major) break
We will take (D minor) it in our stride (G major)
We (F major) rode out the tem (C major) pest when
The clouded (G major) stars (A minor) were hidden
And the rising (F major) of the moon (C major) proved
To be (G major) a fickle (C major) guide (C minor)
(C major) And
Verse 5
(F major) if we hear the timbers creak
(C major) We'll be give and take
voices (D minor) from out (C major) side
We (D minor) know our craft is strong (G major)
As (F major) long as we can speak (C major)
Without raising (G major) our voices (A minor)
The (F major) music of the storm (C major) is in
The guardian (G major) of the song
(C major)
Verse 6
(C major) At night upon the deck I want
To (G major) feel the salty spray
Like (A minor) warm tears (F major) on my face for
(A minor) The passing (C major) of the day
And I (F major) watch the wheeling star 'til
The light (C major) breaks in the east
(D minor) May the journey never end,
(G major) let us be at peace

Verse 7
I want (F major) clear (C major) water from (G major) here
to the hori (A minor) zon
(F major) Maybe scarred and (C minor) feathered
(C major) But who'd (D minor) say we were (G major) wrong
The (F major) journey not the goal (C major) was
The only (G major) thing that (A minor) mattered
While the (F major) wounds you thought
had healed (C major) can
Still be opened (G major) by a song
(C major)
Verse 8
(C minor) (C major)
I want (F major) clear wa (C major) ter from (G major) here
to the hori (A minor) zon
I want some (F major) calm (C major) seas for
The (D minor) journey still ahead (G major)
(F major) Fair (C major) weather as we (G major) head
for the skyline (A minor)
(F major) Clear sky in the morn (C major) ing
and every (G major) sunset (C major) red
A (F major) clear sky in the morn (C major) ing
An (G major) d every sunset red
