Verse 1
"We gathered up our worldly (C major) goods
And stole (B flat major) off in the dark as
quickly as we could. (F major)
You were (F minor) quieting the baby (F major) when (C major) we came
to the dock on the outskirts of town. (A major)
And looking back we saw China,
(F major) shrinking to size of a coin (C major)
And then we saw (G major) (C major)
water...everywhere.
When we climbed on board they tied (G minor) our
things togeth (B flat major) er with electrical cord. (F major)
And then we set sail (C major) as we held
on tight to the cold iron rail.
And I apo (A major) logize,
but I don't know what I love more:
You (E major) next to (F minor) me there or
the (E major) receeding shore.
(C major) We stood there in the cold,
(B flat major) and the baby was 6 months old. (F major)
We were passing him back and forth
When (C major) a cold familiar wind came
down from the north. (A major)
And looking back we saw China
(F major) shrinking to size of a coin
(C major) And then we saw water...everywhere."
