Verse 1
(D major) (A minor) (D major) (G major) We're leaving
dear old Dublin,
we're (C major) sailing with the tide
The (A minor) docks are filled with latties,
all for (D major) lorn and teary -eyed
The (G major) parting's never easy
as we (C major) pull away from shore
For (D major) devil a home we'll see again
for fourteen days or (G major) more
So (D major) sail (G major) away, sail away,
so sail (C major) away, sail away
So (D major) sail away, you sailor boys,
the (C major) wind is blowing free
(D major) So sail (G major) away, sail away,
So sail (C major) away, sail away,
So (D major) sail away, a sailor sail away
(A minor) across (G major) the sea. (D major) (G major)
We're headed for the sunny shores of (C major) Portugal,
It's been a (A minor) turn up from Tipperary
and from (D major) Admiral Flaxing Green.
The (G major) prize of all the cargo,
(C major) oh, this is little doubt,
There's (D major) crates of Irish whisky
and there's kegs of Guinness (G major) stout.
So (D major) sail (G major) away, sail away,
so sail (C major) away, sail away
So (D major) sail away, you sailor boy,
the (C major) wind is blowing free
(D major) So sail away, (G major) sail away,
so sail away, (C major) sail away
So (D major) sail away, you sailor,
sail away (A minor) (D major) across (G major) the sea (D major)
(G major)
The captain comes from Belfast
and (C major) stern but fair is he
You'd (A minor) never find a better man
across (D major) the seven seas
Through (G major) fair or stormy weather,
we (C major) take it as it comes
For the (D major) captain, just like us,
he likes his dilly -totter (G major) up
So sail (D major) away, (G major) sail away,
so sail away, (C major) sail away
So (D major) sail away, you sailor boys,
the (C major) wind is blowing free
(D major) So sail away, (G major) sail away,
so sail away, (C major) sail away
So (D major) sail away, you sailor,
sail away across the (G major) sea (C major) (A minor) (D major) (G major)
(C major) (D major)
So (G major) (D major) sail away, (G major) sail away,
So sail away, (C major) sail away.
So (D major) sail away, you sailor boys,
The (C major) wind is blowing free, (D major)
So sail away, (G major) sail away,
So sail away, (C major) sail away.
So (D major) sail away, you sailor,
Sail away (A minor) across (G major) the sea.
So here's to all you sailor boys,
(C major) Wherever you may roll.
And (A minor) may you have a worthy ship
(D major) and plough it through the foam
And (G major) may the fates be gentle
and (C major) smile upon us all
And we'll (D major) drink to our good fortune
at the nearest port, I (G major) call
So (D major) sail (G major) away, sail away
So sail (C major) away, sail away
So (D major) sail away, you sailor (A minor) boys,
the (C major) wind is blowing free
(D major) So sail (G major) away
So sail (C major) away, (D major) ya sailor,
sail away across (G major) the sea
So sail (D major) away
(G major) So sail away, (C major) (D major) ya sailor, why?
The (C major) wind is blowin' free
(D major) So sail away
(G major) So sail away, (C major) (D major) ya sailor,
sail away (A major) (D major) across (G major) the sea (D major) (G major) you
