Lyrics and Music by David Coverdale, Adrian Vandenberg


Intro: :2/4: Am7 | Am7
       Am | G/B
       C G/B Am7 G | F Fsus2

       G | F E
       Am Am7add11 | Am7add11

       Am | G/B
       C G/B Am7 G | F Fsus2

       G | F E
       Am Am7add11 | Am6

       Dm | Bb/D | C/D | F
       Bb/D | Csus4 C | G | G

Am       G/B
Do you remember
C   G/B  Am7    G  F   Fsus2
Standing on the shore,
     G
Your head in the clouds,
     F       E           Am      Am7add11
Your pockets filled with dreams.
Am        G/B
Bound for glory
       C G/B Am7  G  F  Fsus2
On the seven seas of life,
        G        F     E        Amadd9
But the ocean is deeper than it seems.

Am           G/B
The wind was with you
         C    G/B    Am7 G   F  Fsus2
When you left on the morning tide,
    G
You set your sail
       F     E       Am   Am7add11 Am6
For an island in the sun,
Am       G/B
On the horizon,
C    G/B Am7 G  F  Fsus2 G
Dark clouds up ahead,
        F         E      Am   Am7add11
For the storm has just begun.

 Dm        Bb/D
   Take me with you,
   C/D           F
   Take me far away,
 Bb/D          Csus4  C       G      /G /F#
   And lead me to the distant shore.

Chorus:
   Emadd9      G
     Sail your ship
      Asus4add9 Emadd9 G Asus4add9
     Across the water,
   Emadd9        G
     Spread your wings
      Asus4add9 Emadd9 G Asus4add9
     Across the sky.
   Am7sus2    C       D6sus4
     Take the time to see
     Am7sus2             C         D6sus4
     You’re the one, who holds the key,
   Cadd9        D6              Asus2
     Or sailing ships will pass you by.

Instrumental: :2/4: Am | G/B
              C G/B Am7 G | F Fsus2

              G | F E
              Am Am7add11 | Am6

Am          G/B
You cry for mercy,
         C     G/B    Am7  G    F    Fsus2
When you think you’ve lost your way,
    G
You drift alone,
   F        E       Am    Am7add11
If all your hope is gone.
    Am                    G/B
And find the strength and you will see
     C   G/B Am7    G    F    Fsus2 G
That you controlled your destiny,
      F     E         Amadd9
After all is said and done.

 Dm           Bb/D
   So take me with you,
   C/D           F
   Take me far away,
 Bb/D          Csus4  C       G      /G /F#
   And lead me to the distant shore.

Chorus:
   Emadd9      G
     Sail your ship
      Asus4add9 Emadd9 G Asus4add9

     Across the sky.
