CFC Lady love, go back to sleep, Dry the tears from your eyes,
AmEmG But I cannot stay with thee Until the morning,
FAmEm For the dawn is breaking, And my ship is waiting for me,
FCFG And I must go, But I'll be back, yes, Before this year is over;
 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 
CFC So we sailed across the sea, Till we found America,
AmEmG 'Round the Cape of Storms We set our sails for home,
FAm And when the sea was roaring And the Lord I called
EmFCFG To help my drowning men,I saw the light, yes, the candle in your window
 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 
CFCF And I have brought you silver, And I have brought you gold,
CFAm G And spices from the Indies in the hold;
CFCF I've seen ships on the horizon, That I'd swear were going down,
CF But now I know for certain,
Am GFGC The world is round, I have seen, my eyes have seen.
---------------------------------------------------------------------- 
CFCF One day says Galileo, A man will reach the sky,
CFAm G And see the world completely, From outside,
CFCF And gazing down from yonder, On a world of blue and green,
CF He'll say with eyes of wonder,
Am GFGC I have seen, I have seen, My eyes have seen.
