The Voyage
Christy Moore
[G] I am a[D] Sailor[C] you're my first [G] mate,
We [Em] signed on to[D]gether we [C] coupled our [D] fate,
[C] Hauled up our [D] anchors [C] determined not to [G] fail,
[G] For the hearts [D] treasure to[C]gether we set [G] sail.
With[G]no maps to[D] guide us we [C] steered our own [G] course,
[Em] Rode out the[D] storms when the[C] winds were gale[D] force,
[C] Sat out the[D] doldrums in[C] patience and[G] hope,
[G] Working to[D]gether we [C] learned how to [G] cope.
Chorus:
[Bm] Life is an[Em] ocean and[Bm] love is a[Em] boat,
[Dm] In troubled waters it[C] keeps us[D] afloat,
When we [C] started the[D] voyage there was [Bm] just me and [Em] you,
[C] Now gathered round us, we[D] have our own [G] crew.
To[G]gether we're [D]in this[C] relation[G]ship,
We [Em] built it with [D] care to [C] last the whole[D] trip,
Our [C] true desti[D] nation's not [C] marked on any [G] charts,
[G] We're navi[D] gating for the [C] shores of the[G] heart.
