F5 
                           Bb5  F5 
Are you home from the sea 
                   Bb  C  F 
My soul balladeer 
        F/C       Bb      F5  Fmaj7  Bb 
You've been away roamin' 
                    F5  C  F 
Far away from here 
 F/C          Bb5  F5 
Weathered a storm 
                Bb   C  F 
Your heart unafraid 
  F/C         Bb      F5  Fmaj7  Bb 
Crossed every ocean 
                      C 
In the boat that you made 


F5 

                   Bb5  F5 
Been blowin' your horn 
              Bb    C  F 
Scarin' the spooks 
     F/C         Bb      F5  Fmaj7  Bb 
No crotchets or quavers 
               F5  C  F 
In your books 
      F/C         Bb5   F5 
Gone sailin' all night 
                 Bb   C  F 
Straight in the vein 
        F/C        Bb    F5    Fmaj7  Bb 
Like a bird on his own flight 
          C 
In his domain 


         F  Bbmaj7 
In the sky 
         F  Bbmaj7 
In the sky

F5 
                   Bb5  F5 
Runnin' in on the tide 
                        Bb   C  F 
With the first of the stars 
     F/C         Bb    F5  Fmaj7  Bb 
The moon on the water 
                     F5   C  F 
And the sound of guitars 
      F/C       Bb5   F5 
Glide into the homin' 
              Bb    C  F 
As the night falls 
    F/C        Bb    F5  Bb 
Tie up in the haven 
                   C 
By the old harbor wall 


F5 

                       Bb5    F5 
And the hard-bitten stranger 
           Bb   C  F 
Deaf as a post 
      F/C          Bb   F5  Bb 
Who stands at the fire 
                       F5    C  F 
Where a poet's dreams roast 
                    Bb5  F5 
He can't know the story 
                   Bb   C  F 
He can't feel the pain 
    F/C          B5   F5  Fmaj7  Bb 
And all of the glory 
                       C 
Falls around him like rain 


         F  Bbmaj7 
In the sky 
         F  Bbmaj7

F5 
                       Bb5  F5 
You're a light in the dark 
           Bb5  C  F 
Beacon of hope 
       F/C       Bb  F5   Bb5 
And strong as a sea boat 
             F5   C  F 
Strong as a rope 
         F/C      Bb5  F5 
And the vagabond wind 
                   Bb  C  F 
Whispers over the bay 
         F/C           Bb   F5  Fmaj7  Bb 
And the songs and the laughter 
              C 
Are carried away 


         F  Bbmaj7 
In the sky 
         F  Bbmaj7 
In the sky
