INTRO:
Ab G C F F G C F F G
VERSE:
C F
When I woke, I was not awake
G
Light from the sun felt so far away
C F
I went up, with all of my strength
G
Straight for the sun, from the depths I sprang
BREAK:
F G
And I drank from the sea
C F
But it opened up and swallowed me
F G
So I sank down deep
C F
Now I'm drunken like a seasick dream
Ab
In this dream,
G C F F G
I am awake
C F F G
I am awake
VERSE:
C F
Well when did all of the waves
G
Roll right in and make me their slave
C F
So I went so far away
G
I didn't look back, I'll come back someday
BREAK:
F G
Mamma wept, and she weeped
C F
She said horizon don't you take him from me
F G
Black sails on the sea
C F
Just carry me until I can be
Ab G
Awake, in this dream
C F
I'm a-wa-a-a-a-ake

The main instrument here seems to be a ukulele. Playing a guitar, use a
capo 8th fret to re-create this feel. The capo is definitely helpful
for the intro arpeggio.
