[Verse 1]
G
I took a boat to the land of my dreams
Am
South of the border below
D
The wind in the sails, it strained at the seams
G
The warm breeze knew just how to blow
G
A half moon above me, the stars overhead
Am
Like some sweeter song of my soul
D
My old life behind me, I left it for dead
G
The soft waves knew which way to roll
[Chorus]
Am D G
Well it's a long way down
Am D G
For a lonesome stranger in town
Am D G
Trying to find out where he belongs
Am D G
The right place to sing his songs
[Verse 2]
G
Met up with a mermaid who looked like the girl
Am
I left behind me at home
D
Wherever I end up in this whole world
G
Thoughts of her won't leave me alone
G
So what I mean, she inhabits my dreams
Am
No matter where I may go
D
From moonlight rivers to sun-splattered streams
G
That is, I'm hanged if I know
[Chorus]
Am D G
Well it's a long way down
Am D G
For a lonesome stranger in town
Am D G
Trying to find out where he belongs
Am D G
The right place to sing his songs
[Verse 3]
G
I'd tell you my tale from beginning to end
Am
But I don't remember that much
D
What I don't recall I may have to pretend
G
I just hope I'm not losing my touch
G
My dreams are as real as my heartbeat to me
Am
True as the clouds in my sky
D
That drift overhead as the days hurry by
G
And the one I'll love till I die
[Chorus]
Am D G
Well it's a long way down
Am D G
For a lonesome stranger in town
Am D G
Trying to find out where he belongs
Am D G
The right place to sing his songs
[Chorus]
Am D G
Well it's a long way down
Am D G
For a lonesome stranger in town
Am D G
Trying to find out where he belongs
Am D G
The right place to sing his songs
[Outro]
G
I took a boat to the land of my dreams
G
I took a boat to the land of my dreams
