Windward Away by Julie Fowlis
Windward Away
Tuning:E A D G B E
Capo:1st fret
To play along, put Capo on first fret
(I prefer to put capo on 3rd fret and play in G)
[Verse 1]
A Asus2 A E D
Love will come, and love will go, as the seas roll on forever
F#m E D A Asus2 D
And lost love has the everlasting flow of a never-ending river
F#m E D A Asus2 D
And it's not an easy reckoning, but sometimes I have the notion
F#m E A/C# D Bm A/C# D
That womankind, and her heart and mind, sails on a restless ocean
[Verse 2]
A Asus2 A E D
A tall ship came from windward away, on a grey Atlantic morning
F#m E D A Asus2 D
She showed no lights or colors, in the hour before the dawning
F#m E D A Asus2 D
On a full rig run to the rising sun, she reached our starboard quarter
Bm A/C# D Bm A/C# D
And I'll ne'er forget the name she bore, she was called The Neptune's Daughter
[Verse 3]
A Asus2 A E D
Her sails were white as ivory, and her rigging sang like harp-strings
F#m E D A Asus2 D
Her spars were black as ebony, and her wheel spun free of lashings
F#m E D A Asus2 D
Her cloak of grey was the spindrift spray, as she split the waves asunder
F#m E A/C# D Bm A/C# D
I can see her now as she crossed our bow, as we gazed in silent wonder
[Verse 4]
F#m D F#m D
Her course was set by destiny, and no helmsman's hand could change her
F#m E D A/C# D
We hailed her and we signaled, "you are standing into danger"
F#m E D Bm A/C# D
But she left us free on the westerly, and I watched her pale sail sinking
F#m E A/C# D Bm A/C# D
And if only I was upon her deck, was all that I was thinking
[Verse 5]
A Asus2 A E D
Love will come, and love will go, as the years roll on forever
F#m E D A Asus2 D
Lost love has the everlasting flow of a never-ending river
F#m E D A Asus2 D
And it's not an easy reckoning, but sometimes I have the notion
F#m E A/C# D Bm A/C# D
That womankind, and her heart and mind, is a tall ship on the ocean
F#m E A/C# D Bm A/C# D
That womankind, and her heart and mind, sails on a restless ocean
