Вступление
[Intro]
|Dm7 |C | 2x
[Verse 1]
Dm7
When I stand and look about the port
C
And contemplate my life
Dm7 C
Will I ever see my countrymen again?
Dm7
As the captain calls us on the deck
C6
I take my things and walk
Dm7
To the harbour side
Am Asus4
I glance back one last time
[Verse 2]
Am7 Dm7 Em7 Dm7
Fleeing our nation, our problems we leave behind
F Em7 Dm7 Em7
Ships by the tenfold sail out on the tide
Am7 Dm7 Em7 Dm7
We are pleased to be out and embracing the open sea
F Em7 Dm7 Em7
Free from our troubles and more free from thee
Am7 Dm7 Em7 Dm7
Inheritors unfulfilled reason behind us
F Em7 Dm7 Em7
We flee from what is not, what is will be
Am7 Dm7 Em7 Dm7
We flee the earth and face our harsh reality
F Em7 Dm7 Em7
Will death be low mist that hangs on the sea?
Am7 Dm7
We run from evil tongues
Em7 Dm7
Rash judgements, selfish men
F Em7 Dm7 Em7
Never to be seen on these shores again
Am7 Dm7
As we sail into ocean size
Em7 Dm7
And lose sight of land
F Em7 Dm7 Em7
Face of contentment around in the air
Am7 Dm7 Em7
We're off now to seek all our fortunes
Dm7 F Em7 Dm
To the land of our dreams
[Instrumental]
|Dm Bb/D |Gm F C |
[Verse 3]
Dm Bb/D Gm F C
Riding the waves and the storm is upon us
Dm Bb/D
The winds lash the sails
Gm F C
But the ropes keep them tight
Dm Bb/D Gm F C
Off in the distance a dark cloud approa-ching
Dm Bb/D Gm F
None could imagine what there was to come
[Verse 4]
C Dm A#
No, there's no-one going back
F C
No, there's not a second chance
Dm A#
As we strap onto the side
F C
We pray to God that we won't die
[Verse 5]
Dm Bb/D
As we ride the rough seas
Gm F C
As we soak from the ocean waves
Dm Bb/D
I just hope for all our lives
Gm F C
And pray that I survive
Dm Bb/D Gm F C
Four ships are lost in the stormy condi--tions
Dm Bb/D
The spirits of the sunken crews
Gm Dm
Their phantoms follow us
[Verse 6]
C Dm A#
Spirits sails, they drive us on
F C
Through the all-consuming waves
Dm A#
Cold mortality, no weapon
F C
Against these ever raging seas
[Instrumental]

[Verse 7]
Dm Bb/D Gm F C
Four leagues and ten and we hit storms again
Dm Bb/D Gm F C
We just can't get away from the eye of the storm
Dm Bb/D
The birds outsoar the raging storm
Gm F C
But we cannot escape it
Dm Bb/D
Abandoned earth, that we now crave
Gm Dm
Is many leagues from save
[Verse 8]
Dm A#
Holding on for our dear lives
F C
And we're praying once again
Dm A#
Rotten luck or just jonahed?
F C
The talisman is in my hand
[Instrumental]
|D5 A#5 |G5 A5 | 2x
|A5 A#5 |C5 D5 | 4x
[Verse 9]
Dm F C
Limbs fatigue, trembling with cold
G Dm
Blinded from the sea spray salt
F C
Clasping anything we can hold
G Dm
Heaven's rain upon us falls
F C
Twenty days without a meal
G Dm
And ten without fresh water still
F C
Those that didn't die in storms
G
The scurvy rest did slaughter
[Instrumental]
|A5 A#5 |C5 D5 | 4x
[Chorus]
Dm F C G
West--ward the tide
Dm F C G
West--ward we sail on
Dm F C G
West--ward the tide
Dm F C G
Sail by the talisman
[Instrumental]

[Verse 10]
Dm F C
We approach the other side
G Dm
Of the ocean with the tide
F C
In our favour just for once
G Dm
Welcome greeting our new land
F C
The elation in our hearts
G Dm
The excitement in our veins
F C
As we sail towards the coastline
G
Of our golden promised land
[Instrumental]
|D5 A#5 |G5 A5 | 2x

[Verse 11]
Dm A#
Weary limbs fatigued away
F C
I have no life left in me
Dm
No more strength
A#
No nothing left to give
F C
Must find the will to live
Dm A#
Never thought that we could make it
F C
Truly sight of shores divine
Dm A#
The sickness I am dying from
F C
Never wanted it to end this way
[Chorus]
Dm F C G
West--ward the tide
Dm F C G
West--ward we sail on
Dm F C G
West--ward the tide
Dm F C G
Sail by the talisman
Dm F C G
West--ward the tide
Dm F C G
West--ward we sail on
Dm F C G
West--ward the tide
Dm F C G
Sail by the talisman
