I won't exhaustively tab it out. It's meant to be played emotively anyway - as long as you put the right emotion into it, you're playing it right, even if you don't hit the exact notes he does. [Intro] G [Chorus] G Overseas and far away heave away boys G Sea dogs sail their lives away heave away boys [Verse 1] Dadd11 Em Ghosts of sea dogs at break of day Dadd11 C Crusty beards and coats of gray Dadd11 Em Weigh the anchor, let's be away Dadd11 C From this day on we're carried by the wind [Chorus] G Overseas and far away heave away boys G Sea dogs sail their lives away heave away boys [Verse 2] Dadd11 Em Creaky decks and ruthless men Dadd11 C Ruled by the lash, where some met their end Dadd11 Em The old world was new in all directions then Dadd11 C Conquered by a few at the loss of so many [Chorus] G Overseas and far away heave away boys G Sea dogs sail their lives away heave away boys [Chorus] G Overseas and far away heave away boys G Sea dogs sail their lives away heave away boys [Outro] G Crusty beards and bloodshot eyes squint up at the sun G Horizons hold fast and seduce the sea dogs over G Some live to tell tall tales and some never returned G Leaving only their dreams, carried by the sea
