Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

Slowboat takes me to your home everyday

 And I wait for you knowing that you won't come home, just today

 For you've found someone new and you'll bid me adieu

 And I leave you now, but I'll come back another day

Chorus

Oooh, sail me far away

Slowboat, bring me back another day

Oooh, sail me far away

Slowboat sail off toward the seventh sea

Far away from you, but somehow coming close again and again

And again as we near from some sign it appears

That you won't come home, you won't come home just today

Chorus

Slowboat takes me where I'll always be

Far away from you, but knowing that you

won't come near me but you hear me

And you'll always be a true love to me

Though you're never home, I'll come back another day

Chorus
