C     G      Am     F                            G
    I'm sailing away,    set an open course for the virgin sea
    C     G          Am     F                              G
    I've got to be free,    free to face the life that's ahead of me
   Am                          G
    On board, I'm the captain, so climb aboard
   Am                             G
    We'll search for tomorrow on every shore
             C      G            Am    F         G  C F  G  F  C  G
    And I'll try, oh Lord, I'll try    to carry on


    C   G         Am     F                                   G
    I look to the sea,   reflections in the waves spark my memory
     C     G          Am 
    Some happy, some sad
   F                                       G
    I think of childhood friends and the dreams we had
   Am                       G
    We live happily forever, so the story goes
   Am                        G
    But somehow we missed out on that pot of gold
         C         G           Am   F       G  C F  G  F  C  F G F
    But we'll try best that we can,  to carry on


        C           F        G               F
    A gathering of angels appeared above my head
          C               F                  G                F
    They sang to me this song of hope, and this is what they said
               C              F
    They said come sail away, come sail away
          G             F
    Come sail away with me .. lad
     C               F
    Come sail away, come sail away
         G              F
    Come sail away with me


         C                    F       G          F
    I thought that they were angels, but to my surprise
            C                  F             G             F
    They climbed aboard their starship and headed for the skies
             C              F
    Singing come sail away, come sail away
          G        F
    Come away with me
     C              F
    Come sail away, come sail away

    Come sail away with me (rpt to end)

DESERT MOON 

(INTRO)
D Bm G A     
D Bm G ...A 
D D D D
                  D             
Is this the train to Desert Moon
Bm
was all she said.
G
But I knew I'd heard that 
A                            D
stranger's voice before.
D
I turned to look into her eyes, 
Bm
but she moved away.
Em
She was standing in the rain.
C
Trying hard to speak my name.
                      Bm  A                G
They say first love never runs dry.
D
The waiter poured our memories 
Bm
into tiny cups.
G
We stumbled over 
A
words we longed to hear.
D
We talked about the dreams we'd lost, 
Bm
or given up.
Em
When the whistle caught the night.
C
And shook silence from our lives.
G
As the last train 
A                         G                    
rolled toward the moon.
D
Those summer nights.When we were young.
We bragged of things, We'd never done.
               G                                    
We were dreamers, 
        A
only dreamers.
D
And in our haste, to grow too soon,
We left our innocence on Desert Moon.
G                                     A
We were dreamers, only dreamers.
                 G
On Desert Moon.
                 D
On Desert Moon.
                 G
On Desert Moon.
           D
Desert Moon.
F  A
D Bm G A 
D Bm G A 
D
I still can hear the whisper 
                         Bm
of the summer nights.
    G                  
It echoes in the 
A                        D
corners of my heart.
D
The night we stood and 
                                 Bm
waited for the desert train.
               G                       A
All the words we meant to say.
                G                   A
All the chances swept away.
           Bm              A          G
Still remain on the road to undo.
           D
Those summer nights, 
when we were young.
We bragged of things 
we'd never done.
                G
We were dreamers, 
A
only dreamers.
D
Moments pass, 
and time moves on.
But dreams remain 
for just as long,
                 G
As there's dreamers.
                A
All the dreamers.
                  G
On Desert Moon.
                  D
On Desert Moon.
                  G
On Desert Moon.
            D
Desert Moon
Repeat and fade...

Boat On The River

Em
Did you make your bed?

Did you lose your head?

Are you still awake
                                  G
From the things we said...

Em
You close your eyes

But the sleep won't come

`Cause you can't escape
                             G
What's said and done

Em
Did you draw the line

In the sand again

Did you make a stand
               G
Out on a limb

CHORUS:
                    D                   Am
Don't be so hard on yourself
C
'Cause you can't change the world
                                                 D
You can't change the world alone
Em
Just be

Em
You drink too much

`Cause you think too much

It seems so hard to feel
                 G
All this is real

Em
You numb your heart

So you feel no pain'

Then you miss the bliss
                         G
of the pouring rain.

Em
But there's a brand new day

It's a shame to waste

It's yours to live
                     G
It's yours to taste

Chorus  (2x)

Just Be

In 1972 Denise wrote this love ballad for his wife, Suzanne. Styx was signed to a small record label called Wooden Nickel when they first released this in 1973. It didn't get much promotion and went nowhere, until a radio station in Chicago, WLS, received constant requests for &quot;Lady&quot;, and the program director vowed to play the song every night until it became a hit. January 1975, two years after its first release, &quot;Lady&quot; entered the Billboard Top 40, where it peaked at #6 and propelled STYX II to gold record status.

I had a dream, we were sipping whisky neat
        F              C                 G
Highest floor, the Bowery, and nowhere’s high enough
    Am              C                F             C
Somewhere along the lines, we stopped seeing eye to eye
         F               C           G
You were staying out all night and I had enough


      F           Am             F                    C       
No, I don't wanna know where you been or where you're goin’
      F               Am                 G
But I know I won't be home and you'll be on your own


            F                    C                G

             F                    C                G
Who's gonna walk you through the dark side of the morning, it ain’t me


Am        C              G         F

It Ain't Me

Verse 1:
G                                    Em        G        Em
There was a girl who lived in London town.
G                                 Em                   G      Em
The scenes and sounds, they would only bring her down
C                                   D
She had polkadots and rubies in her dreams,
C                   D
French fantasies on cinema screens...
        C             G/B    Am     G
And she knew from the finish to the start
C      G/B      Am   G
It was bound to fall apart
C         G/B     Am   Em
Thanks to Cupid's lazy dart.
Em                                D
Wouldn't it be sweet if she could die from a broken heart?

G     Em      G      Em

Verse 2: (the same chords)
There was a boy who lived inside his head.
He couldn't face the world, so he turned his back instead.
He couldn't see in front of his eyes;
His fantasies of outlaws had him hypnotised...

And he knew from the finish to the start
It was bound to fall apart
Thanks to Cupid's lazy dart.                        F
Wouldn't it be sweet if he could die from a broken heart?

   C              G           F
Behold his golden wings
       C              G         F
And behold his bronze bow.
                 C             G         F
Can you hear his silver arrows sing?
       C               G     
As his gaylied favours glow.

(then go back to the normal verse bit)

There was a boy and girl who fell in love:
They both were in love with the stars and sky above,
Cinderella, cigarettes and scenes from the past
Were chasing them too fast for this love to ever last...

And they knew from the finish to the start
It was bound to fall apart
Thanks to Cupid's lazy dart.                         F
Wouldn't it be sweet if they could die from a broken heart? 

C   G    F    C    G

Repeat F  C  G until the end. End on G.
