(Capo on 3)
Intro.: (Em) x 8 bars
(Em)Every sailor's song is taught when they are young
That the (Bm)full of the moon lingers (A)on
(Em)Something we can't escape from (C)Bimini round the (G)Cape
Mixing the (D)wind and the (D/A)sea and sing a-(D)long
(Em)To whom it may concern, I've always tried to learn
That the (Bm)good days need to (A)last
(Em)Season with a lot of laughter
Here and (C)then ever after with (D)poetry and (D/A)painters from our (D)past
(Chorus)
So I (A)follow the (Bm)tides on (G)currents falling (D)wild
(Bm)Chalking up the (G)stories and the (A)miles
Yes, I follow the (Bm)tides, (G)big blue (D)eyes
And that's the (Bm)reason I will (G)never lose my (D)smile
(Em)Hoping to catch a wave, looking to misbehave
As my (Bm)lucky star still shine above the (A)sea
(Em)Watching the ships roll in, I play that (C)Otis song again
For the (D)tourists and some (D/A)mermaids by the (D)sea
(Chorus)
And I (A)follow the (Bm)tides, down my (G)song lines far and (D)wide
(Bm)World to me should (G)still be free and (A)wild
Yes, I follow the (Bm)tides, give me (G)more big blue (D)eyes
And that's the (Bm)reason I will (G)never lose my (D)smile
Solo: |(Em) |(Em) |(Bm)(A)|(G) |(Em)(A)|(Bm)(A)|(C)(G)|(D) |
(Em)Every sailor's song is taught when they are young
That the (Bm)full of the moon lingers (A)on
(Em)Something we can't escape, is it salt (C)water or just (G)fate?
Mixing the (D)wind and the (D/A)sea and sing a-(D)long
(Chorus)
And we'll (A)follow the (Bm)tides, down a (G)song line far and (D)wide
It (Bm)seems to me my (G)life's still free and (A)wild
Yes, we'll follow the (Bm)tides, give us (G)more big blue (D)eyes
And that's the (Bm)reason I will (G)never lose my (D)smile
(Tag)
And that's the (Bm)reason you should (G)never lose your (D)smile
