INTRO: G  G/F#  Em   (4x)

     G    G/F# Em         
As I row, row, row
         G     G/F#  Em
Going so slow, slow, slow
            C             G        
Just down below me is the old sea
G/F#        Em            C
Just down below me is the old sea


       G      G/F#   Em            
Nobody knows, knows, knows
        G       G/F#    Em
So many things, things, so
          C                   G        
So out of range, sometimes so strange
G/F#         Em                  C
Sometimes so sweet, sometimes so lonely


CHORUS:
              G   
The further I go
     G/F#         Em   D       C
More letters from home never arrive
         G    
And I'm alone
G/F#       Em   D          C         
All of the way, all of the way
           G   G/F#  Em
Alone and alive


INTERLUDE: G  G/F#  Em   (3x)


             G   G/F# Em         
Just have to go, go,  go
              G     G/F#  Em
Where I don't know, know, know
            C              G        
This is the thing somebody said
G/F#     Em                    C
Somebody told me, a long time ago


CHORUS:
              G   
The further I go
     G/F#         Em   D       C
More letters from home never arrive
         G    
And I'm alone
G/F#       Em   D          C         
All of the way, all of the way
           G   G/F#  Em
Alone and alive


INSTRUMENTAL: G  G/F#  Em   (3x)


     G    G/F# Em     
As I row, row, row
         G     G/F#  Em
Going so slow, slow, slow
            G     G/F#    Em             
Just down below me is the old sea
           G     G/F#    Em             
Just down below me is the old sea


     G    G/F# Em     
As I row, row, row
         G     G/F#  Em
Going so slow, slow, slow
            G     G/F#    Em             
Just down below me is the old sea
            G     G/F#    Em             
Just down below me is the old sea


                     (## fade to end ##)
     G    G/F# Em     
As I row, row, row
         G     G/F#  Em
Going so slow, slow, slow
            G     G/F#    Em             
Just down below me is the old sea
            G     G/F#    Em             
Just down below me is the old sea
