Far Away

I will live my  life as a lobsterman's wife on an island in the blue bay.

         A            E           A7             D         
He will take care of me, he will smell like the sea,
     A           E                  A
And close to my heart he'll always stay.
             
         A         E               A7         D            A   
I will bear three girls all with strawberry curls, little Ella and
E          A   
Nelly and Faye.
             
            A            E           A7               D          
While I'm combing their hair, I will catch his warm stare
         A    E           A
On our island in the blue bay.

     E        E7             D       A
Far away far away, I want to go far away.
      E       E7          D   A
To a new life on a new shore line.
                    
           E        E7           D          A
Where the water is blue and the people are new.
     E      E7     *F flatted 5th thing (strummed)  A
To another island, in another life.

There's a boy next to me and he never will be anything but a boy at the bar.
                                           
       A              E               A7          D     
And I think he's the tops, he's where everything stops.
        A      E              A
How I love to love him from afar.

When he walks right past me then I finally see on this bar stool I can't stay.
                             
         A        E         A7           D
So I'm taking my frown to a far distant town
       A     E            A
On an island in the blue bay.

      E       E7              D       A
Far away far away, I want to go far away.
