Intro:  G  A  D

D        G                D 
Slowboat takes me to your home everyday
      G                                                       D
And I wait for you knowing that you won't come home, just today
           A                                 D  
For you've found someone new and you'll bid me adieu
      G                                                        D
And I leave you now, but I'll come back another day

Chorus:
G     A            D 
Oooh, sail me far away
G         A                   D
Slowboat, bring me back another day
G     A            D
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
