English lyric by Jack Lawrence, 1947

G7 C Am Dm7 G7 C Am
Somewhere beyond the sea,

F G7 C E7 Am
Somewhere waiting for me,

G7 C C7 F A7 Dm7
My lover stands on golden sands

G7 Am Cdim Dm7 D7 G7
And watches the ships that go sail - ing.


C Am Dm7 G7 C Am
Somewhere beyond the sea,

F G7 C E7 Am
She's there, watching for me.

G7 C C7 F A7 Dm7
If I could fly like birds on high,

G7 Am Cdim Dm7 G7 C Am Cdim B7
Then straight to her arms I'd go sail - ing.


Bridge:

E C#m7 A B7 E C#m7
It's far, beyond a star,

A B7 E C#m7 Gdim D7
It's near, beyond the moon;

G Em Am7 D7 G Em
I know beyond a doubt

Am7 D7 G Gdim Edim G7
My heart will lead me there soon.


C Am Dm7 G7 C Am
We'll meet beyond the shore,

F G7 C E7 Am
We'll kiss, just as before;

G7 C C7 F A7 Dm7
Happy we'll be, beyond the sea,

First Time:
G7 Am Cdim Dm7 G7 C Am Cdim B7
And never a - gain I'll go sail - ing.

Last Time:
G7 Am Cdim Dm7 G7 C Am Dm7
And never a - gain I'll go sail - ing.

G7 C Am Dm7 G7 C Am Dm7 Fdim CM7
No more sailin' bye-bye sailin'.
