Far Away

I will live my (E)life as a (A7)lobsterman's (D)wife on an (A)island (E)in the blue (A)bay.

(E)He will (A)take care of (E)me;

he will (A7)smell like the (D)sea and (A)close to my heart he'll always stay.

I will bear three (E)girls, all with (A7)strawberry (D)curls:

Little Ella and

Nelly and Faye.

(E)While I'm (A)combing their (E)hair,

I will (A7)catch his warm stare on our island (E)in the blue bay.

Far away, far away, I want to (D)go far (A)away to a (E)new life on a new shoreline where the water is blue and the (D)people are (A)new;

to (E)another island,

(Dm6)in another life.

(Dm6)There's a boy next to (E)me,

and he (A7)never will (D)be (A)anything but a boy at the bar.

(E)And I (A)think he's the (E)tops;

he's where (A7)ev'rything (D)stops.

How I (A)love to love him from afar!

When he walks right past (E)me,

then I (A7)finally (D)see on this (A)barstool I can't stay.

So I'm taking my frown to a (A7)far distant town on an (A)island (E)in the blue bay.

Far away,

(Amaj7)I want to

go far away, (F#m7)away, away.

I, I want to go far away,

away, away.

I want to go far (A)away,

(A)away, away

(F#m)where the water is blue and the (D)people are (A)new;

to (E)another life, to another (A)life,

to (E)another (Dm6)shoreline

in another life.
