E7+/9 B7+
1. Bluegirls come in every size
B7/4 E
Some are wise and some otherwise,
Asm7
They got pretty blue eyes.
Dm6 E/D
For an hour a man may change
Dm6 C
For an hour her face looks strange -
D G
Looks strange, looks strange.
E7+/9 B7+
Marching to the promised land
B7/4 E A/E E
Where the honey flows and takes you by the hand,
Asm7
Pulls you down on your knees,
Dm6 E/D
While you're down a pool appears.
Es° Em
The face in the water looks up,
F#° C/G
And she shakes her head as if to say
D/C B7/4 B7
That it's the last time you'll look like today.
A7+ B/A
R1: Sail away, away
E7+ E7
Ripples never come back.
F#m7 F#7/4 F#7
Gone to the other side.
A7+ B/A
Sail away, away.
2. The face that launched a thousand ships
Is sinking fast, that happens you know,
The water gets below.
Seems not very long ago
when lovelier she was than any
that I know.
Angels never know it's time
To close the book and gracefully decline,
The song has found a tale.
My, what a jealous pool is she.
The face in the water looks up
She shakes her head as if to say
That the bluegirls have all gone away.
R2: Sail away, away
Ripples never come back.
They've gone to the other side.
Look into the pool,
E7+ E7
Ripples never come back,
F#m7
Dive to the bottom and go to the top
F#7/4 F#7
To see where they have gone
A7+ B/A
Oh, they've gone to the other side...
R3: Sail away, away
Ripples never come back.
Gone to the other side.
Look into the pool,
The ripples never come back, come back,
Dive to the bottom and go to the top
To see where they have gone
They've gone to the other side
E7+ E7
Ripples never come back
F#m7 F#7/4 F#7
Sail away, away...
