B^Dmaj7/Aluegirls come in every ^Amaj7size, ^A7sus4 some are wise and s^Dome otherwise, They got p^F#m7retty blue eyes,^Cm6/D# for an hour a man may ch^D/Cange, ^Cm6/D# For an hour her face looks st^Bbrange, looks st^Crange, looks st^Frange!

[Verse 2]

^Dmaj7/AMarching to the promised ^Amaj7land, Where the ^A7sus4honey flows, and ta^Dkes you by the hand, Pulls you ^F#m7down on your knees, ^Cm6/D#while you're down a pool ap - ^D/Cpears, The ^C#dimface in the water looks ^Dmup, and she ^C#dimshakes her head, Bb C C/Bb A7sus4 A7 As if to say, that it's the last time you'll look like to - day------!'

[Chorus]

^Gmaj7Sail away, a - ^A/Gway, r^Dmaj7ipples never come ^D7back, ^Em7Gone to the other^E7sus4 side, ^E7 ^Gmaj7sail away, a - ^A/Gway! ^D

[Verse 3]

The^Dmaj7/A face that launched a thousand ^Amaj7ships, Is ^A7sus4sinking fast, that ha^Dppens you know, The ^F#m7water gets below, ^Cm6/D#seems not very long a -^D/C go, When l^Cm6/D#ovelier she was ...than ^Bbany ...t^Chat I ...k^Fnow!

[Verse 4]

^Dmaj7/A Angels never know it's ^Amaj7time ...to ^A7sus4close the book, And gr^Dacefully decline, the ^F#m7song has found a tale, Cm6/D# D/C My, ...what a jealous pool is she---------, The ^C#dimface ...in the water looks ^Dmup, she s^C#dimhakes her head, Bb C C/Bb A7sus4 A7 As if to say ...that the bluegirls have all gone a - way-------!

[Chorus]

^Gmaj7Sail away, a - ^A/Gway, ^Dmaj7/Aripples never come b^D7ack, Em7 E7sus4 E7 They've gone to the other side--------, ^Gmaj7 Look into the ^A/Gpool, ^Dmaj7/Aripples never come b^D7ack, ^Em7Dive to the bottom, and go to the top, To ^E7sus4see where they have g^E7one, Gmaj7 A/G Oh, they've gone to the other side------!

[Keyboard instrumental section] [Chorus reprise]

^Gmaj7 Sail away, a - ^A/Gway, ^Dmaj7/Aripples never come b^D7ack, Em7 E7sus4 E7 They've gone to the other side--------, ^Gmaj7 Look into the ^A/Gpool, the ^Dmaj7/Aripples never come b^D7ack, come back, ^Em7Dive to the bottom, and go to the top, To ^E7sus4see where they have g^E7one, they've ^Gmaj7gone to the other ^A/Gside, ^Dmaj7/ARipples never come b^D7ack, come back!
