B            G#m          A               B      
I am sailing, I am sailing home again 'cross the sea.
       C#m           G#m          C#m             B    F#
I am sailing stormy waters, to be near you, to be free.  


       B            G#m         A               B       
I am flying, I am flying like a bird 'cross the sea.
       C#m           G#m          C#m                  B    F#
I am flying passing high clouds, to be near you, to be free.


        B                G#m               A              B     
Can you hear me, can you hear me, thru the dark night far away?
       C#m           G#m          C#m              B    F#
I am dying, forever trying to be with you; who can say?



        B                G#m               A              B
Can you hear me, can you hear me, thru the dark night far away?
     C#m               G#m        C#m              B    F#       
I am dying, forever trying to be with you; who can say?



        B                G#m         A               B     
We are sailing, we are sailing home again 'cross the sea.
       C#m            G#m           C#m             B    F#
We are sailing stormy waters, to be near you, to be free.

Oh Lord, to be near you, to be free.
F#             C#m             B
Oh Lord, to be near you, to be free.

I think maybe we should replace the A with an E

About this song: Sailing

According to the Sailing Songfacts, Stewart recorded his version of this Sutherland Brothers song at the Muscle Shoals Sound Studio in Muscle Shoals, Alabama with a choir assembled by Bob Crewe, The Four Seasons' producer. It became his third UK chart-topper and the following year, it was revived following it's use as the theme music for a BBC TV documentary series about the HMS Ark Royal, this time peaking at #3. The combined sales of the 2 releases meant this is Stewart's biggest ever selling single in the UK with 955,111 copies sold.
