Fairport Convention - Im Already There

      [Intro]
N.C.
Was homeward bound, one night on the deep
N.C.
Swinging in my hammock, I fell asleep

Gm7  Gm6  Gm7  Gm6  Gm7

[Verse]
           Gm6          Gm7   Gm6  Gm7
Across the ocean we set sail
         Gm6              Gm7  Gm6  Gm7
It was a rough and mighty sea
                 Gm6             Gm7    Gm6
Our strength and courage beat the gale
         Gm7      Gm6    Gm7   Gm6  D
Till our ship she landed free

[Verse]
          A              D            G
I sail my vessel for the lord in Banbury
       C    G  D
So not come to harm
          A                D              G
It was my calling from the start, my destiny
     C    G Bm
In a sea of calm

[Chorus]
               C
And I dream at night
                G
Of those frozen wastes
                  Bb
Of that curtained sky
                   C
In it's shimmering state
C
Land of great white bears
                    G
Across that crystal ball
                   Bb
Like a snowflake's fall
            C       Gm7
I'm already there

[Verse]
          Gm6             Gm7   Gm6  Gm7
At Hudson Bay we made our camp
            Gm6                Gm7     Gm6  Gm7
To heal our wounds and take on stores
            Gm6            Gm7     Gm6
With native Indians as our guides
   Gm7       Gm6         Gm7    Gm6  D
We found the copper mine shore

[Verse]
          Gm6         Gm7  Gm6  Gm7
We headed down to Canada
            Gm6                  Gm7  Gm6  Gm7
Our bow was breaking through the ice
           Gm6             Gm7      Gm6
And it got thicker when we stopped
Gm7       Gm6    Gm7   Gm6  D
Held in a frozen vice

[Verse]
         A             D                G
I wonder how you are, across the mighty sea
            C  G      D
Through the turquoise spray
            A               D                G
And all the people that you meet, a lot like me
         C    G  Bm
Is there much to say

[Chorus]
               C
And I dream at night
                G
Of those frozen wastes
                  Bb
Of that curtained sky
                   C
In it's shimmering state
C
Land of great white bears
                    G
Across that crystal ball
                   Bb
Like a snowflake's fall
            C
I'm already there

[Instrumental]
Gm7  Gm6  Gm7  Gm6  Gm7  Gm6
Gm7     Bb
Gm7     Bb  Gm7

[Verse]
         Gm6            Gm7    Gm6  Gm7
Franklin said we had to leave
             Gm6                 Gm7   Gm6  Gm7
And take our chance with dog and sled
             Gm6                 Gm7          Gm6
I thought of you and hoped you'd pray for me
       Gm7       Gm6       Gm7  Gm6  D
We are brothers, come what may

[Verse]
            A               D                   G
So much goodwill out in the streets of this old town
          C   G    D
As people ask your name
        A                   D                 G
So many thoughts, my humble prayers go out to you
        C   G     Bm
On that ice bound plain

[Chorus]
               C
And I dream at night
                G
Of those frozen wastes
                  Bb
Of that curtained sky
                   C
In it's shimmering state
C
Land of great white bears
                    G
Across that crystal ball
                   Bb
Like a snowflake's fall
            C
I'm already there

[Outro]
Gm7  Gm6  Gm7  Gm6  Gm7  Gm6
