 Across the straits around the horn

 How far can sailors fly
 E              Em6/G               
 A twisted path  our tortured course
 B/F#             F#sus4 F# 
 And no one left alive
 
 Verse 2:
 
 We sailed for parts unknown to man
 Where ships crawl home to die
 No lofty peak nor fortress bold
 Could match our captain's eyes
 
 Upon the seven seasick days
 We made out for the coast
 The sand so white and sea so blue
 No mortal place at all

 Verse 3:
 
 We fired the gun and burned the mast
 And rode from ship to shore
 The captain cried, we sailors wept
 Our tears were tears of joy
 
 How many moons and many Junes
 Have passed since we made land
 A salty dog, a seaman's log
 Your witness my own hand
 
 (repeat string/piano break; end on Db-5 w/seagulls)
