[Verse 1]
Dmaj7/A Amaj7 A7sus4 D
Bluegirls come in every size, some are wise and some otherwise,
F#m7 Cm6 D/C
They got pretty blue eyes, for an hour a man may change,
Cm6 Bb C F
For an hour her face looks strange, looks strange, looks strange
[Verse 2]
Dmaj7/A Amaj7
Marching to the promised land,
A7sus4 D
Where the honey flows, and takes you by the hand,
F#m7 Cm6 D/C
Pulls you down on your knees, while you're down a pool ap - pears,
C#dim Dm C#dim
The face in the water looks up, and she shakes her head,
Bb C7/Bb A7sus4 A7
As if to say, that it's the last time you'll look like to - day!'
[Chorus]
Gmaj7 A/G Dmaj7 D7
Sail away, a - way, ripples never come back,
Em7 E7sus4 E7 Gmaj7 A/G D
Gone to the other side, sail away, a - way
[Verse 3]
Dmaj7/A Amaj7
The face that launched a thousand ships,
A7sus4 D
Is sinking fast, that happens you know,
F#m7 Cm6 D/C
The water gets below, seems not very long a - go,
Cm6 Bb C F
When lovelier she was ...than any ...that I ...know
[Verse 4]
Dmaj7/A Amaj7 A7sus4
Angels never know it's time ...to close the book,
D F#m7
And gracefully decline, the song has found a tale,
Cm6 D/C
My, what a jealous pool is she,
C#dim Dm C#dim
The face ...in the water looks up, she shakes her head,
Bb C7/Bb A7sus4 A7
As if to say ...that the bluegirls have all gone a - way
[Chorus]
Gmaj7 A/G Dmaj7 D7
Sail away, a - way, ripples never come back,
Em7 E7sus4 E7
They've gone to the other side--------,
Gmaj7 A/G Dmaj7 D7
Look into the pool, ripples never come back,
Em7
Dive to the bottom, and go to the top,
E7sus4 E7
To see where they have gone,
Gmaj7 A/G D
Oh, they've gone to the other side!
