Beyond the Sea
Words & Music by Charles Trenet (as "La Mer," 1945)English lyric by Jack Lawrence, 1947
Recorded by Bobby Darin, 1960 (#6)
G7 C Am Dm7 G7 C Am
Somewhere beyond the sea,
F G7 C E7 Am
Somewhere waiting for me,
G7 C C7 F A7 Dm7
My lover stands on golden sands
G7 Am Cdim Dm7 D7 G7
And watches the ships that go sail - ing.
C Am Dm7 G7 C Am
Somewhere beyond the sea,
F G7 C E7 Am
She's there, watching for me.
G7 C C7 F A7 Dm7
If I could fly like birds on high,
G7 Am Cdim Dm7 G7 C Am Cdim B7
Then straight to her arms I'd go sail - ing.
Bridge:
E C#m7 A B7 E C#m7
It's far, beyond a star,
A B7 E C#m7 Gdim D7
It's near, beyond the moon;
G Em Am7 D7 G Em
I know beyond a doubt
Am7 D7 G Gdim Edim G7
My heart will lead me there soon.
C Am Dm7 G7 C Am
We'll meet beyond the shore,
F G7 C E7 Am
We'll kiss, just as before;
G7 C C7 F A7 Dm7
Happy we'll be, beyond the sea,
First Time:
G7 Am Cdim Dm7 G7 C Am Cdim B7
And never a - gain I'll go sail - ing.
Last Time:
G7 Am Cdim Dm7 G7 C Am Dm7
And never a - gain I'll go sail - ing.
G7 C Am Dm7 G7 C Am Dm7 Fdim CM7
No more sailin' bye-bye sailin'.
