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'.
