 I have joureneyed,

 End-less miles.
Am    G/B  Am              F      G
 Seen many harbours, where I took rest a while.

C   G/B  Am   C
 On this boat called,
F      Em  G     G7
 "Near and far".

Bridge 1:

Dm  E

Dm                       E
 Only a wind of hope, my heart said,
Dm                           E     E7
 Braving mystic oceans to ar-rive.
Am                C                   D7/F#
 Those who do not leave and choose to stay,
F         E     F  G
 Many sur-vive.

And though you travel,
F   Em G
 Ma-ny roads.

 There's but one way and that's...the one...you chose.
