I don't see the lyrics posted online anywhere otherwise I would copy and paste. Archie sings this in the key of B flat. I am not enough of an expert in open tunings to know whether he plays in DADGAD with a capo on the first fret , or whether he uses some other alternate tuning. If you post the lyrics, I will post the chords as if the song were in the key of G in standard tuning ... to get to B flat, as I am sure you know, you just put the capo on the third fret, and play the same chords. |

WINDWARD AWAY (Archie Fisher) Love will come and love will go As the seas roll on forever And lost love has the everlasting flow Of a neverending river And it's not an easy reckoning But sometimes I have the notion That womenkind, in heart and mind Sails on a restless ocean For a tallship came from windward away On a gray Atlantic morning She showed no lights or colours In the hour before the dawning On a full-rigged run to the rising sun She reached our starboard quarter And I'll ne'r forget the name she wore She was called the Neptune's Daughter Her sails were white as ivory And her rigging sang like harp strings Her spars were black as ebony And her wheels spun free of lashings Her cloak of gray was the spindrift spray As she split the waves asunder I can see her now as she crossed our bow While we gazed in silent wonder Her course was set by destiny And no helmsman's hand could change her We hailed her and we signalled "You are standing into danger" But she left us free on the westerly And I watched her pale sails sinking And if only I was upon her deck Was all that I was thinking Love will come and love will go As the years roll on forever And lost love has the everlasting flow Of a neverending river And it's not an easy reckoning But sometimes I have the notion That womenkind, in her heart and mind Is a tall ship on the ocean |
