Outward Bound - by Tom Paxton

(C)Outward bound, upon a ship that sails an ocean,
Outward
(G)bound, it has no crew but me and (C)you.
All alone,
When just a minute ago the shore was filled with
(G)people.
With people that we
(C)knew.

Outward bound, upon a journey without ending.
Outward bound, uncharted waters beneath our bows.
Far behind,
The green familiar shore is fading into time,
And time has left us none.

So fare(G)well, adieu, so long my cam(F)e(C)os.
May they
(G)find whatever they are looking (C)for.
Remember when
The wine was better than ever again,
We could not
(G)ask,
We could not ask for
(C)more.

Outward bound, upon a ship with tattered sail,
Outward bound, along a crocked lonesome trail.
Things we learned,
Will just be satisfied in knowing,
And we'll tell it to your kids as a fairy tale.

So farewell, adieu, so long my cameos.
May they find whatever they are looking for.
Remember when
The wine was better than ever again,
We could not ask,
We could not ask for more.
