G                       G/C   C 
If I had been born 200 years ago 
    G                           A           D 
I would have been a sailor, a-Sailing I would go 
          G                G/F#              G      G/F#        C 
I'd sail around the capes across the seven seas and then back home 
G                   D         G 
If I had been born 200 years ago 


G                                    G/C               C 
and I would know the waters and the waters would know me 
         G                               A            D 
I would cut across the waves and be as happy as can be 
        G             G/F#            G         G/F#   C 
Id be landless Id be loveless Id be flight and fancy free 
G                                    D              G 
and would know the waters and the waters would know me 


G                                          G/C         C 
And when I think about the place and time were I was born 
G                                          A                   D 
well I wonder if the hands of fate have slipped and placed me wrong  
                G                 G/F#                G       G/F#     C 
cos there are ships I could have sailed and sailors boots I could've worn 
G                                 D               G 
when I think about the place and time were I was born 


G                                    G/C          C 
But the ocean is still out there magnificent and wide 
G                                A                D 
With open arms to hold me, and endless space to hide, 
          G               G/F#              G       G/F#   C 
And the only things that hold me back are things I hold inside 
     G                           D            G 
The ocean is still out there magnificent and wide
