  way     from    me


   [Guitar Figure 3]
And never come back if you find another galaxy

[Guitar Figure 3]
Far from here with more room to fly

    [Guitar Figure 3]
Just leave me your stardust to remember you by


[play: Guitar Figure 1]  [x2]


VERSE2:
Notes:
Play as for VERSE1.

   [Guitar Figure 1]
If you'll be my boat, I'll be your sea

  [Guitar Figure 1]
A depth of pure blue just to probe curiosity

[Guitar Figure 1]
Ebbing and flowing and pushed by a breeze

 [Guitar Figure 2]
I live to make you free
 [Guitar Figure 1]
I live to make you free


CHORUS2:
Notes:
Play as for VERSE1.

   [Guitar Figure 3]
But you can set sail to the west if you want to

   [Guitar Figure 3]
And pass the horizon, 'til I can't even see you

[Guitar Figure 3]
Far from here, where the beaches are wide

    [Guitar Figure 3]
Just leave me your wake to remember you by


[repeat VERSE1]


[repeat CHORUS1]

[Guitar Figure 3]
     Stardust to remember you by
