verse 1
D G
Oh my darling my dear I have reason to fear

But I’m soon to be loosening my moorings

D G D
And I pray when I’m gone you don’t feel I done you wrong

verse 4
D G D
For the day it will come when my traveling is done

And I’ll search for a light on the shoreline

Though I know your harbor slips hold vessels worthier than me
D A D
If there’s room would you cast to me your line
Chorus
G D
And I’ll hold on hope when I let you go
A Bm
Though you loved me well, I set out alone
G
And I will trust these winds
D
That they will not fail
A
Open up my heart
Bm
Let it be my sail
G A
Open up my heart
D
Let it be my sail
