Capo 3 
 
Intro: C G D Em7 | C G D (x2) 
 
Verse 1:
C           G           D    Em7            C    
  There's a handwritten note pressed in the door 
   G               D 
  of her screened in porch 
C          G       D    Em7            C   G          D 
  And I am sailing away recalling that day miles from shore 
C         G             D         Em7        C      
  She was still wearing white and robins egg blue, 
   G            D 
  her grandmothers dress 
C             G          D         Em7        C       
  When I left early this year, how I wound up here 
G        D 
  is anyone's guess 
C        G              D         Em7           C    
When the new sites grow old and I start to feel cold 
               D 
I'll sail home again 

Chorus 1:
G            D 
  Goodbye Brielle 
     Am           C 
Only whispers can tell 
       G                            D 
Of the sweet dreams that we knew so well 
         Am                  C 
I'll see you around our dear ocean town 
    G                  D 
The frozen days we set ablaze 
        Am        C 
Sent me drifting away 
       G              
Like a butterfly you floated by 
    D 
And now you're alone 
       Am                  C 
I wish I knew when I'll be back again 
   Am         G          C 
So until then I wish you well 
D               
My dear Brielle 
 
C G D Em7 | C G D (x2) 
 
Verse 2 (same as verse 1):
 C          G        D        Em7         C     
  Strolling over the sand and cobblestone paths 
     G                D 
  that wind through the trees 
 C                  G            D           Em7        
  and breathing the sweet forest air makes a bluebird 
   C     G 
  aware that she could  
   D 
  be free 
  C        G         D              Em7           C      
  When the new sites grow old and I start to feel cold, 
              D 
  I'll sail home again 
 
Chorus 2:
G            D 
  Goodbye Brielle 
     Am           C 
Only whispers can tell 
       G                            D 
Of the sweet dreams that we knew so well 
         Am                  C 
I'll see you around our dear ocean town 
    G                  D 
The frozen days we set ablaze 
        Am        C 
Sent me drifting away 
       G              
Like a butterfly you floated by 
    D 
And now you're alone 
       Am                  C 
I wish I knew when I'll be back again 
   Am         G          C 
So until then I wish you well 
   Am         G          C 
So until then I wish you well 
  Am          G           C 
I love you my darling farewell 
D 
My dear Brielle

CAPO 5 
 
C                              G 
Sailboats wish that they were stars, 
          Am 
Floating softly in the sky 
 F 
Among our dreams that bid goodbye 
 
C                         G 
Moving through transparent space,  
          Am 
Drifting through the stratosphere 
  F                   G 
And onward 'till they disappear 
 
C                          G 
These continents from overhead 
           Am 
Look like tiny paper shapes 
F 
Intricately set in place 
 
C                      G 
Below the misty mountain clouds 
          Am 
Theres a lovely silver bay 
      F              G         C 
Where sunset sailors often hideaway 
 
F      C            G 
Scuba diver in the lock, 
F         C             G  
Speedboat driver on the dock 
F          C            G           Am             
Sailplane pilot in the blue take me up there with you 
F                  C               Am      G 
The world looks brighter from this high altitude 
 
F        C                  G 
I was walking through the trees (Sailboats wish they were stars) 
F            C                 G 
And I was swimming through the sea (Cause they don't know 
who they are) 
F       C                  G 
I was falling through the air 
         Am            F 
When it hit me right there... 
F           C          Am       G 
My eyes are tired; I don't even care 
 
Interlude: C G Am F }x2 G 
 
C                         G 
An airplane carried me to bed,  
         Am 
Where i slept above the coast  
     F 
And dreamt I had become a ghost 
 
C                          G 
I sailed above the frozen peaks, 
         Am 
Deep in cold cathedral caves 
  F                  G               C 
Across the hills and far beyond the waves 
 
F         C          G 
Take the car on the lawn 
F         C         G    
Fly the jet to the sun 
F                   C 
And bring the spacecraft 
    G                 Am             F 
in soon while I play chess with the moon 
F              C                  Am        G  
I feel like sleeping through this cold afternoon 
 
F        C G                             
Once in 1964 (Sailboats wish they were stars) 
F           C           G 
An actress ran on the shore (Cause they don't know who they are) 
F                   C        G 
And though you'll never return, 
            Am             
I love you Audrey Hepburn 
F           C            Am            G     
Sometimes I can see your face in the crowd 
 
F           C             G 
There are sailboats throughout this brilliant sky 
F           C             G 
But you cannot pick them out if you can't fly 
F              C             G 
I'm glad the Earth doesn't care 
  Am         
If I go up there 
F        C           Am              G            C 
If you want to just ask me and I'll take you along..
