[Intro]

N.C.

Was homeward bound, one night on the deep

N.C.

Swinging in my hammock, I fell asleep

Gm7 Gm6 Gm7 Gm6 Gm7

[Verse]

Gm6 Gm7 Gm6 Gm7

Across the ocean we set sail

Gm6 Gm7 Gm6 Gm7

It was a rough and mighty sea

Gm6 Gm7 Gm6

Our strength and courage beat the gale

Gm7 Gm6 Gm7 Gm6 D

Till our ship she landed free

[Verse]

A D G

I sail my vessel for the lord in Banbury

C G D

So not come to harm

A D G

It was my calling from the start, my destiny

C G Bm

In a sea of calm

[Chorus]

And I dream at night

Of those frozen wastes

Of that curtained sky

In it's shimmering state

Land of great white bears

Across that crystal ball

Like a snowflake's fall

C Gm7

I'm already there

[Verse]

Gm6 Gm7 Gm6 Gm7

At Hudson Bay we made our camp

Gm6 Gm7 Gm6 Gm7

To heal our wounds and take on stores

Gm6 Gm7 Gm6

With native Indians as our guides

Gm7 Gm6 Gm7 Gm6 D

We found the copper mine shore

[Verse]

Gm6 Gm7 Gm6 Gm7

We headed down to Canada

Gm6 Gm7 Gm6 Gm7

Our bow was breaking through the ice

Gm6 Gm7 Gm6

And it got thicker when we stopped

Gm7 Gm6 Gm7 Gm6 D

Held in a frozen vice

[Verse]

A D G

I wonder how you are, across the mighty sea

C G D

Through the turquoise spray

A D G

And all the people that you meet, a lot like me

C G Bm

Is there much to say

[Chorus]

And I dream at night

Of those frozen wastes

Of that curtained sky

In it's shimmering state

Land of great white bears

Across that crystal ball

Like a snowflake's fall

I'm already there

Franklin said we had to leave

Gm6 Gm7 Gm6 Gm7

And take our chance with dog and sled

Gm6 Gm7 Gm6

I thought of you and hoped you'd pray for me

Gm7 Gm6 Gm7 Gm6 D

We are brothers, come what may

[Verse]

A D G

So much goodwill out in the streets of this old town

C G D

As people ask your name

A D G

So many thoughts, my humble prayers go out to you

C G Bm

On that ice bound plain

[Chorus]

And I dream at night

Of those frozen wastes

Of that curtained sky

In it's shimmering state

Land of great white bears

Across that crystal ball

Like a snowflake's fall

I'm already there
