Judy Collins - Drifting Away
CAPO: 2nd Fret
[Intro]
G
[Verse 1]
Out on a blue southern ocean
     F               C
I am humbled looking skyward
  F             C
Beholden to the current
F             C             G
Floating on a gentle summer wave
             D              G
Dreaming the day, drifting away
[Verse 2]
Nothing to do but do nothing
       F                C
In the stillness of the moment
       F               C
In the kindness of the sun
        F            C       G
Just to be, the only thing I crave
             D              G
Dreaming the day, drifting away
[Verse 3]
It's been a long lonely winter
          F          C
Though my body had recoiled
        F             C
I’m now opened by the water
  F            C
Renewed with a purpose
       F                C             G
I'll return to you, the love that you gave
              D              G
Embracing the day, drifting away
[Instrumental]
C      G    F  C  F  C  F  C   G      D
[Verse 4]
           G
There is a cloud hanging over
    F            C
But I am looking past her
F               C
Though she is majestic
       F            C
To the endless sky above
      F                   C             G
And I feel I've found the courage to be brave
             D              G
Dreaming the day, drifting away
             D              G
Dreaming the day, drifting away
