[Chorus]
D                         G
Follow in my wake, you've not that much at stake
            D                                         A
For I have plowed the seas and smoothed the troubled waters
      D                              G
Come along, let's have some fun, the hard work has been done
                D            A           G   D
We'll barrel roll into the sun, just for starters

[Verse 1]
             Bm      D
Just for starters, barometer's my soup
       Bm            D
I'm descended from a deckhand on a sloop
F#m                 Bm     F#m                 Bm
 I travel on the songlines  that only dreamers see
G                          A
 Not known for predictibility

[Chorus]
         D                          G
Come and follow in our wake, you've not that much at stake
             D                                         A
For we have plowed the seas and smoothed the troubled waters
      D                             G
Come along, let's have some fun, it seems our work is done
                D            A           G   D
We'll barrel roll into the sun, just for starters

[Verse 2]
            Bm             D
Sail the main course, in a simple sturdy craft
        Bm                      D
Keep it well stocked with short stories and long laughs
F#m                  Bm       F#m                   Bm
 Go fast enough to get there,  but slow enough to see
G                             A
 Moderation seems to be the key

[Bridge]
F#7sus         F#7        Bm
    Constantly searchin',     oh, my eyes have seen some horizons
F#7sus                   F#7                      Bm
    And I've crossed the ocean for more than just thrills
F#7sus              F#7    Bm  A            G
    No, I'm not the first,     won't be the last
D/A                             A
    You lust for the future but   treasure the past

[Chorus]
D                         G
Follow in my wake, you've not as much at stake
            D                                         A
For I have plowed the seas and smoothed the troubled waters
      D                              G
Come along, let's have some fun, the hard work has been done
                D            A           G      D
We'll barrel roll into the sun, just for starters
                D            A           G      D
We'll barrel roll into the sun, just for starters
                D            A           G      D
We'll barrel roll into the sun, just for starters
