[Intro]
| Dm | Am | Dm | Am |
| Dm | Am | Dm | Am |

[Verse 1]
    Dm        Am         Dm   Am
A Perfect Indian is he
    Dm               Am            Dm    Am
Remembering him life is sweet
        F                 C
Like a weeping willow
       Dm              Am
His face on my pillow
Dm                  Am             Dm      Am
Comes to me still in my dreams

[Verse 2]
        Dm             Am          Dm    Am
And there I saw a young baby
       Dm          Am              Dm    Am
A beautiful daughter was she
     F                   C
A face from a painting
        Dm                        Am
Red cheeks and teeth aching
       Dm             Am          Dm    Am
Her eyes like a wild Irish sea

[Verse 3]
          Dm       Am             Dm    Am
On a table in her yellow dress
            Dm              Am              Dm   Am
For a photograph feigned happiness
F                C                     Dm    Am
Why in my life is that the only time
         Dm             Am          Dm    Am
That any of you will smile at me

[Chorus]
        F  C                  Dm       Am
I'm sailing on this terrible ocean
        Dm               Am         Dm    Am
I've come for my self to retrieve
        Dm              Am               Dm             Am
Too long have I been feeling like Lir's children
                   Dm          Am            Dm   Am
And there's only one way to be free

[Instrumental]
| Dm | Am | Dm | Am |
| Dm | Am | Dm | Am |
| F | C | Dm | Am |
| Dm | Am | Dm | Am |

[Verse 4]
         Dm              Am         Dm    Am
He's shy and he speaks quietly
         Dm             Am              Dm    Am
He's gentle and he seems to me
F                  C
Like the elf-arrow
       Dm                    Am
His face worn and harrowed
     Dm           Am             Dm
Is he a daydreamer like me

[Outro]
        F C                    Dm       Am
I'm sailing on this terrible ocean
       Dm                Am        Dm    Am
I've come for my self to retrieve
        Dm              Am               Dm             Am
Too long have I been feeling like Lir's children
                    Dm          Am                Dm
And there's only one way to be free
