The Winter Crossing

by Billy Joel

403
[Intro]
Gm
 
[Verse 1]
                 Bb/C   Cm9
When I was just a boy I dreamt
    Ab   Eb      F
I'd run away to sea
     Gm               Bb/C    Cm9
And sign aboard some merchant ship
    Ab    Eb    F     Bb
And sail across   the ocean
 
[Verse 2]
    Gm         Bb/C   Cm9
When I became a man I put
     Ab       Eb     F
My childhood things away
     Gm              Bb/C    Cm9
And gave up all the dreams I had
    Ab     Eb F     Bb
Of sailing on   the ocean
 
[Chorus 1]
   C7/Bb
So long, so long
  F/A             Dm7                Gsus4 G
I wave goodbye to my old friend the sea
     Bb7/Ab          Gm7
It's winter time and you know
 Gm         Cm7 Cm     G/D D
I'm not what I used to be
 
[Verse 3]
    Gm             Bb/C  Cm9
Sometimes I feel so far away
     Ab      Eb      F
From all the ones I love
     Gm               Bb/C      Cm9
The storm that raged along this coast
     Ab     Eb  F       Bb
Keep every ship   from sailing
 
[Verse 4]
    Gm
And who would brave
  Bb/C  Cm9     Ab Eb    F
A voyage in the January gales
    Gm           Bb/C   Cm9
The boy who ran away to sea
     Ab       Eb F   Bb
Can make the winter crossing
 
[Chorus 2]
    C7/Bb
Come on, come on
    F/A
He cried, come with me
Dm7               Gsus4 G
    To the other shore
    Bb7/Ab              Gm7     Gm
But I've been gone too long to make
Cm7          Cm      G/D D
    The crossing anymore
 
[Outro]
Gm Bb/C Cm9 Ab Eb F Gm Bb/C Cm9 Ab Eb F Bb
