Discovery by Chris De Burgh
CAPO: 5th Fret
C F C
Lady love, go back to sleep, dry the tears from your eyes,
Am Em Dm7 G
But I cannot stay with thee until the morning,
Fmaj7 Am G6 Em F
For the dawn is breaking, and my ship is waiting for me, and I must go,
C F G
But I'll be back, yes, before this year is over
C F C
And we sailed across the sea, ‘till we found America,
Am Em Dm7 G
'Round the Cape of Storms we set our sails for home,
Fmaj7 Am G6 Em F
And when the sea was roaring, and the Lord I called to help my drowning men,
C F G
I saw the light, yes, the candle in your window

And I have brought you silver, and I have brought you gold,
C G F C/G - G
And spices from the Indies in the hold
C Em F C Em F
I've seen ships on the horizon, that I'd swear were going down,
C G F C/G - G
But now I know for certain, the world is round,
F G C
I have seen, my eyes have seen.

"Oh, one day", says Galileo, "A man will reach the sky,"
C G F C/G - G
"And see the world completely, from outside"
C Em F C Em F
And gazing down from yonder, on a world of blue and green,
C G F C/G - G
He'll say with eyes of wonder, "I have seen,
F G C
I have seen, my eyes have seen".
