Charles Aznavour — Take me along (lyrics and chords)

While listening to the song we realized that the lyrics circulating the web are in fact rather wrong in many places. We therefore tried to remedy the situation. The chords are not perfectly aligned, but you find your way around that…
Just a remainder for those, who don’t know the song and tend glance towards the horizon. This song is kind of a sailor’s anthem, in some circles at least. And lets not forget about the original French version. The English one is here.

INTRO: Am  E7  Am   E7

Am                          G                        Am  E7
On the docks where the boredom of life is all that I own
Am                                G                Am E7
I see boats coming in with the fruits of places unknown
F               G              F              G
I watch as they come from the world in the sun
F                       C
That I see, in my mind
F            G              F                G
But then it's farewell to this cold northern hell
C                      E7
They can leave far behind
Am                          G                Am   E7
Let me go where they go, let me fly the winds that they fly
 Am                     G                              Am
For to stay in this place will destroy a man such as I 

R:
Am        E7                  Am
Take me along, a long way from here,
            G7                C
take me along to a far away shore
                  E7          Am
When you're poor it's easy to bare
            F        E7   Am
with sunshine and soft summer air 

At the end of the day in a bar, with sailors I stand
And I talk about girls, about love a glass in my hand
But then in my dreams, I can travel at seas on a boat southern bound
And there I can hold all the magic and gold of the love I have found
When the bars on the Key side are closed  alone I remain
I continue to dream and each night the dream is the same 

R:

Very soon I will take any job or chance, that I can
Though I dream like a child for my dreams I'll work like an ant
Work and with pride for my ticket-to-ride where the sun shines for me
Surviving any storm, to be wild, to be warm, that's the way I must be
I'll be leaving behind no regrets and all of my past
And I'll go to the sea as I sail to freedom at last
