SAILING (Beyond the Sea)

[mahayana]

Beyond the Sea


E C#m A B7 E C#m
Somewhere beyond the sea,

A B7 E G#7 C#m
Somewhere waiting for me,

B7 E C#m A C#7 F#m
My lover stands on golden sands

B7 Cdim C#m A F#7 B7
And watches the ships that go sail - ing.


E C#m A B7 E C#m
Somewhere beyond the sea,

A B7 E G#7 C#m
She's there, watching for me.

B7 E C#m A C#7 F#m
If I could fly like birds on high,

B7 Cdim C#m A B7 E E7
Then straight to her arms I'd go sail - ing.


Bridge:

A F#m7 Dm6 E7 AM7 F#m7
It's far, beyond a star,

D6 E7 A AM7 F#m7 G7
It's near, beyond the moon;

C Am7 F G7 C Am7
I know beyond a doubt

F G7 Gdim Cdim B7
My heart will lead me there soon.


E C#m A B7 E C#m
We'll meet beyond the shore,

A B7 E G#7 C#m
We'll kiss, just as before;

B7 E C#m A C#7 F#m
Happy we'll be, beyond the sea,

B7 Cdim C#m A F#7 - B7 E
And never a - gain I'll go sail - ing.

I found this arrangement on the net, sorry about the chords not sitting in the right place over the words. If you know the tune, just change chords every two beats and you'll get the idea.

I learned this song from Bobby Darin's version, but investigating on Google shows Billy Holiday and lots of others who recorded it.

It's a simple melody (like Fly Me To The Moon), and the real interest is in how you modulate after the last two notes. In E they are either F# E or F# B.

I do this a little differently than the example. When the last two notes are F# down to B, I modulate the key up a half-step.

Anyway, hope you enjoy this one.

Anybody feel like playing along with Bobby Darin and pointing out the wrong chords in the fakesheet above?

I bet this is one of your big band songs, prof. What about you, JA? Do you play this standard?

My way, you change keys every section, for as long as you want to make it last, LOL.
