Far Too Wide For Me
(Honolulu On My Mind)

F                Am           Am7-5                 D7       Gm
I sit somewhere along the bay, and stare at islands far away.

                     Bbm6       G7               Gm7 C7 F
Their gray and misty outlines, appear way out to sea.   But clouds

           Am             Am7-5               D7              Gm
are never what they seem, and far off winds dissolve my dreams, I

                Bbm6      Gm7     C7       F  C7  F
do believe this ocean, is far too wide for me.....With Honolulu 

Am         Am7-5                 D7          Gm
on my mind, and someone there I left behind.  I wish that there

     Bbm6        G7              Gm7 C7 F                Am
were someway, to walk across the sea.   It seems to me I always lose.

                  D7               Gm                 Bbm6
When fighting any home-sick blues.  I do believe this ocean is 

Gm7     C7       F      Dm                G7    
far too wide for me.....I wish I could be watching, those blue 

C                    Bb                       F           Db
waters flow, as the tradewinds blow, all the clouds away.  And you

                                  Ab                  Bb        
would be there, sweet and lovely, by my side, as the sea birds glide,

       F               C7  F                   Am        Am7-5
as the palm trees sway.....But there is little I can do, except to

               D7             Gm                      Bbm6
dream when I'm feeling blue.  It seems that there are some things 

     G7              Gm7 C7 F              Am             Am7-5
that are not meant to be.  As I get up, I feel the chill.  What this

                       D7             Gm                  Bbm6
place needs is getting used to still.  I do believe this ocean, is

Gm7     C7       F ////  Gm7 // Gm7-5 // F / (rit.)
far too wide for me.
