[G] [Em] [C] [Bm] [G] [Am] [C] [G]

[VERSE]
There's a light in the [Em]distant [C]darkness to[Bm]night
[C]Soon we'll be [Em]there, to[Am]morrow I [D]swear
May the [G]light in your [Em]heart and your [C]eyes be as [Bm]bright
[G]This is my [Am]silent [C]prayer [G]

[VERSE]
So rest, baby rest, by the [C]shining be [Bm]blest
[Em]Never in [Bm]shadows [C]lost
This [Em]lone holy [Bm]candle is [C]guiding us [Bm]on
[G]Under the [C]Southern [G]Cross [C] [G]

[VERSE]
There were birds in the [Em]twilight, [C]wheeling on [Bm]high
[C]Like Noah's [Em]sign, their [Am]freedom was [D]mine
And al[G]though they were [Em]wandering [C]in a strange [Bm]sky
[G]Theirs was the [Am]far shore[C]line [G]

[VERSE]
So hush, baby, hush, in the [C]wing sounding [Bm]rush
[Em]Never in [Bm]sunset [C]lost
These [Em]cloud-dwelling [Bm]dreamers are [C]guiding us [Bm]on
[G]Under the [C]Southern [G]Cross

[Em][Ver[Bm]se] [C] [Bm] [G] [C] [G]
And this ship has seen [Em]glory, [C]heartache and [Bm]mirth
[C]Sunlight and [Em]hail, through [Am]doldrums and [D]gale
Though she's [G]ten thousand [Em]miles from the [C]land of her [Bm]birth
[G]On through this [Am]night we [C]sail [G]

[VERSE]
So sleep, baby, sleep, by the [C]wind and the [Bm]deep
[Em]Never a[Bm]gain be [C]tossed
This [Em]proud weary [Bm]traveller's [C]taking us [Bm]home
[G]Under the [C]Southern [G]Cross [Em] [Bm] [C] [Bm]
[G]Under the [C]Southern [G]Cross
