Here's a link to Genesis having a rough acoustic practise where Phil
sings it in D, the key I've transcribed it in, so without the capo.

=======================================================================

[Verse 1]
Dmaj7/A                 Amaj7   A7sus4            D
Bluegirls come in every size,   some are wise and some otherwise,
         F#m7              Cm6                   D/C
They got pretty blue eyes, for an hour a man may change,
Cm6                         Bb            C              F
For an hour her face looks strange, looks strange, looks strange

[Verse 2]
Dmaj7/A                  Amaj7
Marching to the promised land,
          A7sus4           D
Where the honey flows, and takes you by the hand,
          F#m7                Cm6                           D/C
Pulls you down on your knees, while you're down a pool ap - pears,
    C#dim                   Dm          C#dim
The face in the water looks up, and she shakes her head,
         Bb                 C7/Bb                      A7sus4 A7
As if to say, that it's the last time you'll look like to   - day!'  

[Chorus]
Gmaj7          A/G   Dmaj7              D7
Sail away, a - way,  ripples never come back,
Em7               E7sus4  E7  Gmaj7          A/G    D
Gone to the other side,       sail away, a - way

[Verse 3]
    Dmaj7/A                       Amaj7
The face that launched a thousand ships,
   A7sus4             D
Is sinking fast, that happens you know,
    F#m7              Cm6                     D/C
The water gets below, seems not very long a - go,
     Cm6                      Bb     C         F
When lovelier she was ...than any ...that I ...know

[Verse 4]
Dmaj7/A                Amaj7      A7sus4  
Angels never know it's time ...to close the book,
    D                       F#m7
And gracefully decline, the song has found a tale,
Cm6                             D/C 
     My, what a jealous pool is she,
    C#dim                      Dm      C#dim
The face ...in the water looks up, she shakes her head,
         Bb              C7/Bb                   A7sus4 A7
As if to say ...that the bluegirls have all gone a    - way

[Chorus]
Gmaj7          A/G   Dmaj7              D7
Sail away, a - way,  ripples never come back,
        Em7               E7sus4   E7
They've gone to the other side--------,
Gmaj7         A/G   Dmaj7              D7
Look into the pool, ripples never come back,
Em7
Dive to the bottom, and go to the top,
   E7sus4              E7
To see where they have gone,
            Gmaj7             A/G     D
Oh, they've gone to the other side!

Ripples never come back, come back!
