Chords with lyrics

INTRO: G, C, G, C,  F, C, G, C,  C majorC


     C majorC      E minorEm     FF      C majorC
Have you stood by the ocean, on a diamond-hard morning


  G+G      DmDm    C majorC      G+G
And felt the hor-izon stir deep in your soul


      C majorC     E minorEm      FF        C majorC
Watched the wake of a steamer as it cut through blue water

     E minorEm      DmDm    G+G       C majorC   (*)
And been gripped by a fever you just can't con-trol


   C majorC       E minorEm      FF      C majorC
Oh to throw off the shackles and fly with the seagulls


  E minorEm        DmDm       C majorC      G+G   (*)
To where green waves tumble before a driving sea wind


   C majorC     E minorEm      FF       C majorC
Or to lie on the decking on a warm summer's evening


     E minorEm      DmDm     C majorC     G+G    C majorC
Watch the red sun fall burning, be-neath the earth's rim


CHORUS:


  C majorC    E minorEm      FF      G+G
But to every sailor, comes time to drop anchor


C majorC      E minorEm     FF       G+G
Haul in the sails, and make the lines fast


  C majorC     G+G       FF     G+G
You deep water dreamer, your journey is over

    C majorC      G+G     FF   *
You're safe in the harbour at last


    C majorC      G+G     FF   *
You're safe in the harbour at last


NOTES:
- Commemorates Stan Roger's tragic death in 1983

SAFE IN THE HARBOUR (page 2)


C majorC      E minorEm      FF       C majorC
Some men are sailors, but most are just dreamers

   G+G      DmDm      C majorC       G+G
Held fast by the anchors they forge in their minds

      C majorC          E minorEm     FF     C majorC
Who in ther hearts know they'll never sail over deep water

  E minorEm      DmDm         G+G        C majorC   (*)
To search for a treasure they're a-fraid they won't find

  C majorC      E minorEm       FF       C majorC
So in sheltered harbours, they cling to their anchors

E minorEm       DmDm     C majorC        G+G   (*)
Bank down their boilers and shut down their steam

  C majorC      E minorEm      FF        C majorC
And wait for the sailors to re-turn with bright treasures

     E minorEm      DmDm     C majorC    G+G   C majorC
That will fan the dull embers and fire up their dreams

CHORUS:


  C majorC    E minorEm      FF      G+G
But to every sailor, comes time to drop anchor

C majorC      E minorEm     FF       G+G
Haul in the sails, and make the lines fast

  C majorC     G+G       FF     G+G
You deep water dreamer, your journey is over

    C majorC      G+G     FF   *
You're safe in the harbour at last

    C majorC      G+G     FF   *
You're safe in the harbour at last


  C majorC      E minorEm      FF      C majorC
And some men are schemers who laugh at the dreamers

     G+G       DmDm     C majorC     G+G
Take the gold from the sailors and turn it to dross

    C majorC    E minorEm       FF      C majorC
They're men in a prison, they're men without vision

   E minorEm    DmDm   G+G     C majorC   (*)
Whose only hor-izon is profit and loss

    C majorC         E minorEm    FF        C majorC
So when storm clouds come sailing a-cross your blue ocean

   E minorEm      DmDm      C majorC        G+G   (*)
Hold fast to your dreaming for all that your're worth

    C majorC        E minorEm          FF     C majorC
For as long as there's dreamers, there will always be sailors

     E minorEm        DmDm         C majorC    G+G C majorC
Bringing back their bright treasures from the corners of earth
