The Surf and the Silver Fishes - The Clydesiders
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tuning: Standard
Capo 2
VERSE 1
D MajorD B minorBm G+G D MajorD
Cold is the clime when the autumn is turning
G+G D MajorD E MajorE A7A7
Cuts to the bone when the wind starts to blow
D MajorD B minorBm G+G D MajorD
Not long to go till the cold watch is over
G+G D MajorD E MajorE A7A7 D MajorD
Then will be my turn to sleep down below
A augmentedA B minorBm
At home Katie Ann and the girls will be sleeping
G+G D MajorD E MajorE A7A7
Maybe right now they are dreaming of me
D MajorD B minorBm G+G D MajorD
What would I give to be right there beside them
G+G D MajorD E MajorE A7A7 D MajorD
How strange when I am that I dream of the sea
CHORUS
D MajorD B minorBm G+G D MajorD
For it's all I know the surf and the silver fishes
G+G D MajorD E MajorE A7A7
If I've taken from them, they've taken from me
D MajorD B minorBm G+G D MajorD
And I long for the landing on the key to be standing
G+G D MajorD E MajorE A7A7 D MajorD
For I'm weary of dancing to the tune of the sea
D MajorD B minorBm G+G A augmentedA
VERSE 2
D MajorD B minorBm G+G D MajorD
White horses prancing look fine from your window
G+G D MajorD E MajorE A7A7
But somehow their beauty is wasted on me
D MajorD B minorBm G+G D MajorD
For when you're forced to look deep in their dark eyes
G+G D MajorD E MajorE A7A7 D MajorD
Concern for your welfare is not what you see
A augmentedA B minorBm
The old trawler's mine, now I don't owe a penny
G+G D MajorD E MajorE A7A7
There's only the diesel and pay for the crew
D MajorD B minorBm G+G D MajorD
But my debts to the sea still remain on the ledger
G+G D MajorD E MajorE A7A7 D MajorD
And if they're called, what the hell can I do
CHORUS
D MajorD B minorBm G+G D MajorD
For it's all I know the surf and the silver fishes
G+G D MajorD E MajorE A7A7
If I've taken from them, they've taken from me
D MajorD B minorBm G+G D MajorD
And I long for the landing on the key to be standing
G+G D MajorD E MajorE A7A7 D MajorD
For I'm weary of dancing to the tune of the sea
REPEAT CHORUS
