-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tuning: Standard
Capo 2

VERSE 1
D           Bm             G         D
Cold is the clime when the autumn is turning
G           D             E              A7
Cuts to the bone when the wind starts to blow
D           Bm          G             D
Not long to go till the cold watch is over
G            D          E     A7     D
Then will be my turn to sleep down below
A                         Bm
At home Katie Ann and the girls will be sleeping
G           D            E           A7
Maybe right now they are dreaming of me
D            Bm         G             D
What would I give to be right there beside them
    G              D        E      A7     D
How strange when I am that I dream of the sea

CHORUS
               D        Bm G                D
For it's all I know the surf and the silver fishes
G                  D             E          A7
If I've taken from them, they've taken from me
      D            Bm             G         D
And I long for the landing on the key to be standing
        G         D            E     A7     D
For I'm weary of dancing to the tune of the sea

D Bm G A

VERSE 2
D            Bm            G              D
White horses prancing look fine from your window
G                 D         E         A7
But somehow their beauty is wasted on me
D               Bm             G             D
For when you're forced to look deep in their dark eyes
G                D          E   A7       D
Concern for your welfare is not what you see
    A                         Bm
The old trawler's mine, now I don't owe a penny
G                D          E           A7
There's only the diesel and pay for the crew
       D            Bm          G           D
But my debts to the sea still remain on the ledger
G              D                E    A7    D
And if they're called, what the hell can I do

CHORUS
               D        Bm G                D
For it's all I know the surf and the silver fishes
G                  D             E          A7
If I've taken from them, they've taken from me
      D            Bm             G         D
And I long for the landing on the key to be standing
        G         D            E     A7     D
For I'm weary of dancing to the tune of the sea
