 As I lay dreaming in my bed across the great divide
Am7Am7           E minorEm      C majorC         E minorEm D/F#D/F#

 And in this vision of my home the shingle beach did ring

  I saw the lights along the pier, that made my senses sing

Through nights of mad youth, I have loved every sluice in your harbor

And in your wild sands from boyhood to man, strangers have found themselves fathers

 Take me back you rustic town, I miss your ma-gic charm
Am7Am7          E minorEm       C majorC           E minorEm D/F#D/F#
  Just to smell your candy floss or drink in the Skinners Arms

 No Cordon Bleu can match the beauty of your pies and peas

  I want to ride your fairground, take air along the quay
