🎸 Verse 1:
G                       D
She comes down from the mountain
G            C
Almost every night
G

With her old love letters
G                 D
Tight and bundled white
G                    D
As she stares at the sea
G                  C
Hoping it comes to be
C        G          C        D       G
That her lover some day will set her free


🎸 Verse 2:
G             D
Forsaken with chlld
G          C
Many years ago
C    G
With promises of fortune
G        D
Ready to behold
G                    D
Now she waits by the shore
G                         C
With these words so often said
C           G          C      D          G
I’ll be the rock, that slowly guides you home


🎸 Chorus:
G                C    G     C                D
And if you could read these words that she’s writing tonight
D         G           D          G/D
Somewhere lost on the sea of despair
G                C   G   C       D
And if you could see the way she needs him tonight
D      G           C    D       G
In her dreams that only two can share

🎸 Verse 3:
G           D
Captured by passion
G             C
Locked up far away
C       G
For the crime of believing
G               D
In the words of yesterday
G                     D
With letters from the heart
G                 C
Encumbered in her soul
C             G
She’ll be the rock
G    C      D          G
That always guides him home


🎸 Chorus:
G                C    G     C                D
And if you could read these words that she’s writing tonight

Somewhere lost on the sea of despair
G                C   G   C            D
And if you could see the way that she needs him tonight
D      G           C    D       G
In her dreams that only two can share
G                C   G   C            D
And if you could see the way that she needs him tonight
