Intro
A minorAm E minorEm F/CF/C C/GC/G
A minorAm E minorEm F/CF/C
C/GC/G G+G F/CF/C x2

  A minorAm     E minorEm     F/CF/C    C/GC/G
As ships sail away I grow tired and gray
   A minorAm     E minorEm     F/CF/C
this story has always been true
      A minorAm    E minorEm    F/CF/C  C/GC/G
and it’s a long way down each time around
   A minorAm      E minorEm    F/CF/C
it’s something you never get used to
    A minorAm     E minorEm      F/CF/C   C/GC/G
Well I fell like a fool for the one and only
    A minorAm      E minorEm      F/CF/C
I made peace with a haunting old friend
      A minorAm     E minorEm      F/CF/C   C/GC/G
and as the first drops fell our last words sailed
   A minorAm     E minorEm      F/CF/C
they sit with me still in the sand

Instrumental
Em/GEm/G Dm/F x4

A minorAm  E minorEm     F/CF/C    C/GC/G
Forty days, boys, and forty nights
  A minorAm       E minorEm      F/CF/C
the ship tossed and turned two by two
     A minorAm      E minorEm     F/CF/C     C/GC/G
they say heaven poured down on our poor little heads
    A minorAm   E minorEm  F/CF/C
and the world began anew
A minorAm   E minorEm    F/CF/C    C/GC/G     A minorAm
Golden shores
I want no more in my time
E minorEm   F/CF/C
than time to tell
A minorAm   E minorEm       F/CF/C       C/GC/G
high on the mountain is each mark shown
    A minorAm   E minorEm       F/CF/C
as the wind is blown from our sails

A minorAm E minorEm F/CF/C C/GC/G A minorAm E minorEm F/CF/C x2

End with
C/GC/G G+G F/CF/C
