Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Intro:
F C Dm C A# C

Verse 1:
 F            Dm              C
Here stand I sand between my toes
  A#                       C
Longing for the home that I have never known
  F                  Dm         C
Worn down shoes and worn down clothes
     A#          Dm             C
And no where to lay down my worn down bones
  A#              C      F
Nowhere to lay down my bones

  Dm                  A#          F
There stands Billy a gleam in his eye
 Dm                 A#        C
One leg short and glass drunk dry
   Dm           F              Dm          F
He smells like sea shells sleeps under the sky
          A#         F            C
And he'll play that tune til the day he dies
      A#          C                 F
He'll play that tune til the day he dies

Chorus:
   Dm       F       A#      F
Oh roll you rolling waters
    Dm
And Billy, play us a tune
           A#         F
Won't you play it for me
   A#           Dm
I long for the sea
     A#      F        C
And nobody plays like you, like you
 A#      C         F
Nobody plays like you

Instrumental:
F C Dm C A# C F

Verse 2:
      F         C            Dm             C
It's sixteen years since we sailed the salt seas
    A#               F        C
And time's been no friend to you or to me
      F                     Dm            C
It's sixteen years since we sailed to the sun
    A#           F      C
And Billy what have we done, done, done
  A#        C       F
Billy what have we done?

    Dm               A#     F
Oh, play to me that melody
    Dm              A#      C
Of waters sweet and waters deep
    Dm       F           Dm      F
It rolls me away to the rolling waves
   A#       F     C
It rolls me down to my sleep
   A#       C          F
It rolls me down to my sleep

Outro:
   Dm       F       A#      F
Oh roll you rolling waters
    Dm
And Billy, play us a tune
           A#         F
Won't you play it for me
   A#           Dm
I long for the sea
     A#      F        C
And nobody plays like you, like you
 A#      C         F
Nobody plays like you
