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

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

He'll play that tune til the day he dies

  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

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

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
