INTRO: E minorEm C majorC E minorEm C majorC E MajorE


#1.
E MajorE
The night was black, rain fallin' down, looked
          D MajorD     E minorEm  C majorC E minorEm C majorC E minorEm
for my baby, she's nowhere....around.
E minorEm
Traced her footsteps down to the shore, afraid
       D MajorD    E minorEm C majorC
she's gone forever....more.

CHORUS:
A augmentedA                     E minorEm
I looked at the sea and it seemed to say, I took
   C majorC       E minorEm
your baby from you, away.
A augmentedA                  E minorEm
I heard a voice cryin' in the deep, come join me,
C majorC          E minorEm  C majorC E minorEm
baby, in my endless sleep.


#2.
      E MajorE
Why did we quarrel, why did we fight, why did I leave
   D MajorD   E minorEm   C majorC
her alone tonight?
E MajorE
That's why her footsteps ran into the sea, that's why
  E minorEm    D MajorD     E minorEm C majorC E minorEm C majorC
my baby has gone from me.


CHORUS:
A augmentedA                     E minorEm
I looked at the sea and it seemed to say, I took
   C majorC       E minorEm
your baby from you, away.
A augmentedA                  E minorEm
I heard a voice cryin' in the deep, come join me,
C majorC          E minorEm  C majorC E minorEm
baby, in my endless sleep.

* The Poppy Family left out the last verse and chorus.
 They are as follows (if you're interested.)
 The lyrics in last chorus are different from the others.

#3.
Ran into the water, heart full of fear, there in the
breakers I saw her near.
Reached for my darlin', held her to me, stole her away
from the angry sea.

CHORUS:
I looked at the sea and it seemed to say, you took your
baby from me, away.
My heart cried out, she's mine to keep, I saved my baby
from an endless sleep.

OUTRO:

Endless sleep, endless sleep..(Fade.) (Enjoy..KK.)
