I still remember the day, you were standin' on the kay
       A             E                    B
with tears in your eyes while the sirens yelled
        E
It was time to go aboard
         A               E             A                E
feir the well to you my love one last look in your sad eyes
                B

For the miles, I crawled the ocean

every sailor here(aboard) has got a leak in his heart

but no one's got a leak as big as mine
          E                            A           E
and they dream of their love, of their loved sweet heart
       A                  E               B
of the little girl in the harbor of their homes

Verse 2:
          E
too many years have passed by
         A              E
too much time upon the sea
         A           E               B
all the memories of you signing two decrees
     E                           A            E
the taste of your lips, and the smell of your hair
    A               E                     B
the longing in your voice as you said goodbye

For the miles, I crawled the ocean

walk all the miles, trying to kill me

walk all the miles over the sea
