     *intro chords*
This town, this stain on the sunrise
         Bm7Bm7
Disguised in the mist this morning
   Esus4Esus4 E MajorE   AMaj7  G#m7add11 C#7C#7
It's 8AM,   a seagull shouts  a sailor's warning

     *intro chords*
This sky, this bend in the river
         Bm7Bm7      Esus4Esus4      E MajorE
Slows down and delivers me, the tide rolls back
  AMaj7  G#m7add11 C#7C#7
And all my memories  fade to black


   Bm7Bm7   E5E5   F#mMaj7 F#m6F#m6 F#mMaj7 F#m6F#m6
And yet, and yet I'm back


   B9b5B9b5
This town has a strange magnetic pull
    B9b5B9b5
Like a homing signal in your skull
     *intro chords*
And you sail by the stars of the hemisphere
     *intro chords*
Wondering how in the Hell did ye end up here?
       Bm7add11         Esus4Esus4
It's like an underground river, or a hidden stream
    Ebm7b5Ebm7b5                  D7D7
That flows through your head, and haunts your dreams
     Bm7add11          Esus4Esus4
And you stuffed those dreams in this canvas sack
       AMaj7  G#m7add11  C#7C#7
And there's nothing round here that the wide world lacks

   Bm7Bm7   E5E5     F#mMaj7 F#m6F#m6 F#mMaj7 F#m6F#m6
And yet, and yet you're back


   B9b5B9b5
Some nights I'd lie on the deck and I'd stare at the turning of the stars
             *intro chords*
Those constellations hanging up there from the cables and the rigging
   Bm7add11       Esus4Esus4  Ebm7b5Ebm7b5        D7D7
I'd wonder if she saw the same, or managed to recall my name
     Bm7add11    Esus4Esus4      AMaj7  G#m7add11 C#7C#7
But why would she ever think of me? Some boy she loved who fled to sea?
   Bm7add11    C#m7C#m7      DMaj7      G#m7add11 C#m7C#m7
And why waste time debating whether she'd be waiting for  the likes of me?

    B9b5B9b5
So ye drift into port with the scum of the seas
    B9b5B9b5
To the dance halls and the brothels where you took your ease!
     F#m6F#m6
And the ship's left the dock but you're half past caring
    F#m6F#m6
And ye haven't got a clue whose bed you're sharing
     Bm7add11             Esus4Esus4
And your head's like a hammer on a bulkhead door
         Ebm7b5Ebm7b5              D7D7
And it feels like somebody might have broken your jaw
       Bm7add11            Esus4Esus4
And there's bloodstains and glass all over the floor
     AMaj7  G#m7add11 C#7C#7
And ye swear to God ye'll drink no more


   Bm7add11 Esus4Esus4 G#m7add11 C#m7C#m7
And yet, and yet


     *intro chords*
In truth, it's too late to find her
        Bm7add11        Esus4Esus4 E MajorE
Too late to remind her at some garden gate
     Ebm7b5Ebm7b5          D7D7
Where a servant tells me I should wait
    Bm7add11          Esus4Esus4 E MajorE
And perhaps a door's slammed in my face
  AMaj7   G#m7add11 C#7C#7
My head must be    in outer space


   Bm7add11 Esus4Esus4
And yet, and yet
  Ebm7b5Ebm7b5      D7D7
Before the sun has set
  Bm7add11 C#m7C#m7
Before the sea
    DMaj7      Bm7Bm7         G#m7add11
There may be something else that's waiting for
   C#m7C#m7   F#mMaj7 F#m6F#m6 F#mMaj7 F#m6F#m6
The likes of me

      *intro chords*
This town, this stain on the sunrise
