Pirate ships with jet black sails
               FF
Sirens clinging to the rails
        E minorEm
Broken victims walk the plank
 A minorAm         E7E7      FF
Before we struck the rock and sank

Verse:
        G+G
Washed up on a welcome beach

Where excise men could never reach

Riding horseback through the lanes

Soothed the traveller's aches and pains

Raising cattle, tending sheep
   C majorC
It's easier than losing sleep
  FF          G+G
The young girl's fancies loosely spun
  C majorC
The monkey and the damage done
  FF        G+G
The prisoner finally walking free
  C majorC
To spring in Little Italy

When in doubt, just make a list
A minorAm        E7E7     FF
All that was, was ever missed

Verse:
           G+G
The storm has finally come to pass
 C majorC
I pour my tears into the glass
  FF        G+G
You can't erase the lines of age
  C majorC
Or words upon the printed page
  FF       G+G
The dragonfly with folded wings
  C majorC                  FF
Has found the pleasure true love brings
           G+G
And while we live in Tiffany time
  C majorC                FF
The ring has stood the test of time
       G+G
Nowadays it's far more clear
   C majorC               FF
With all the loves I held so dear
        G+G
Swirling gently through the mist
   C majorC
With softer tongue and velvet fist
  FF          G+G
As though they seem to understand
  C majorC
It started out with nothing planned
  FF        E minorEm
The days are closing in so fast
   A minorAm        E7E7      FF
It's time to find some peace at last
