C (Cmaj7) Dm Dm7/A
The harbour lights were shining, the moon was in it's high,
Gsus4GC (G7)
The captain said, "Thank God we're home, we've drunk the barrels dry!"
ch /ch
C (Cmaj7) Dm Dm7/A
The mizzen-mast was shaken, and the lanterns all burnt low,
Gsus4GC (C/G)
I never thought we'd make it, but we've twenty leagues to go,
Em (Em7) Am
So blow, you southern trades, and guide me safely to the shore,
(Am7) D7 (D7sus4)(D7) GG7
I'm never, ever, gonna sail the seven seas no more-----!
CCmaj7
I know I'm gonna miss the sand in my hair,
Em7Fmaj7
The roll of the tide, and the salt in the air,
Dm7G
But, deep inside, it's true,
F/CG7CG7
I'm a home lovin' man, coming on home to you,
CCmaj7
I know I'm gonna miss the wind in my eyes,
Em7Fmaj7
The shimmer of light when the seagull flies,
Dm7G
Al - though I've travelled far,
DGFDC7
I'm a home lovin' man, and home is where you are--------------!

C (Cmaj7) Dm Dm7/A
The crowd upon the quayside, their faces long and drawn,
Gsus4GC (G7)
Are suddenly a - wakened, as we sail in on the dawn,
ch /ch
C (Cmaj7) Dm Dm7/A
The wives, the sons, the lovers, who never gave up hope,
Gsus4GC (C/G)
All breathe a sigh to - gether as they reach to catch the rope,
Em (Em7) Am
God bless you, southern trades, you've got me safely back this time,
(Am7) D7 (D7sus4) (D7) GG7
Oh, you'll never have the need a - gain to save this soul of mine----!
CCmaj7
I know I'm gonna miss the sand in my hair,
Em7Fmaj7
The roll of the tide, and the salt in the air,
Dm7G
But, deep inside, it's true,
F/CG7CG7
I'm a home lovin' man, coming on home to you,
CCmaj7
I know I'm gonna miss the wind in my eyes,
Em7Fmaj7
The shimmer of light when the seagull flies,

Al - though I've travelled far,

I'm a home lovin' man, and home is where you are--------------!

Yes, I know I'm gonna miss the sand in my hair,
