Bm7add11 Esus4 It's like an underground river, or a hidden stream Ebm7b5 D7 That flows through your head, and haunts your dreams Bm7add11 Esus4 And you stuffed those dreams in this canvas sack AMaj7 G#m7add11 C#7 And there's nothing round here that the wide world lacks Bm7 E5 F#mF#m6aj7 And yet, and yet you're back B9b5 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 Esus4 Ebm7b5 D7 I'd wonder if she saw the same, or managed to recall my name Bm7add11 Esus4 AMaj7 G#m7add11 C#7 But why would she ever think of me? Some boy she loved who fled to sea? Bm7add11 C#m7 DMaj7 G#m7add1C#m7 And why waste time debating whether she'd be waiting for the likes of me? | F#mMaj7 F#m6 | x4 B9b5 So ye drift into port with the scum of the seas B9b5 To the dance halls and the brothels where you took your ease! F#m6 And the ship's left the dock but you're half past caring F#m6 And ye haven't got a clue whose bed you're sharing Bm7add11 Esus4 And your head's like a hammer on a bulkhead door Ebm7b5 D7 And it feels like somebody might have broken your jaw Bm7add11 Esus4 And there's bloodstains and glass all over the floor AMaj7 G#m7add11 C#7 And ye swear to God ye'll drink no more Bm7add11 EsC#m7add11 And yet, and yet *intro chords* In truth, it's too late to find her Bm7add11 EsuE4 Too late to remind her at some garden gate Ebm7b5 D7 Where a servant tells me I should wait Bm7add11 EsuE4 And perhaps a door's slammed in my face AMaj7 G#m7aC#71 My head must be in outer space Bm7add11 Esus4 And yet, and yet Ebm7b5 D7 Before the sun has set Bm7add11 C#m7 Before the sea DMaj7 Bm7 G#m7add11 There may be something else that's waiting for C#m7 FF#m6aj7 The likes of me *intro chords* This town, this stain on the sunrise | F#m6 |
