Over The Waves

Intro: Drone D X 4

 

Over the waves, And on toward sunset

 

He sails along, His day is not done yet

 

Heading for home, And his place by the fire

 

Riding the waves, to his heart’s desire

 

Oh O Oh (Fmaj 7 –Gmaj7) X 2

 

Up from behind

A following wind

The sound of the rigging

beginning to sing

 

How dark the horizon

The sea she’s a-risin

Where there’s a-lee

That’s where we should be

 

A storm overtaking

 The Sea’s mood had changed

Calm seas to madness

The blue deep deranged

 

We’re tipped and we’re tossed

At times surely lost

As we cling to hope like

We cling to our breath

 

Drone D X 4

 

Lead over D pattern

Lead over Am C

 

Oh O Oh (Fmaj 7 –Gmaj7) X 4

STOP!

 

Drone D

 

The sea spray is fading

A shoreline is shading

To be home again

Is the treasure we’re seeking

 

Repeat instrumentally

 

Visions of home

Of joy and of laughter

These are the strengths

That held off the hereafter

 

Repeat instrumentally

 

Strong D

Yet just like the waves

That crash on the shore

We must sail away

To the sea

 Evermore
