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
