Introduction:  D7M   G6   F#m7      D7M   G6   F#m7     

 G6                                     Bb9             G6                             Bb9 
Away from the city       the hurts and knocks
           G6                       Bb9                   G6                       Bb9 
I'm standing alone by the desolate docks
                 G6                       Bb9                   G           Bb9 
In the still and the chill of the night
 G6                               Bb9               G6                         Bb9 
I see the horizon,     the great unknown
         G6                                   Bb9                               G6             Bb9 
My heart has an ache, it's as heavy as stone
                             G6                         Bb9                             G6 
Will the dawn coming on make it last
Melody
 Em7(9)  Em7           A7(13)             A7   D7M           G6                   F#m7      
I cover the waterfront,               I'm watching the sea
 Em7           G/B                 A7         D6                D     D6 
Will the one that I love be coming back to me
 Em7(9)  Em7             A7(13)             A7   D                 G                     F#m7      
I     cover the waterfront,                   in search of my love
                 Em7                   G/B             A7     D         Gm   D 
And I'm covered by a deep blue sky above
Bridge
 Em7       A7   D7M               B7 
Here am I, patiently waiting
 Em7                 A7                           D7M               Bm7 
Hoping and longing   oh, how I yearn
 B7                                               E7M                   C#m 
Where are you,     are you forgetting
 A                     B7                           A7(13)               A7 
Do you remember,     will you return
 Em7(9)  Em7           A7(13)           A7           D                   F#m7 
I   cover the waterfront,       I'm watching the sea
                Em                   Em7                 G               A4/7         A7   D 
'Cause the one that I love will soon come back   to me
