Key: G
Introduction:
G A7 D C Bm
Here I stand alone again, reaching out across the room
C G A7 D G
Quietly the sun's gone down and sailors seek the harbour
A7 D C Bm
Look at us sailing in, decks awash but still afloat
C G D G
And now the wind's come up to rock us on the water
Bm C G
Riding out the storm like a ship safe at anchor
Bm C D G
Waiting out the long voyage, 'round the Cape of Hope we'll take her
A7 D C Bm
In the calm before the storm, sunny days and smoother waters
C G A7 D G
When we hit the seventh wave, we found a line and caught her
A7 D C Bm
Look into my eyes, let me see where you've been sailing
C G D G
Like you, I've felt the storm and heard the wild waves wailing
Bm C G
Riding out the storm like a ship safe at anchor
Bm C D G
Waiting out the long voyage, 'round the Cape of Hope we'll take her
A7 D C
Steer clear of the shore, the coast is rough and rocky
Bm C G A7 D G
It's the deepest channel that runs most true, the brightest stars that mark her
A7 D C
Steady as she goes, there's no turning back the sailors
Bm C G D G
With the ship on course and the sea wind fair, there's no need to fail her
Bm C G
Riding out the storm like a ship safe at anchor
Bm C D G
Waiting out the long voyage, 'round the Cape of Hope we'll take her
Bm C G
Riding out the storm like a ship safe at anchor
Bm C D G
Waiting out the long voyage, 'round the Cape of Hope we'll take her
