I found an old letter caught under a stone
               C                   G                   F                       G 
By the sea in the lee of the cliffs, all alone
         C                   Am                       Em                     F 
Its pages were tattered from where it had blown
       Dm                       C                 G                 C 
To land from the hand of a sailor, unknown
 F                       C                   G           C 
There by the coast of Sierra Leone
verse 2
                                     G                         C                             G 
"Dear Friend", it read, "I have missed you, you know
                   C                           G                           F               G 
When you walked and you talked with me so long ago
     C                     Am               Em                       F 
I shoved you aside as I rushed to and fro
 Dm                         C                     G                 C     F   C   G   C   Am 
Friend, my old friend, who never let go"
 Em                         F                                                   C 
Friend, my old friend, who looked out for me
                                                   F                                                 G 
Through squalls and long hauls, while I sailed the sea
     Am               G               C                   F 
I need your watchful eye at the prow
                         C                         Am                       C 
I know that you know, I?m kneeling here now
           C 
verse 3
       C                         G                           C                           G 
My ship hugs the rocks, and the gale?s my back door
 C                     G                       F                   G 
Lashing and smashing and waging its war
       C                       Am                             Em               F 
My crew man the lifeboat, please see them ashore
         Dm                         C                 G                   C 
All told, it won?t hold even one person more
 F                 C           G                     C 
Here by Sierra Leone?s rocky floor
verse 4
                             G                 C                                 G 
Forgive my neglect, old friend, it was my loss
     C                     G                     F                           G 
I wait for my fate as the ship starts to toss
     C                         Am               Em                     F 
I feel the cold waters, I see the dark moss
               Dm                               C                   G                     C           F   C   G   C   Am 
Will I sail through this gale or to heaven on a cross?
Chorus
 Em                         F                                                   C 
Friend, my old friend, who looked out for me
                                                   F                                                 G 
Through squalls and long hauls, while I sailed the sea
 Am                       G               C                             F 
I?ll take the wheel if you?ll ride the bow
                             C                           Am                       C 
You know that I know, you?re standing here now

Verse 5
           C                       G                   C           G 
As I stood on the rocks of Sierra Leone
               C                         G               F           G 
By the sea, the blue sea of Sierra Leone
 C                       Am                         Em                 F 
Close by the spot where the letter had blown
         Dm                   C                         G                 C 
And thought for naught of the sailor, unknown
 F                       C                   G           C 
There by the coast of Sierra Leone
Verse 6
                               G                           C               G 
Then I saw old letters carved into the stone
               C                         G               F           G 
By the sea, the blue sea of Sierra Leone
   C                           Am                       Em                       F 
'Thank you, old Friend', just those words, alone
               Dm                     C                     G                 C 
Carved there like a prayer by a sailor, unknown
 F                     C                   G           C 
Here on the coast of Sierra Leone
 F                     C                 G                 C 
Here by the hand of a sailor, unknown
