Verse 1:
Bm Bm AGmaj7
We wandered through the shipyards,

A A Bm Bm
through the timber and the rope,

D D GF#mA A
and the wise men saw the longing in our eyes.

Bm Bm F#m F#m
So they made for each of us

Bm Bm F#m F#m D D Bm Bm
a ship of dust, with sails of trust,

A A Gmaj7 Gmaj7Bm Bm
and the sun behind us vanished from the skies.


Verse 2:
Bm Bm A A Gmaj7 Gmaj7
Now it's a long time since the sunset,

A A Bm Bm
and the time we raised the sails,

D D GF#mA A
and the time the old shipbuilders waited for.

Bm Bm F#m F#m
There are wonders in the night;

Bm Bm F#m F#m D D Bm Bm
there are strange and dangerous shades of light,

A A Gmaj7 Gmaj7 Bm Bm
but the dawn is gonna see me on that shore.


Bridge:
E E A A D D A A Bm Bm
Sweet stars, mark the night.

E E A A F# F# Bm BmD D
Fair winds, arc the right waves over my prow--

A A
I am homeward.




Verse 3:
Bm Bm AGmaj7
Wooden wheels and oaken rudders

A A Bm Bm
bend like grass against the sea,

D D G G F#m F#mA A
and the canvas fails and falls against our hope.

Bm Bm F#m F#m
I am climbing on the mast

Bm Bm F#m F#m D D Bm Bm
and I see a trace of dawn at last

A A Gmaj7 Gmaj7 Bm Bm
and I feel a strange new feeling in the rope.

Verse 4:
Bm Bm A A Gmaj7 Gmaj7
Now the sun splits the horizon

A A Bm Bm
where I thought the beach to be,

D D GF#mA A
and the graveyard for the ships done with the sea

Bm Bm F#m F#m
But I'm on a sea of glass

Bm Bm F#m F#m D D Bm Bm
and the light is more than sun can pass

AGmaj7 Bm Bm
and the deck is turning silver under me.

End:
EA D D A A Bm Bm
Sweet stars, mark my mind.

E E A A F# F# Bm BmD D
Fair winds, you can find me sailing your source--

A A
I am homeward.

F#sus4 F#sus4F# F#Bm Bm
