[Verse 1]
G#m E
Picture of me on your color TV

Betty's holding the helm

Skin's a-salty with the

breeze-- Gotta look when you open those books
B C#
I dream of the sea big ships is meant for
[Chorus]

Maybe I'm meant for the sea
G#m E Eb E
It's there swinging from my family tree
[Verse 2]
G#m E
Startin' to breathe so heavily
B C#m
Grandpa's telling me of his days in the
G#m E
Navy-- I was alive for a moment you see

It was there when I woke
C#
It was there when I would

Maybe I'm meant for the sea
G#m E Eb E
It's there swinging from my family tree
Ebm G#m Eb E

Maybe I'm meant for the sea
B F#
We pass it by so passively
G#m E
And all that's said is what we know

We'll watch it come, we'll watch it go
G#m E
And underneath, it's plain to see
B F#
That we're not meant for history
[Chorus]
Ebm G#m Eb E
Maybe I'm meant for the sea
G#m E Eb E
It's there swinging from my family tree
G#m E Eb E
Maybe I'm meant for the sea
G#m E Eb E
Grandpa Albert had it made for me
