Tom: E
E A E
I still remember the day, you were standin' on the kay
A E B
with tears in your eyes while the sirens yelled
E
It was time to go aboard
A E A E
feir the well to you my love one last look in your sad eyes
B
and one last kiss
[Chorus]
C#m A
For the miles, I crawled the ocean
E B
For the miles between you and me
C#m A
walk all the miles, trying to kill me
E B
walk all the miles over the sea
E A E
every sailor here(aboard) has got a leak in his heart
A E B
but no one's got a leak as big as mine
E A E
and they dream of their love, of their loved sweet heart
A E B
of the little girl in the harbor of their homes
C#m
of their homes
[Instrumental]
A E B C#m A B
[Verse 2]
E
too many years have passed by
A E
too much time upon the sea
A E B
all the memories of you signing two decrees
E A E
the taste of your lips, and the smell of your hair
A E B
the longing in your voice as you said goodbye
[Chorus]
C#m A
For the miles, I crawled the ocean
E B
For the miles between you and me
C#m A
walk all the miles, trying to kill me
E B
walk all the miles over the sea
E A E
every sailor here(aboard) has got a leak in his heart
A E B
but no one's got a leak as big as mine
E A E
and they dream of their love, of their loved sweet heart
A E B
of the little girl in the harbor of their homes
C#m
of their homes
[solo]
C#m A E B C#m A B
[Bridge]
E (hold) A (hold) E(n)
When i'm sitting here alone with the whistle in my hand
A (hold) E(n) B (hold)
I hope the wind will blow this song across to you
E (hold) A (hold) E(n)
and one fine day i will return to the harbor of my home
A (hold) E(n) B (hold)
when you hear the sirens yell you'll know it's me
N.C
comin' home
[Chorus]
C#m A
For the miles, I crawled the ocean
E B
For the miles between you and me
C#m A
walk all the miles, trying to kill me
E B
walk all the miles over the sea
E A E
every sailor here(aboard) has got a leak in his heart
A E B
but no one's got a leak as big as mine
E A E
and they dream of their love, of their loved sweet heart
A E B
of the little girl in the harbor of their homes
C#m
of their homes
