[Intro]
D Bm E7 A7
D G7 D A
[Verse 1]
D A D7
I love to watch the seagulls flying over my head
G C7
The water birds in wading when the sky is turning red
D B7
For there's lots of folks in love with the sea
E7 A
But there ain't no one who loves it like me
[Verse 2]
D A D7
And if I walked along the beach another million years
G C7
There'd be nothing any sweeter to my sunburnt ears
D Bm
Than to hear a lonely surfer
E7 A7 D G7 D A
Playing an old saltwater guitar
[Verse 3]
D A D7
And if I had to lie in seaweed that is three feet deep
G C7
I could sun myself forever till I fell asleep
D Bm
While I listen to a surfer
E7 A7 D G7 D
Playing an old saltwater guitar
[Bridge]
Am7 D7
Frazzled and rusty
Am7 D7
From saltwater spray
G
Strings all corroded, fog made them that way
Bm7 E7
Scratched up by sand
Bm7 E7
Like a driftwood tree
A
Just musical wreckage, but not to me
[Verse 4]
D A D7
And if I walked along the ocean for a million more
G C7
You would always find my fooprints on a sandy shore
D Bm
Where I heard a lonely surfer
E7 A7 D
Playing an old saltwater guitar
