[Intro]
Abm7 Gm7 F7 Bb7+5 Bb7
Ebmaj7 Db7
Away from the city
Ebmaj7 Db7
that hurts and knocks,
Ebmaj7 Db7
I’m standing alone
Ebmaj7 Db7
by the desolate docks
Ebmaj7 Bb13 Ebmaj7 Db7
In the still and the chill of the night
Ebmaj7 Db7
I see the horizon
Ebmaj7 Db7
the great unknown
Ebmaj7 Db7
My heart has an ache
Ebmaj7 Db7
It’s as heavy as stone
Ebmaj7 Bb13 Ebmaj7 E9
With the dawn coming on, make it last
[Verse]
F9 Bb13
I cover the waterfront
Ebmaj7 Abmaj7 Gm7 Gbm7
I'm watching the sea
Fm7 Bb7+5 Ebmaj7 Cm7 Fm7 Bb7+5
Will the one I love be coming back to me?
[Verse]
F9 Bb13
I cover the waterfront
Ebmaj7 Abmaj7 Gm7 Gbm7
In search of my love
Fm7 Bb7+5 Ebmaj7 Ab7 Bb7 Ebmaj7
And I'm covered by a starlit sky above
[Bridge]
Fm7 Bb7
Here am I
Gm7 C7
patiently waiting,
Fm7 Bb7
hoping and longing
Gm7 Ebmaj7
Oh, how I yearn
Gm7 C7
Where are you?
Am7 D7
Are you forgetting?
