[Intro]
D G D G C G D G G
[Verse 1]
G Bm C G
Have you stood by the ocean, on a diamond-hard morning
Bm Am G D
And felt the horizon stir deep in your soul
G Bm C G
Watched the wake of a steamer as it cut through blue water
Bm Am/E G D G
And been gripped by a fever you just can't control
G Bm C G
Oh to throw off the shackles and fly with the seagulls
Bm Am G D
To where green waves tumble before a driving sea wind
G Bm C G
Or to lie on the decking on a warm summer's evening
Bm Am/E G D G
Watch the red sun fall burning, beneath the earth's rim
[Chorus]
G Bm C D
But to every sailor, comes time to drop anchor
G Bm C D
Haul in the sails, and make the lines fast
G Bm C D
You deep water dreamer, your journey is over
G Bm C
You're safe in the harbour at last
G Bm C
You're safe in the harbour at last
[Verse 2]
G Bm C G
Some men are sailors, but most are just dreamers
Bm Am G D
Held fast by the anchors they forge in their minds
G Bm C G
Who in their hearts know they'll never sail over deep water
Bm Am/E G D G
To search for a treasure they're afraid they won't find
G Bm C G
So in sheltered harbours, they cling to their anchors
Bm Am G D
Bank down their boilers and shut down their steam
G Bm C G
And wait for the sailors to return with bright treasures
Bm Am/E G D G
That will fan the dull embers and fire up their dreams
[Chorus]
