     F
On a bench, on the beach
       Eb               Bb\D
Just before the sun had gone
           F
I tried to reach you
Cm             D
Plain faced and falling fast
Gm                        Bb
You looked so vacant like an empty shell
G\B   F\C                    C
Whose life had passed upon the ocean  Mmmmm
 
Bb\C F\C  F     Bb\F  F     F
Be-  fore light shook the sky
     Eb           Eb Bb\D
Down by the docks I saw
           F
The masts unfolding
Cm         D                Gm
Don't turn away, please understand
                Bb
It's a life and a living
G\B   F\C             
And a way to keep the wolves away
     C               
From hungry hands, from hungry hands
 
      Dm 
Crazy water
F                     F\G F\A  Bb      Eb\Bb Bb
Takes my fishing boat on Mon-day morning
           F\A
Dangerous dreaming
      F                           F\G   F\A      Bb
If we all believe in the things you believe you're seeing
         F\A          Bb              Gm7    Gm7\A  Bb
Oh we'd never drop our nets in the crazy water, crazy   water

Bb\D F\D  F      Bb\F F  F
Tan- gled lives, lone-ly wives
Eb 
Shoreline widows pray
Eb     Bb\D               F
For the souls of missing whalers
Cm                 D
Endless nights on an endless sea
Gm                  Bb
Where nothing lives between us
G\B     F             F
Just the breakers on the ocean
          C
Separating you and me
          C
Separating you and me
