Home by the sea

Genesis

Tom: C

 
Em
   Home by the sea, home by the sea, 
   home by the sea, home by the sea
 
                            D
Creeping up the blind side, shinning up the wall
                             Em
Stealing through the dark of night
                           D
Climbing through a window, stepping to the floor
                             Em
Checking to the left and the right
                       D
Picking up the pieces, putting them away
                             C     Am
Something doesn't feel quite right
 
Em                  C        Am     Em
   Help me, someone,  let me out of here
     C          Am       D        Bm
Then out of the dark was suddenly heard
C               Am          Em
"Welcome to the home by the sea"
 
                         D
Coming out the woodwork, through the open door
                         Em
Pushing from above and below
                           D
Shadows with no substance, in the shape of men
                                 Em
Round and down and sideways they go
                          D
Adrift without direction, eyes that hold despair
                               C    Am
Then as one they sigh and they moan
 
Em                   C        Am     Em
   "Help us, someone,  let us out of here
C      Am      D            Bm
Living here so long undisturbed
C               Am           Em
Dreaming of the time we were free
   C    Am     Em
So many years ago
  C        Am        D        Bm
Before the time when we first heard
 C              Am          Em
'Welcome to the home by the sea'"
 
G          Bm       D  Em          G          Bm       D
  Sit down,   sit down,   sit down,  sit down,   sit down
   C             G                Bm    D
As we relive our lives in what we tell you
 
Em  Am  Em  Cadd9  Em  G  F  C  Am  Em  Bm  Em
 
                  D
Images of sorrow, pictures of delight
                            Em
Things that go to make up a life
                        D
Endless days of summer, longer nights of gloom
                        Em
Waiting for the morning light
                        D
Scenes of unimportance, photos in a frame
                            C    Am
Things that go to make up a life
 
Em                    C        Am     Em
   "Help us, someone,   let us out of here
C      Am      D            Bm
Living here so long undisturbed
C               Am           Em
Dreaming of the time we were free
   C    Am     Em
So many years ago
  C        Am        D        Bm
Before the time when we first heard
 C              Am          Em
'Welcome to the home by the sea'"
 
G          Bm       D       Em             G          Bm       D
  Sit down,   sit down, sit down, sit down,  sit down,   sit down
   C             G                Bm       D
As we relive our lives in what we tell you
    C             G                Bm   D
Let us relive our lives in what we tell you
Em     G              Bm       D
   Sit down, sit down,   sit down
           Em
'Cause you won't get away
         G
No, with us you will stay
        Bm
For the rest of your days
      D
Sit down
   C             G                Bm       D
As we relive our lives in what we tell you
    C             G                Bm   D
Let us relive our lives in what we tell you
