Intro:  Bb

                              Eb
He smelt the briny ocean when he was seventeen
Dm                                    F
just said goodbye, cause sailors never cry
         Bb
When the life ashore became no more
     Eb                      Dm
Than just a point of dad, he tried to realize
                           F                            
The words the old man said


Chorus
            Bb              Eb            
Son, you'll never live in Clover
        Bb                Eb  
But the last word's up to you
       Bb                Eb
If you really thought it over
        Dm       Bb
Do what you must do

 
         Eb
Daddy, I don't know if I'm wrong
Bb    C        F
Daaaaaad, it's there where I belong
Bb          Eb
Daddy, once I'll be back to sea
      Bb               Eb                      Bb
If at home it's really better like you said to me. 



                                     Eb
He sailed across the seven seas from England to Japan
   Dm                        F
He saw all the places in the world.
    Bb                                 Eb
But somewhere in his heart, there is a start of yearning for 
    Dm                             F
the land he left behind, that he adored. 



Chorus
            Bb              Eb            
Son, you'll never live in Clover
        Bb                Eb  
But the last word's up to you
       Bb                Eb
If you really thought it over
        Dm       Bb
Do what you must do



         Eb
Daddy,  I know that I was wrong
Bb     C      F
Daaaaaad   I'm back where I belong
Bb           Eb 
Daddy, those words you used to say
        Bb               Eb              Dm    Bb
That at home it's really better  feel it every day
