Tom: C
Am D
Out at daybreak to the sun
C D
Seas are drifting glass
Am D
The tides were turning to the storm
C D
Winds were moving fast
F G
Women waiting at the harbour
C E
Silent stand around
F G
Weather storms another day
C E
For men the sea has found
Am D
Fisherman were laying nets
C D
The barrels spread the bait
Am D
The seagulls warning echoed round
C D
Winds that wouldn't wait
F G
People gathered at the harbour
C E
Waiting for the tide
F G
Eyes half closed against the spray
C E
And tears they cannot hide
{Refrao}
Am Dm
Shadows falling at the harbour
G C
Women stant around
Am Dm
Weather storms another way
G Em Am D C D
For man the sea had drowned
Am D
Hulls were creaking crashing sails
C D
Rains were slanting down
Am D
The oilskins flapping, decks awash
C D
Slanting turning round
F G
Thunder roaring at the harbour
C E
Women drawn in fear
F G
Huddle up to wait the time
C E
And pray the sky well clear
Am D
Howling winds and the raging waves
C D
Cracked upon the boats
Am D
And torn from safety, torn from life
C D
Men with little hope
F G
Ghostly echoes at the harbour
C E
Whispering of death
F G
Women weeping holding hands
C E
Of those they still have left
{Refrao}
