   Em                                                 C               B
Onshore is where he waited for he was captivated by a woman in seal - skin
     Em                     D                 Em                         Cm     B
When she was bathing in the morning light, he asked her "would you be my wi  -  fe?"
    Em                                                            C    B
She said the ocean is where I belong, with me you cannot come a - lo - ng
    Em            D      Em        Am       C    B
She swam away and kindly waved "So long, so lo - ng"

And he said

[Chorus 1]

[Verse 2]
  Em                                                  C                 B
Onshore is where he waited for he was captivated by a woman in sealsk - in
Em                 D      Em                        Cm   B
Months turned into years, oh, his longing felt se - ve - re
  Em                                                          C    B
Until the day she came to land and shed her skin lying in the sa - nd
   Em            D           Em         Am              C    D
He stole what he believed he earned and took her by the he - ad
    B  Bm
And he said

[Chorus 2]
Em    D        C             C   Bm
Sel - kie, now you belong to m - e
Em    D        Am            C   Bm
Sel - kie, now you belong to m - e

[Verse 3]
    Em
She took his hand and walked along away from where she used to belong
    C                           Bm
But left her heart there in the se - a
Em                        C                    C    Bm
Months turned into years, oh, her longing felt se - ve - re
     Em                                 D                           Bm    C D
Un - til the day she found her pelt and left without a fare - wel - l (oo-o-oh)
    Em                             D                            C    Bm   Am G F# Em
She shifted back and swam away and disappeared into the ocean's sw - ay
Em
And he cried

[Chorus 3]
Em    D    C         C     Bm
Sel - kie, where are the - e?
Em    D    Am        C     Bm
Sel - kie, where are the - e?

[Verse 4]
    Em                                              C                 B
U - pon a cliff, he waited for he was captivated by a woman in sealsk - in
Em                 D      Em                       C Bm D
Months turned into years, oh his longing felt se - ve - re
Em                                                         C     Bm
Waiting to steal back her pelt, why she left, he could not tell  o-o-oh
     Em                                                            C
He'd lost the one he never had and threw himself off the cliff and fell
D
And he screamed

[Chorus 4]
Em    D         C               C    Bm
Sel - kie, I'll join you in the se - a
Em    D         Am
Sel - kie, I'll join you in the...
