C Em F G

(Verse 1)
C      Dm   G  C                    F
Here I stand   watching the tide go out
C       Am       Dm
So all alone and blue
                        G
Just dreaming dreams of you

(Verse 2)
  C            Dm  G        C             F
I watched your ship   as it sailed out to sea
C      Am     Em    C
Taking all my dreams
    Dm     G      C
And taking all of me

(Refrain)
    F              C
The sighing of the waves
    Dm      G      C
The wailing of the wind
    F                Em
The tears in my eyes burn
Dm                 G
Pleading my love return

(Verse 3)
C      Dm G  C                 F
Why oh why   must I go on like this
C            Am   Em    C 
Shall I just be a lonely   
Dm       G      C     Em C F G
Stranger on the shore

(Interlude)
C Dm G C F
C Am Em C
Dm G C 

(Refrain)
    F              C
The sighing of the waves
    Dm      G      C
The wailing of the wind
    F                Em
The tears in my eyes burn
Dm                 G
Pleading my love return

(Verse 4)
C      Dm G  C                 F
Why oh why   must I go on like this
C            Am   Em    C 
Shall I just be a lonely   
Dm       G      C     Em C F G C
Stranger on the shore
