Judy Collins – Secret Harbor (Guitar)

  Em                         C
I slipped into your harbour, past the pirate ships

    F                   G          F
The lights were low, my sails were down

    Em                        C
The seal of sacred silence was on my lips

    F                   G          F
I prayed the storms were weathered now

  Em                              C
I climbed aboard at midnight, the sky was black

    F                G      F
The gamble lost, the tables turned

    Em                     C
And even in the darkness I heard you laugh

    F              G       F        C
And wept as all my bridges burned

                          F                C
There is a secret harbour somewhere north

                               F       C
A place where ships are not in flames

                        F               C
A cove of beauty hidden from your eyes

                               Am
A place where no one knows your name

    Bm                     G
You said how can you be so innocent

    C             D       C
You were my demon all the while

  Bm                           G
I saw the skull and crossbones on your mast

    C          D        C
The predator behind the smile

  Em                          C
I cursed you as the wind blew through my sails

  F                  G         F
I loved you till the moonlight drowned

  Em                                 C
I sought you through the streets and waterways

   F               G       F        C
My calling for you still resounds

                          F                C
There is a secret harbour somewhere north

                               F       C
A place where ships are not in flames

                        F               C
A cove of beauty hidden from your eyes

                                Am
A place where no one knows your name

    Dm7                       Em                F
You wooed me with your wicked smile that night

                             Em     Eb
And then you promised me the moon

                         Gm
I saw it floating in the waters deep

    Eb                  D
And then it disappeared too soon

  Em                          C
I sailed out of your harbour, through the rising tide

   F             G           F
My memories were filled with pain

  Em                           C
I drifted towards the sunrise, lost in fog

     F           G          F
Your echo had me wrapped in chains

     Em                          C
Your promises were drifting like men who'd drowned

    F            G        F
The bitter water beckoned me

  Em                           C
I wrapped the shadows round me once again

    F                          G      F        C
And sailed through storms that set me free (set me free), set me free

                          F                C
There is a secret harbour somewhere north

                               F       C
A place where ships are not in flames

                        F               C
A cove of beauty hidden from your eyes

                                Am     C
A place where no one knows your name

                          F                C
There is a secret harbour somewhere north

                               F       C
A place where ships are not in flames

                        F               C
A cove of beauty hidden from your eyes

                                Am     Dm7
A place where no one knows your name

                    G             Dm7
I washed my face in falling rain

                        G    Am  F    Am
And swore that I'd find love again_______
