To the ocean and the sky

        E
And whatever's in between

D
To the ones who've left

       D
You're never truly gone

  E
A candle's in the window

        E
And the kettle's always on

         F#m
When the sun is coming up

        F#m
And the world has come ashore

          E
If you're hoping for a harbour

            E
Then you'll find an open door

       D
In the winter, from the water

            D
Through whatever's in the way

       E
To the ones who have come from away

               A     F#m
Welcome to the Rock!
