[Intro]
Eb/Db Ddim D E
[Verse]
Dbm7 Ebm7 E Gb7 I saw it again this evening Dbm7 Gb Ab7 Black sail in a pale yellow sky Dbm7 Ebm7 E Gb And just as before in a moment, Dbm7 Gb9 Ab7 It was gone where the grey gulls fly
[Verse]
B Gb Gbmaj7 Gb If it happens again I shall wor ry Gb Abm That only a strange ship could fly Dbm7 Ebm7 E Gb6 And my sanity scans the horizon Dbm7 Gb Ab7 In the light of the darkening sky
[Verse]
Gb6 Ab6 Bb9 Ab6 That night as I walked in my slumber Gb6 Ab6 Eb I waded into the sea strand Gb6 Ab6 Bb6 Ab6 And I swam with the moon and her lover Dbmaj7 Ab Ab6 Until I lost sight of the land
[Verse]
Ab Db Ab I swam till the night became morning Gb6 Ab6 Eb Black sail in a reddening sky Gb6 Ab6 Found myself on the deck of a rolling ship Dbm7 Ebm7 Ab Gb6 So far where no grey gulls fly
[Verse]
Ab Db Ab All around me was silence Ebm Abmaj7 Db As if mocking my frail human hopes Ab Db Ab And a question mark hung in the canvas Ab Abm Db Ab Gb6 For the wind that had died in the ropes
[Verse]
Ab6 Db Ab Ebm I may have slept for an hour Ab6 Dbmaj7 Db I may have slept for a day Ab For I woke in a bed of white linen Dbm7 Ebm7 Ab And the sky was the color of clay
[Instrumental]
Eaug Ab Dbm Gb Emaj7 Gb Ebm7 Db B6
E Abm7 Db Ab7 E
[Verse]
Dbm7 Ebm7 E6 Gbmaj7 At first just a rustle of canvas Dbm7 Ebm7 Ab7 And the gentlest breath on my face Dbm7 Ebm7 Eb But a galloping line of white horses Gb Dbm Ebm Ab7 Said that soon we were in for a race
[Verse]
Gb6 Ab6 Dbmaj7 Ab The gentle sigh turned to a how ling Gb6 Ab6 Eb Ab And the grey sky she angered to black Gb6 Ab6 And my anxious eyes searched the horizon Dbm7 B Gb Ab With the gathering sea at my back
[Verse]
Gb6 Ab6 Dbmaj7 Ab Did I see the shade of a sail or? Gb6 Ab6 Eb Ab On the bridge through the wheelhouse pane Gb6 Ab6 B Ab6 Held fast to the wheel of the rocking ship Dbm7 Ab As I squinted my eyes in the rain
[Verse]
Gb6 Ab6 Db Ab For the ship had turned into the wind Gb6 Ab6 Eb Against the storm to brace Gb6 Ab6 Db Ab And underneath the sailor's hat B Ebm7 Ab7 E I saw my fa ther's face
[Instrumental]

[Outro]
Ebm7 Ab Db Ab If a prayer today is spoken Ab Db Please offer it for me Ebm Ab Db Ab When the bridge to heaven is broken B Abm7 Abm And you're lost on the wild, wild sea Dbm7 Ebm7 Ab Lost on the wild, wild sea... Dbm7 Abm7 Ab Lost on the wild, wild sea... B B9 Ab Lost on the wild, wild sea...
