Suzanne Vega – Harbor Song (Guitar)

Am
I dreamed you were a rich man

Am
And that I had no place to go

          F  G                     Am        Bm
I came to you to see if you would take me in

    F                   G                      A
Through golden curtains you told me you'd let me know.

           Am                    G      Am
Well, you drink for ten and you smoke for twenty

Am
And your fickle heart will never be true

              F  G                      Am    Bm
But still I feel the wind in from the harbor

  F                 G               Am        Bm
That's when I know the longing for you

     Dm             G               Am
That's when I know the old longing for you.

Am
I saw you in my mind's eye

Am
You were laid out on your final day

            Dm G    Am                              Bm
I stood in line to see that handsome face once more

Dm               F        G              Am            B
It had been so dear to me, and I kissed you as you lay

F                        G            Am
Had been so dear to me, I kissed you as you lay.

Am
Now, whenever I do travel

Am
If to Portugal, England, or Spain

         F  G                  Am             Bm
As I do walk by the shipyards and the harbors

F                              G                 Am  Bm
I smell the salt, and the bay rum of your ghost again

F                             G                   Am
I know the salt, and the bay rum, you beside me again.
