Written by Acker Bilk/Robert Mellin
D G/B Em7 D D7M G Gm7
Here I stand, watching the tide go out,
D F#m Bm Bm7 Em7 G/B A7
So all alone and blue, just dreaming dreams of you.
D G/B Em7 D D7M G Gm7
I watched your ship as it sailed out to sea
D F#m Bm Bm7 Em7 G/B D D7
Taking all my dreams and taking all of me.
Bridge:
G F#m
The sighing of the waves
Em7 G/B D D7
The wailing of the wind
G F#m
The tears in my eyes burn
E7 A7
Pleading, "My love, return"
D G/B Em7 D D7M G Gm7
Why, oh, why must I go on like this?
D F#m Bm Bm7 Em7 G/B D
Shall I just be a lonely stranger on the shore?
