INTRO: G  C  Em  C  G 

VERSE I
 
        G                         C         G 
Oh, the longer the waiting, the sweeter the kiss 
                Em          C         D 
It's better my darling, I promise you this 
     Bm          C                        Am 
The next time I hold you, I'm not letting go 
         G                    C         Em      D/F# 
Will you wait for me darling, I need to know 

VERSE II 
           G                   C         G 
Well, you know I'm a sailor, tomorrow we sail 
                   Em           C        D 
It's a hard way of living, but I know it well 
    Bm        C                    Am 
And if I surrender my life to the sea 
        G                   C            Em 
You can marry another, it's alright with me 

PRE-CHORUS
 
          C                    D            Em 
Though we won't be together again 'til the spring 
       C                        D 
Just imagine the treasures I'll bring 


      G                           C          G 
Come lay with me, stay with me, soon I'll be gone 
              Em         C          D 
But I will remember you all winter long 
    Bm        C                     Am 
And when I return to the one that I miss 
        G                       C           Em 
Oh, the longer the waiting, the sweeter the kiss 
    C           G
The sweeter the kiss 


INTERLUDE: C  G  Em  C  D  Bm  C  Am  G  C  Em 

PRE-CHORUS 
           C                         D          Em 
When the mornings are warm and the valleys are green 
          C                       D 
I'll come back from wherever I've been 

VERSE III
 
          G                      C          G 
Oh, the longer the waiting, the sweeter the kiss 
                Em         C          D 
It's better my darling, I promise you this 
    Bm            C                        Am 
But next time I hold you, I'm not letting go 
         G                   C       Em 
We will give up the ocean forever, I know 
   C      G 
Forever I know.
