Humm - mmm, mm - mm! Humm - mmm!  Humm - mmm - mm!  Humm - mmm, mm, mm - mmm! 


C                                (Cmaj7)   Dm              Dm7/A 
   The harbour lights were shining,    the moon was in it's high, 
     Gsus4                G                      C                     (G7) 
The captain said, "Thank God we're home, we've drunk the barrels dry!" 
C                            (Cmaj7)          Dm              Dm7/A 
   The mizzen-mast was shaken,      and the lanterns all burnt low, 
 Gsus4                G                   C                   (C/G) 
I never thought we'd make it, but we've twenty leagues to go, 
    Em                (Em7)                  Am 
So blow, you southern trades, and guide me safely to the shore, 
(Am7)     D7        (D7sus4) (D7)       G           G7 
     I'm never, ever, gonna  sail the seven seas no more-----! 


   C                      Cmaj7 
I know I'm gonna miss the sand in my hair, 
    Em7                       Fmaj7 
The roll of the tide, and the salt in the air, 
     Dm7                G 
But, deep inside, it's true, 
      F/C               G7                C     G7 
I'm a home lovin' man, coming on home to you, 
   C                      Cmaj7 
I know I'm gonna miss the wind in my eyes, 
      Em7                     Fmaj7 
The shimmer of light when the seagull flies, 
      Dm7                   G 
Al - though I've travelled far, 
      Dm7                   G7                F       Dm7   C 
I'm a home lovin' man, and home is where you are--------------! 


      C                    (Cmaj7)       Dm            Dm7/A 
The crowd upon the quayside,      their faces long and drawn, 
     Gsus4         G             C                   (G7) 
Are suddenly a - wakened, as we sail in on the dawn, 
     C                          (Cmaj7)     Dm           Dm7/A 
The wives, the sons, the lovers,       who never gave up hope, 
    Gsus4                 G             C                       (C/G) 
All breathe a sigh to - gether as they reach to catch the rope, 
      Em                (Em7)                   Am 
God bless you, southern trades, you've got me safely back this time, 
(Am7)            D7           (D7sus4)  (D7)     G                G7 
     Oh, you'll never have the need a - gain to save this soul of mine----!
