Dm Jackie left on a cold dark night, A telling me she'd be home. C Sail the seas for a hundred years, G Dm Leaving me all alone. Dm And I've been dead for twenty years, A I've been washing the sand with my ghostly tears. C Dm Searching the shores for my Jackie ohh, Dm I remember the day the young men came, A Said, "Your Jackie's gone, we got lost in the rain," C Dm And I ran to the beach, and laid me down. Dm "You're all wrong," I said, As they stared at the sand, A "My woman knows that sea like the back of her hand, C Dm She'll be back sometime, laughing at you." Dm And I've been waiting for all this time, A for my woman to come, take her hand in mine, C Dm and lead me away to unseen shores. Dm I've been washing the sand with my salty tears, A searching the shores, these long years. C Dm And I'll walk the sea, forever more. C Dm Till I find my Jackie oh, C Dm Till I find my Jackie oh, C Dm C Dm C Dm C Dm Till I found my Jackie ohhh, Jackie ohh, Jackie ohhh.
