The Tide

 
G                         G 
Mary used to dance by the old stone quay 
C                     C 
Barefoot wild full of reverie 
G                        G 
She traded songs for the subway lines 
C                 C 
Coffee breaks and overtime 
 

 
Em              D                  C 
One last time I tried to bring her home 
            Em                         D                C 
'Cause it's cold out there when you're swimming on your own 
     N.C. 
So I said to Mary 
 

 
G 
Hey ho take my hand 
C 
Dance with me in the golden sands 
G 
Oh no she's so bold 
C 
The waves roll in and she won't let go 
Em      D      C 
Holding on too tight 
         Em       D      C 
She was washed up by the tide 
         N.C            G 
Yeah the tide took Mary 
C                         G 
 Yeah the tide took Mary 
C         N.C. 
 Yeah the tide took Mary 
 

 
  G                 G 
I found her staring at the shore 
C                       C 
 Said you don't have to run no more 
    G                    G 
The tide don't care what you don't know 
   C              C 
So come home love just come home 
 

 
Em              D                 C 
One last time I tried to hold her close 
            Em                         D                C 
'Cause it's cold out there when you're swimming on your own 
     N.C. 
So I said to Mary 
 

 
G 
Hey ho take my hand 
C 
Dance with me in the golden sands 
G 
Oh no she's so bold 
C 
The waves roll in and she won't let go 
Em      D      C 
Holding on too tight 
         Em       D      C 
She was washed up by the tide 
         N.C            G 
Yeah the tide took Mary 
C                         G 
 Yeah the tide took Mary 
C 
 Yeah the tide took Mary

Yeah the tide took Mary
