[Em] [B] [F#] [E] [B]
[E] [B] was living by the water Late July [F#] [Em] moon's [B] early quarter
[C#m] [B] Summer mornings, early dawnings Paid no heed [F#] to [E] me, [B] gave no warning
[E] [B] Of their endless way Sea tides [Bm] flowing [B] in the river
It's all the music I would ever have for long, long since I went [E] away
[B]
By the sea curlews calling Hear the summer stars falling
Fire burning, lighting up their [E] way [B]
On the lonely sands of the western strands
It [F#] was [E] there I made [B] my [E] [B] way
[F#] [E]
[B] On the mountain
Then I sang a song When the [F#] wind [E] plays in the [B] raven's wing
And I saw mullein horses Dancing over [F#] the [E] plains [B] of the deadland [E] [B] marshes
[Em] Down to [B] the sea Voices from the empty moor
They call me past the stranger's door Because I keep no company, I'll make no enemies
[E] [B]
The tide is turning, there is no waiting Day was long, the sun's setting
Sand's shifting, these times they have no [E] end
[B] On the lonely sands of the western strands It [F#] was [E] there I [B] made my [E] way

[E] [B] Of their endless way Sea tides [Bm] flowing [B] in the river
It's all the music I would ever have for long, long since I went [E] away

By the sea curlews calling Hear the summer stars falling
