[C#m] [F#m] [C#m]
[G#] [C#m]
And [E] the ship [A] sets the [B] sail, they've [G#m] lived a test [C#m] to carry to [F#m] the shore, straining [E] at
the [G#] oars, the horse staring [C#m] from the rail.
[E] And the sea [A] [B] bids farewell, she weighs [G#m] and swells, [C#m] sends them [F#m] on their way, [A] time has
[E] been her pay, [G#] and time will [C#m] have to tell.
[A] Oh, soon your sailing will [G#m] be over,
[D] come and take the pleasures [E] of the [C#m] harbor, [E] and the
anchor [A]
[B] hits the sand.
[G#m] Hungry [C#m] hands have tied them [F#m] to the port, the hour [E] will be short [G#] for leisure [C#m] on the land.
[E] And the [A] girls [B] scent the air, they [G#m] seem so fair, [C#m] with bait upon [F#m] their face, [A] soft is [E] their
embrace [A] to lead them [C#m] up the stair.
[A] Oh, soon your sailing [G#m] will be over, [D] come and take the pleasures [E] of the harbor.
In the room, [A] [B] dark and dim, [G#m] touch of skin, [C#m] he asks her [F#m] of her name, she answers with
[E] no shame, [G#] and not a [C#m] sense of sin.
[E] Till the finger, [A] draw [B] the [F#] blind, [G#m] sip of wine, [C#m] cigarette [F#m] of doubt, the candle is [E] blown out,
[G#] the darkness is [C#m] so kind.
[A] Oh, soon your sailing [G#m] will be over, [D] come and take the pleasures [C#m] of the harbor.
[E] In the [A] bar, [B] hangs a clown, [E] whiskey's [C#m] loud, there's laughter [F#m] in their eyes, the lonely
[E] in disguise, [G#] heart clinging [C#m] to the crown.
[E] And the bottle, [A]
[B] fills the glass, [G#m] days is fast, [C#m] he's trembling [F#m] for the taste, [A] the passion
[E] gone to waste, [G#] in memories [C#] of the [C#m] past.
[A] Oh, soon your sailing [G#m] will be over, [D] come and take the pleasures [E] of the [C#m] harbor.
[E] In the alley, [A] [B] red with rain, [G#m] cry of pain, [C#m] for love was [F#m] but a smile, teasing [E] off while,
[G#] now dancing [C#m] down the drain.
[E] Till the [A] boy, [B] reach the dove, [G#m] gently bob, [C#m] and lift him [F#m] on their backs, lay [E] him on his
rack, [G#] and leave beneath [C#m] the lough.
[A] Oh, soon your sailing will [G#m] be over, [D] come and take the pleasures of the [C#m] harbor.
And the [E] ship,
[A] sets [B] the sail, they've lived [G#m] the tales, [C#m] to carry from [F#m] shore, straining
[E] at the oar, [G#] or staring [C#m] from the grail.
[E] And the sea, [A] [B] bids farewell, she [G#m] waves and [C#m] swells, and sends [F#m] them on their way, time
has been [E] her bae, [G#] and time will [C#m] have to tell.
