I see the light [Db] across the bay.
I see the light not [Gb] far away.
[Db] And I hear music all [Ab] around.
I'm getting [Ebm] close to [Ab] Portland town.
So [Db] Mother, won't you [Ab] make my bed?
I [Db] see the light of [Gb] Portland head.
I see [Db] the light.
[Ab] I'm coming round.
[Bbm] I'm coming [Gb] home [Ab]
[Db] to Portland town.
[Gb] [Ab] Some [Db] years ago, [Gb]
[Ab] out on [Db] my own, I set [Gb] a [Ab] course [Db] of parts unknown.
Leaving [Ebm] behind [Ab]
old [Bbm] friend and foe.
[Gb] Needing to [Bbm] find what [Ebm] I've come to know.
[Ab] As [Db] I watched the [Gb]
island [Db] fade away.
[Gb] And did fare well to Casco [Ebm] Bay.
[Bbm] Though it's [Db] been years and [Ab] years since [Bbm] then, [Gb] my heart has [Db] brought [Ebm] me home [Bbm] again.
[Ab] And [Db] I see the light across [Ab] the bay.
I see [Db] the light not [Ebm] far away.
[Db] And I hear music [Ab] all around.
[Ebm] I'm getting [Gb]
close [Ab] to Portland [Ebm] town.
[Db] So Mother, won't you [Ab] make my bed?
I [Gb] see the [Db] light of [Gb] Portland head.
I [Db] see the light.
I'm [Ab] coming round.
[Bbm] I'm [Gb] coming [Ab] home [Db] to Portland town.
[Gb] [Ab] Of [Db] all the [Gb]
[Ab] places [Db] I could go, she's [Gb] still the [Ab]
[Db] fairest port I know.
She [Ebm] works the sea [Ab]
and [Db] tills the [Fm] farms [Bbm] and [Gb] holds her [Db]
children [Ebm] in her [Bbm] arms.
[Ab] No [Db] place could [Gb] know [Ab] a [Db] prouder nest.
Here [Gb] comes the beautiful at [Bbm] [Ebm] last.
Here [Db] comes that beacon [Ab] across the [Bbm] sky.
And when [Gb] I [Db] call,
[Ebm] [Ab] [Fm] I see the [Db] light [Cm] across the [Ab] bay.
[Gb] I see the light not far [Db] away.
And I hear music all [Ab] around.
[Ebm] I'm getting [Gb] close to Portland [Ab] [Bbm] town.

won't you [Ab] make my bed?
