_ [Gm] _ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Gm] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ [Gm] I _ _ cover _
[G] the _ _ _ _ _ _ waterfront [C] _ _ _ _ [E] _
watching [Dm] _ _ _ [G] the ship go by.
_ [Cm] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _
[G] _ _ I could see _ [G] _ _
_ _ _ everybody's baby but _ I couldn't see mine. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Gm] _ _ I could see _
[G] the [Gm] _ _ ship pulling in _ _ [G] to the harbor. _ _
[C] _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ I could see the people _ meeting _ _ their loved one, [F] _ _ _ _ [Gm] _
_ shaking hands.
[C] _ _ _ _
_ _ I sat [G] there _ [Am] _
_ _ [A] so all alone _ _ covering [C] _ the [D] _ waterfront.
_ _ [Cm] _ _ [E] _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Gm] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ _ [A] _ [C] _ _ _ [D] And [D] after a while _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [A] all the people _ _ [C] left _ _ the harbor _ and [Bb] _ _ _ headed [Gm] for their destination.
_ _ _ [C] _ _ [G] _
All the ships [F] _ _ _ _ _
left the harbor _ [G] and headed for _ [F] _ [Gm] their next destination.
_ _ _ _ [D] _ I [E] sat there _ [F] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [D] covering _ [G] the _
_ [D] _ waterfront.
_ [C] _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ _ [F] _ _ _ _ And after a while I _ _ [D] _ looked [Gm] down the ocean as _ _ _ far _ as _ _ I could see _ in the fog. _ _
I _ _ saw a ship _ _
[F] _ _ _ _ _ headed this _ _ way far on.
_ [G] _ _ _ _ [D] _
It must be my [F] baby [A] coming _ _ [F] _
_ _ [Gm] _ down.
_ _ [Cm] _
_ _ [Gm] _ _ _ [C] _ [Gm] And after a while [G] the _ _ _ _ ship pulled in to the harbor rolling _ slow, _ _ so triple.
_ [C] _
_ And [B] my baby _ [F] stepped _ _ _ [E] _ _ off. _
[G] _ _ _ _ [Bb] I was still [C] _
_ _ [Dm] _ covering _ [Gm] the _ _ _ [C] waterfront. _ _
I said, Johnny, [G] _ _ _ _ our ship _ had trouble _ with the fog.
[Gm] And that's why we are so late, [G] _ _ _ [Bb] _ _
so late coming _ _ home, _ coming down. _ _ _
