Van Morrison & John Lee Hooker - I Cover The Waterfront Chords

_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ [Am] I [F] _ _
cover [C] the _ waterfront watching _
_ [F] the sea, sea, sea.
I [G]
cover [C] _ [G] _ [F] the waterfront.
[C] _ _
_ [A] _ [C] I can see the [F] ships _ _ [G] coming in to [C] the harbor, harbor.
I [Am] see, [C] see, see [G] the people getting on [C] board.
_ [F] _ _ [C]
I could not [G] see, see when I [F] got _ on board.
[Am] _ _ [F] I [G] cover the _ [F] waterfront.
_ And [C] after a while, _
_ [G] all the ships left [C] the harbor, _
[F] _ headed for the next [G] destination.
[C] _
[G] _ [C] I cover [F] the [C] _ waterfront.
[G] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _
[F] In the pouring rain, [G] I did too.
_ Searching [Am] for my baby.
_ _ [C] I was drinking black coffee from a paper cup.
_ [G] _ _ And smoking [F] forty cigarettes. _
[Am] _ [C] _ [G] And when the sun [Am] in the sky came [F] up early in the morning.
[G] I said Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord.
[Am] Lord bring my baby, bring [C] my baby.
I _
_ [G] still cover [C] the waterfront. _
_ [F] _ _ [Am] I cover [F] _ [G] the [C] waterfront.
_ Watching [F] my baby [G] [C] to [G] come [C] down.
_ [Am]
And after [C] a while, _ [G] I saw a ship _ _ [Am]
coming down the ocean.
Out [G] of the fog, [C] rolling [F] so, so, [Am] so slow.
_ [G] Must be, must be Monday [C] coming [F] down.
_ [C] _ [G] I cover the [F] waterfront.
_ And I see my baby _ _ coming down, [C] coming down, getting ready.
[F] I _ [G] said, from the bottom of [C] my heart, _ [F] thank you.
_ [G] _ Lord for bringing [C] my baby down to [F] me.
_ [Am] _ [G] I've been so lonely.
_ [Am] Sitting in my room, by my telephone.
[F] I _ [G] _ _ said baby, [C] welcome back home.
_ _ [Am] _ Welcome back.
[C] _
_ _ _ [F] _ _ _ [Am] _ [G] _
_ _ [C] After a while, [Am] _ the ship pulled in [G] to the harbour.
_ [C] She run, run, [F] run, through my arms, [Am] through my arms.
I said, _ [C] I'm [G] waiting [C] so long, so long [Am] to come down.
_ [C] I know, I know, [G]
you've been waiting [Am] for me.
_ [F] _ Covering the [C] waterfront.
_ _ [Am] Covering the waterfront for me, [C] me, me, me.
[G] _ For me. _ _ _ _
