Key of Bb (as recorded. Play as if in G with
Capo on the 3rd Fret.
Jesse plays the song in A on his YouTube recordings, using no capo. But this way you can
more easily raise or lower the key to suit your own voice.
Intro: Am7 - Bm7 - C - D
verse 1
G Em
Just out in the harbour, all the ships asleep
Am C D
Maybe one cold watchman, walks a lonely beat
G Em
And way out on the water, a ship is under sail
Am C D
Leaving wavy starlight, and a dreamer in her trail
G Em Am D
I wave bye bye, I pray, God speed
G Em Am D
Oh I wish, lovely weather, more luck than you need
G Bm7 Am7 C Am7 D
You'll only sail in circles, so there's no need to cry
G Bm7 G Em7 Am7 D G
No, I'll see you, again one day, and then I wave bye bye
verse 2
G Em
The sailing ship reminds me, of a certain girl
Am C D
Who left a certain dreamer, to sail into the world
G Em
I've very friendly post-cards, from very far away
Am C D
But they just remind me, of a certain day
G Em Am D
I wave, bye bye, I pray, God speed
G Em Am D
I wish, lovely weather, with more luck, than you need
G Bm7 Am7 C Am7 D
You'll only sail in circles, so there's no need to cry
G Bm7 G Em7 Am7 D G
No I'll, see you, again one day, then I waved bye bye
G
Bye bye
