  			Am              D 
Out at daybreak to the sun 
C                 D 
Seas are drifting glass 
    Am                D 
The tides were turning to the storm 
C                 D 
Winds were moving fast 
F             G 
Women waiting at the harbour 
C              E 
Silent stand around 
F               G  
Weather storms another day 
    C               E 
For men the sea has found 
 
Am              D 
Fisherman were laying nets 
C                     D 
The barrels spread the bait 
    Am              D 
The seagulls warning echoed round 
C                  D 
Winds that wouldn't wait 
F                G 
People gathered at the harbour 
C               E 
Waiting for the tide 
F                 G      
Eyes half closed against the spray 
C                     E 
And tears they cannot hide 
 
     
{Refrao} 
Am              Dm 
Shadows falling at the harbour 
G            C 
Women stant around 
Am               Dm 
Weather storms another way 
    G       Em      Am         D       C      D     
For man the sea had drowned 
 
 
Am                  D 
Hulls were creaking crashing sails 
C                   D 
Rains were slanting down 
     Am                D 
The oilskins flapping, decks awash 
C                D 
Slanting turning round 
F               G 
Thunder roaring at the harbour 
C              E 
Women drawn in fear 
F                 G 
Huddle up to wait the time 
C                    E 
And pray the sky well clear 
 
 
 
Am                    D 
Howling winds and the raging waves 
C                D 
Cracked upon the boats 
    Am                        D 
And torn from safety, torn from life 
C               D 
Men with little hope 
F              G 
Ghostly echoes at the harbour 
C             E 
Whispering of death 
F              G    
Women weeping holding hands 
C                        E 
Of those they still have left 
 
 
{Refrao}
