[Intro]
Eb/Db Ddim D E
[Verse]
Dbm7 Ebm7 E Gb7
I saw it again this evening
Dbm7 Gb Ab7
Black sail in a pale yellow sky
Dbm7 Ebm7 E Gb
And just as before in a moment,
Dbm7 Gb9 Ab7
It was gone where the grey gulls fly
[Verse]
B Gb Gbmaj7 Gb
If it happens again I shall wor ry
Gb Abm
That only a strange ship could fly
Dbm7 Ebm7 E Gb6
And my sanity scans the horizon
Dbm7 Gb Ab7
In the light of the darkening sky
[Verse]
Gb6 Ab6 Bb9 Ab6
That night as I walked in my slumber
Gb6 Ab6 Eb
I waded into the sea strand
Gb6 Ab6 Bb6 Ab6
And I swam with the moon and her lover
Dbmaj7 Ab Ab6
Until I lost sight of the land
[Verse]
Ab Db Ab
I swam till the night became morning
Gb6 Ab6 Eb
Black sail in a reddening sky
Gb6 Ab6
Found myself on the deck of a rolling ship
Dbm7 Ebm7 Ab Gb6
So far where no grey gulls fly
[Verse]
Ab Db Ab
All around me was silence
Ebm Abmaj7 Db
As if mocking my frail human hopes
Ab Db Ab
And a question mark hung in the canvas
Ab Abm Db Ab Gb6
For the wind that had died in the ropes
[Verse]
Ab6 Db Ab Ebm
I may have slept for an hour
Ab6 Dbmaj7 Db
I may have slept for a day
Ab
For I woke in a bed of white linen
Dbm7 Ebm7 Ab
And the sky was the color of clay
[Instrumental]
Eaug Ab Dbm Gb Emaj7 Gb Ebm7 Db B6
E Abm7 Db Ab7 E
[Verse]
Dbm7 Ebm7 E6 Gbmaj7
At first just a rustle of canvas
Dbm7 Ebm7 Ab7
And the gentlest breath on my face
Dbm7 Ebm7 Eb
But a galloping line of white horses
Gb Dbm Ebm Ab7
Said that soon we were in for a race
[Verse]
Gb6 Ab6 Dbmaj7 Ab
The gentle sigh turned to a how ling
Gb6 Ab6 Eb Ab
And the grey sky she angered to black
Gb6 Ab6
And my anxious eyes searched the horizon
Dbm7 B Gb Ab
With the gathering sea at my back
[Verse]
Gb6 Ab6 Dbmaj7 Ab
Did I see the shade of a sail or?
Gb6 Ab6 Eb Ab
On the bridge through the wheelhouse pane
Gb6 Ab6 B Ab6
Held fast to the wheel of the rocking ship
Dbm7 Ab
As I squinted my eyes in the rain
[Verse]
Gb6 Ab6 Db Ab
For the ship had turned into the wind
Gb6 Ab6 Eb
Against the storm to brace
Gb6 Ab6 Db Ab
And underneath the sailor's hat
B Ebm7 Ab7 E
I saw my fa ther's face
[Instrumental]
B Db Ab Gb9
B Db Ab Gb9
B Db Ab Gb9
[Outro]
Ebm7 Ab Db Ab
If a prayer today is spoken
Ab Db
Please offer it for me
Ebm Ab Db Ab
When the bridge to heaven is broken
B Abm7 Abm
And you're lost on the wild, wild sea
Dbm7 Ebm7 Ab
Lost on the wild, wild sea...
Dbm7 Abm7 Ab
Lost on the wild, wild sea...
B B9 Ab
Lost on the wild, wild sea...
