remove these ads
Intro: Bb

Verse 1:
Bb           F
Long afloat on shipless oceans,
Eb            Gm
I did all my best to smile,
Bb                 F               Eb
'Til your singing eyes and fingers,
Eb          Gm              Bb
Drew me loving to your isle.

Chorus 1:
Bb            Ab           Gm
And you sang, "Sail to me, sail to me,
         Bb
Let me enfold you,
       Gm        F
Here I am, here I am,
           Eb      Bb
Waiting to hold you".

Verse 2:
Bb           F
Did I dream you dreamed about me?
Eb            Gm
Were you here when I was full sail?
Bb              F               Eb
Now my foolish boat is leaning,
Eb               Gm        Bb
Broken lovelorn on your rocks.

Chorus 2:
Bb            Ab
For you sing, "Touch me not,
Gm                          Bb
Touch me not; come back tomorrow,
Gm          F
Oh, my heart—oh, my heart,
               Eb       Bb
Shies from the sorrow".

Verse 3:
Bb                         F       Eb
Well, I'm as puzzled as a newborn child,
Eb              Gm
I'm as riddled as the tide,
Bb               F               Eb
Should I stand amid the breakers,
            Eb                 Gm     Bb
Or should I lie with death my bride?

Outro:
Bb            Ab           Gm
Hear me sing, "Swim to me,
                      Bb
Swim to me; let me enfold you,
       Gm        F
Here I am, here I am,
           Eb      Bb
Waiting to hold you".
