"That man Aknows that sea like the back of his hand,
He'll be Cback sometime, laughing at Dmyou."

[Verse 1]

Jackie left on a cold dark night,

telling me he'd be home.

Sailed the seas for a hundred years,

G Dm

Leaving me all alone.

And I've been dead for twenty years,

I've been washing the sand with my ghostly tears.

C Dm

Searching the shores for my Jackie ohh,

[Verse 2]

I remember the day the young men came,

Said, "Your Jackie's gone, we got lost in the rain,"

C Dm

And I ran to the beach, and laid me down.

"You're all wrong," I said, As they stared at the sand,

"That man knows that sea like the back of his hand,

C Dm

He'll be back sometime, laughing at you."

[Verse 3]

And I've been waiting for all this time,

for my man to come, take his hand in mine,

C Dm

and lead me away to unseen shores.

I've been washing the sand with my salty tears,

searching the shores, these long years.

C Dm

And I'll walk the sea, forever more.

[Outro]

C Dm

Till I find my Jackie oh,

C Dm

Till I find my Jackie oh,

Till I find...

Dm C Dm C Dm C Dm C Dm

My Jackie ohhh, Jackie ohh, Jackie ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
