James Keelaghan - Sea For The Shore
##  D/F#= 200232 ##
INTRO:    G     D     Em  C-D-  (4x) 
The Glights of the D/F#freighters, they Emdanced on the Cwater
As they Gtugged at the D/F#anchors that Emheld them at Cbay
And Glost in her D/F#arms, boys, EmI too was Cdancing
            G          D/F#      Em  C-D-
I traded the sea for the shore
            G          D/F#      Em  C-D-G  
I traded the sea for the shore
INTERLUDE:    G     D     Em  C-D-  (4x)
The Glight from the D/F#moon turned the Emwet streets to Csilver
As we Gwalked hand in D/F#hand up the Emroad from the Cbay
And Gme glancing D/F#backwards from Emwhere I had Ccome, boys
            G          D/F#      Em  C-D-
I traded the sea for the shore
            G          D/F#      Em  C-D-
I traded the sea for the shore
The Glights from the D/F#streetlamps cast Emhaloes uCpon us
As we Gleaned by the D/F#railing at the Emfoot of her Cstairs
I Gtouched her cheek D/F#lightly, the Emskies now are Cclearing
            G          D/F#      Em  C-D-
I traded the sea for the shore
            G          D/F#      Em  C-D-G  
I traded the sea for the shore
INTERLUDE:    G     D     Em  C-D-  (4x)
The Glight from the D/F#sun, well it Emshone through the Ccurtains
Touched the Gedge of her D/F#shoulder, caught the Emglow in her Ceyes
The Ghorn of the D/F#freighter called, "EmHome, wayward Csailors"
                G          D/F#      Em  C-D-
But I traded the sea for the shore
            G          D/F#      Em  C-D-
I traded the sea for the shore
I Gtraded the D/F#sea for the Emshore
## NOTE: The song is immediately followed by an instrumental called    ##
##       Stephen Behind The Eight Ball, which is basically an up-tempo ##
##       of the same chord sequence as above.                          ##

D/F#

## = 200232 ##

G D Em C D

INTRO: -- (4x)

G D/F# Em C

The lights of the freighters, they danced on the water

G D/F# Em C

As they tugged at the anchors that held them at bay

G D/F# Em C

And lost in her arms, boys, I too was dancing

G D/F# Em C D

I traded the sea for the shore

G D/F# Em C D G

I traded the sea for the shore

G D Em C D

INTERLUDE: -- (4x)

G D/F# Em C

The light from the moon turned the wet streets to silver

G D/F# Em C

As we walked hand in hand up the road from the bay

G D/F# Em C

And me glancing backwards from where I had come, boys

G D/F# Em C D

I traded the sea for the shore

G D/F# Em C D

I traded the sea for the shore

G D/F# Em C

The lights from the streetlamps cast haloes upon us

G D/F# Em C

As we leaned by the railing at the foot of her stairs

G D/F# Em C

I touched her cheek lightly, the skies now are clearing

G D/F# Em C D

I traded the sea for the shore

G D/F# Em C D G

I traded the sea for the shore

G D Em C D

INTERLUDE: -- (4x)

G D/F# Em C

The light from the sun, well it shone through the curtains

G D/F# Em C

Touched the edge of her shoulder, caught the glow in her eyes

G D/F# Em C

The horn of the freighter called, "Home, wayward sailors"

G D/F# Em C D

But I traded the sea for the shore

G D/F# Em C D

I traded the sea for the shore

G D/F# Em

I traded the sea for the shore
