Are you home from the sea

Bb C F

My soul balladeer

F/C Bb F5 Fmaj7 Bb

You've been away roamin'

F5 C F

Far away from here

F/C Bb5 F5

Weathered a storm

Your heart unafraid

Crossed every ocean

In the boat that you made

Bb5 F5

Been blowin' your horn

Bb C F

Scarin' the spooks

No crotchets or quavers

In your books

Gone sailin' all night

Straight in the vein

Like a bird on his own flight

In his domain

Bb5 F5

Runnin' in on the tide

Bb C F

With the first of the stars

F/C Bb F5 Fmaj7 Bb

The moon on the water

F5 C F

And the sound of guitars

F/C Bb5 F5

Glide into the homin'

Bb C F

As the night falls

F/C Bb F5 Bb

Tie up in the haven

By the old harbor wall

Bb5 F5

And the hard-bitten stranger

Bb C F

Deaf as a post

F/C Bb F5 Bb

Who stands at the fire

F5 C F

Where a poet's dreams roast

Bb5 F5

He can't know the story

Bb C F

He can't feel the pain

F/C B5 F5 Fmaj7 Bb

And all of the glory

Falls around him like rain

Beacon of hope

And strong as a sea boat

Strong as a rope

F/C Bb5 F5

And the vagabond wind

Bb C F

Whispers over the bay

And the songs and the laughter

Are carried away
