F C Dm C A# C
[Verse 1]
HFere stand I sDmand between my tCoes
LoA#nging for the home that I Chave never known
WoFrn down shoes and wDmorn down clCothes
And nA#o where to lDmay down my worn Cdown bones
NoA#where to lay dowCn my boFnes
ThDmere stands Billy a gA#leam in his Feye
ODmne leg short and glA#ass drunk Cdry
He Dmsmells like sFea shells sleepDms under the Fsky
And he'll A#play that tFune til the dCay he dies
He'll A#play that tuCne til the day he Fdies
[Chorus]
Oh Dmroll you Frolling A#watersF  
And DmBilly, play us a tune

And nA#obody plFays like Cyou, like you
NA#obody plCays like yFou

[Verse 2]
It's sFixteen yeaCrs since we sDmailed the salt Cseas

And A#Billy what haFve we dCone, done, done
BiA#lly what hCave we dFone?
Oh, Dmplay to me that mA#elodyF  
Of wDmaters sweet and A#waters dCeep
It rDmolls me aFway to the rDmolling wFaves
It A#rolls me Fdown tCo my sleep
It A#rolls me Cdown to my Fsleep
[Outro]
Oh Dmroll you Frolling A#watersF

Won't you pA#lay it for Fme
I lA#ong for the sDmea
And nA#obody plFays like Cyou, like you
NA#obody plCays like yFou

[Verse 1]

F Dm C

Here stand I sand between my toes

Longing for the home that I have never known

F Dm C

Worn down shoes and worn down clothes

A# Dm C

And no where to lay down my worn down bones

A# C F

Nowhere to lay down my bones

Dm A# F

There stands Billy a gleam in his eye

Dm A# C

One leg short and glass drunk dry

Dm F Dm F

He smells like sea shells sleeps under the sky

A# F C

And he'll play that tune til the day he dies

A# C F

He'll play that tune til the day he dies

[Chorus]

Dm F A# F

Oh roll you rolling waters

And Billy, play us a tune

I long for the sea

And nobody plays like you, like you

Nobody plays like you

It's sixteen years since we sailed the salt seas

And time's been no friend to you or to me

It's sixteen years since we sailed to the sun

A# F C

And Billy what have we done, done, done

A# C F

Billy what have we done?

Dm A# F

Oh, play to me that melody

Of waters sweet and waters deep

Dm F Dm F

It rolls me away to the rolling waves

It rolls me down to my sleep

It rolls me down to my sleep
