[Verse 1]

Em9 Cmaj7 Am9

All along the lee shore

Em9 Cmaj7 Am9

Shells lie scattered in the sand

Em9 Cmaj7 Am7 G Gsus4 G

Winking up like shining eyes, at me

Em9 A Em9 A

* *

From the sea

[Verse 2]

Em9 Cmaj7 Am9

Here is one like sunrise

Em9 Cmaj7 Am9

It's older than you know

Em9 Cmaj7 Am7 G Gsus4 G

It's still lying there where some careless wave

Em9 A Em9 A

* *

Forgot it long ago

[Verse 3]

Em9 Cmaj7 Am9

When I awoke this morning

Em9 Cmaj7 Am9

I dove beneath my floating home

Em9 Cmaj7 Am7 G Gsus4 G

Down below her graceful side in the turning tide

Em9 A Em9 A

* *

To watch the sea fish roam

[Verse 4]

Em9 Cmaj7 Am9

There I heard a story

Em9 Cmaj7 Am9

From the sailors of the Sandra Marie

Em9 Cmaj7 Am7 G Gsus4 G

There's another island a day's run away from here

Em9 A Em9 A

* *

And it's empty and free

[Verse 5]

Em9 Cmaj7 Am9

From here to Venezuela

Em9 Cmaj7 Am9

There's nothing more to see

Em9 Cmaj7 Am7 G Gsus4 G

Than a hundred thousand islands flung like jewels upon the sea

Em9 A Em9 A

* *

For you and me

[Instrumental]

Em9 Cmaj7 Am9

Em9 Cmaj7 Am7 G Gsus4 G

Em9 A Em9 A

[Verse 6]

Em9 Cmaj7 Am9

Sunset smells of dinner

Em9 Cmaj7 Am9

Women are calling at me to end my tales

Em9 Cmaj7 Am7 G Gsus4 F

But perhaps I'll see you, the next quiet place

Em9 A Em9 A Em11
