[Verse 1]
I [Am]saw it a[Bm]gain this [C]even[D]ing
Black sail in a pale yellow [Esus4]sky
[D]And just as befor[Bm]e in a mo [C]ment
[D]It was gon[Am]e where the gre[D]y gulls f[Esus4]ly.

[Verse 2]
If it [Am]hap pens again I[Bm] shall w[D]orry
That only a strange ship [Esus4]could fly
And [Am]my sanity [Bm]scans the [C]horizon
[D]In the light of the darkening sky[Esus4].
[D]

[Verse 3]
That night as I [E]walked in
my [A]slum[E]ber
[D]I waded into [E]the sea [B]strand
And I [Bm]swam with the
[E]moon and her [Em]lover[E]
Un[A]til I lost [B]sight of the [E]land

[Verse 4]
I [D]swam till the [E]night became [A]morn[E]ing
Black [D]sail in a [E]reddening [B]sky
Found my[D]self on the
[E]deck of a [Em]rolling ship[E]
So [Am]far where no [Bm]grey gull[Esus4]s fly
[D]

[Verse 5]
All [E]around me was [A]silence
[E]As if mocking my frail hum[A]an hopes
And a [B]question [E]mark hung in the
[A]can[E]vas
For the [Am]wind that had [Bm]died
in the [Esus4]ropes[E]

[Verse 6]
[D]I may have [E]slept for an [A]hour[E]
[B]I may h[E]ave slept f[A]or a day
[B]For I woke [E]in a bed of white
[A]linen[E]
And the sky [Am]was the colour of [D]clay.[C][Bm][D][C][D]
[C][Esus4][C][Em][Esus4][D][Esus4]
[C]

[Verse 7]
[Am]At first just [C]a rustle of can
[D]vas
And the gentlest breath
[Esus4]on my face
[Am]But a galloping [Bm]line of white
[C]horses[D]
Said that soon [Am]we were in [Bm]for a [Esus4]race
[D]The gentle sigh tur[E]ned to a

[Verse 8]
[A]howling
[E]And the gre[D]y sky
[E]she angered [B]to black
And my [D]anxious eyes
[E]searched the ho[A]rizon[E]
With the [Am]gathering s[Bm]ea at [Esus4]my back[E]
[D]Did I see the [E]shade of a

[Verse 9]
[A]sail[E]or
On the [D]bridge through the
[E]wheelhouse [B]pane
[Bm]Held fast [D]to the wheel
[E]of the rocking shi[A]p[E]
As I squin[Am]ted my eye[D]s in the [Esus4]rain

[Verse 10]
For the [D]ship had turned [E]into [A]the wind[E]
[D]Against [E]the storm to [B]brace
And un[D]derneath [E]the sailor's [A]hat[E]
I saw [Am]my f[Bm]ather'[E]s face[C]

[Am]If a pray

[Verse 11]
[Bm]er today [E]is spo[A]ken[E]
Please [B]of [E]fer it for [A]me
When the [B]bridge to heav[E]en is [A]broken[E]
And [Em]you're lost [Am]on[C]
[Am]the wild [Esus4]wild sea
[Am]Lost [C]on [Esus4]the wild[E][Am][C]
[Bm][Esus4][E]
[Am]wild[Bm] sea..[E].
