[Verse 1]
[Am]The wind is
a'whipping through the open doors
Speaking of the sea and
the rolling' waves
[C]Maybe there's a ship at the
bottom now
or struggling on the surface
with a cry for help
[Dm]Wish I could forget
and let the years go by
[E]Wish I could escape from my dreams [Am]of[E][Am][E]
[Am]youT[E]went[Am]y years ago it w[E]as a howling[Am] storm
as the voice of a [E]god from
a [Am]great bey[C]ond
I was standing on the shore
as the sky grew dark
with a hand on a bible and
a hand on my heart
[Dm]Wish I could forget
and let the years go by
[E]Wish I could escape from my
dreams of [Am]you[E][Am]

[Verse 2]
Because [C]all I have [G]left [Dm]is
the voice of the [Am]wind
[F]Blowing through the [G]doors
of our [Am]house[E][Am]
[E]The sun

[Verse 3]
[Am]was dryi[E]ng up the
[Am]rain in our sky
Shining gold in our [E]sails and
our [Am]hearts standing by
Remem[C]ber what they're singing
on their way to the sea:
“Goodbye fare thee well,
goodbye for [Dm]me”
Wish I could forget
and let the years go by
[E]Wish I could escape from my dreams
of [Am]you[E][Am][E][Am]
[E]

[Verse 4]
Empty were the coffins and
the house where we lived
as the [Am]grave that I [E]dug
by our place on the [Dm]beach
[C]How I wish the water could
be poured out of the sea
so I can go and [G]get you
back [C]ashore with me
[Dm]Wish I could forget
and let the years go by
[E]Wish I could [Am]es[E][Am][C]
