Bm       F#m   A        E   Bm        
Sweet surrender on the quay side   
Bm      F#m    A        E         Bm   
You remember we used to run and hide   
        Bm                   F#m                            
In the shadows of cargoes, I take you on time,   
A                     D   E       
Counting all the numbers   
                  Bm   
Down to the waterline   
Bm       F#m   A        E      Bm   
Near misses on the dogleap stairways   
Bm       F#m   A        E7      Bm   
French kisses in the darkened doorways   
 Bm                   F#m       
Foghorn blowing out wild and cold   
A                     D  E             Bm   
A policeman shines a light upon my shoulder   
Lead 1  G  Bm  G  A  Bm   
Bm            F#m     A        E              Bm   
Up comes a coaster, fast and silent through the night   
Bm             F#m   A        E              Bm   
Over my shoulder, all you can see are pilot lights   
 Bm                       F#m      
No money in our jackets and jeans are torn   
A                     D   E                                                                                    B   
Your hands are cold but your lips are warm

she can see you in the jetty where you used to go   
Bm            F#m     A        E              Bm   
she can see you in the places where the sailors go   
Bm                          F#m      
when she's walking down the river on the railway line   
A                     D  E        
she can still hear you whisper   
                          Bm   
Lets go down to the water line   
come on.
