verse 1 
D           Bm             G         D 
Cold is the clime when the autumn is turning 
G           D             E              A7 
Cuts to the bone when the wind starts to blow 
D           Bm          G             D 
Not long to go till the cold watch is over 
G            D          E     A7     D 
Then will be my turn to sleep down below 
A                         Bm 
At home Katie Ann and the girls will be sleeping 
G           D            E           A7 
Maybe right now they are dreaming of me 
D            Bm         G             D 
What would I give to be right there beside them 
    G              D        E      A7     D 
How strange when I am that I dream of the sea 



D Bm G D For it's all I know the surf and the silver fishes G D E A7 If I've taken from them, they've taken from me D Bm G D And I long for the landing on the key to be standing G D E A7 D For I'm weary of dancing to the tune of the sea
D Bm G A verse 2 D Bm G D White horses prancing look fine from your window G D E A7 But somehow their beauty is wasted on me D Bm G D For when you're forced to look deep in their dark eyes G D E A7 D Concern for your welfare is not what you see A Bm The old trawler's mine, now I don't owe a penny G D E A7 There's only the diesel and pay for the crew D Bm G D But my debts to the sea still remain on the ledger G D E A7 D And if they're called, what the hell can I do
D Bm G D For it's all I know the surf and the silver fishes G D E A7 If I've taken from them, they've taken from me D Bm G D And I long for the landing on the key to be standing G D E A7 D For I'm weary of dancing to the tune of the sea
REPEAT Chorus
