Verse 1
Am The daylight quickly fading, Dm with his headache wearing off, G the collar of his over coat Am E7 Am muffling his cough. Dm A siren from a ship Am barely made him raise his head, E since he'd missed the boat to Malmo, Am E Am he'd try Gothenburg instead.
Verse 2
Am Outside snow was falling, Dm like torn up betting slips, G confetti for the jilted, wedding Am E Am night of passing ships. Dm And if they ever find her, Am she'll be one more on the list, E and if they never find her, Am E Am how long will she be missed

Verse 3
Am Black skeletons of cranes Dm against the snow at night, G witness dockside shadows Am E Am that negotiate the night. Dm Lost souls flew like seagulls Am who have slipped their earthly chain, E risen and returned Am E Am as the snow turns into rain.
Middle 8
F While the Filipino sailors Am with a flag from Panama E silently slipped moorings, he stayed Am E7 Am anchored at the bar. F The barmaid poured his beer Am without a second glance, E7 and set it on the counter Am E Am with a shot of Gammel Dansk.

Verse 4, first bars instrumental solo
Am Dm G Am E Am Dm7 Dm7/G Any dockside drive E7/G# Am is a harbour not a home E Life is black and white, Am E Am and the world is monochrome
Middle 8
F While the Filipino sailors Am with a flag from Panama E left the harbour's safety Am E7 Am to the open sea once more F Their world moved safely backwards Am as the vessel headed past, E7 he lent forward on the counter Am E7 Am and drained another glass.

Verse 5
Am As he pulled out his cigarettes, Dm loose change spilled on the floor, G like a clue left for the cleaners Am E Am as he tilted out the door. Dm And through the bones of cranes Am the wind began to blow, E birds settled on the water Am E Am and the rain turned back to snow.
