At the Harbour

(início)

Am              D
Out at daybreak to the sun
C                 D
Seas are drifting glass
    Am                D
The tides were turning to the storm
C                 D
Winds were moving fast
F             G
Women waiting at the harbour
C              E
Silent stand around
F               G
Weather storms another day
    C               E
For men the sea has found
Am              D
Fisherman were laying nets
C                     D
The barrels spread the bait
    Am              D
The seagulls warning echoed round
C                  D
Winds that wouldn't wait
F                G
People gathered at the harbour
C               E
Waiting for the tide
F                 G
Eyes half closed against the spray
C                     E
And tears they cannot hide

Am              Dm
Shadows falling at the harbour
G            C
Women stant around
Am               Dm
Weather storms another way
    G       Em      Am         D       C      D
For man the sea had drowned
Am                  D
Hulls were creaking crashing sails
C                   D
Rains were slanting down
     Am                D
The oilskins flapping, decks awash
C                D
Slanting turning round
F               G
Thunder roaring at the harbour
C              E
Women drawn in fear
F                 G
Huddle up to wait the time
C                    E
And pray the sky well clear
Am                    D
Howling winds and the raging waves
C                D
Cracked upon the boats
    Am                        D
And torn from safety, torn from life
C               D
Men with little hope
F              G
Ghostly echoes at the harbour
C             E
Whispering of death
F              G
Women weeping holding hands
C                        E
Of those they still have left
