The Wild Wild Sea

Eb/Db Ddim D E

Dbm7      Ebm7       E   Gb7
I  saw it again this evening
Dbm7   Gb            Ab7
Black sail in a pale yellow sky
Dbm7        Ebm7        E  Gb
And just as before in a moment,
Dbm7                  Gb9  Ab7
It was gone where the grey gulls fly

B             Gb            Gbmaj7 Gb
If it happens again I shall wor    ry
Gb          Abm
That only a strange ship could fly
Dbm7   Ebm7   E         Gb6
And my sanity scans the horizon
Dbm7                Gb        Ab7
In the light of the darkening sky

Gb6       Ab6                Bb9  Ab6
That night as I walked in my slumber
Gb6     Ab6          Eb
I waded into the sea strand
Gb6        Ab6               Bb6  Ab6
And I swam with the moon and her lover
Dbmaj7       Ab           Ab6
Until I lost sight of the land

Ab              Db           Ab
I swam till the night became morning
Gb6    Ab6                Eb
Black sail in a reddening sky
Gb6                 Ab6
Found myself on the deck of a rolling ship
Dbm7   Ebm7                Ab    Gb6
So far where no grey gulls fly

Ab            Db  Ab
All around me was silence
Ebm  Abmaj7              Db
As   if mocking my frail human hopes
Ab                              Db Ab
And a question mark hung in the canvas
Ab                    Abm     Db  Ab     Gb6
For the wind that had died in the ropes

Ab6               Db     Ab     Ebm
I may have slept for an hour
Ab6         Dbmaj7     Db
I may have slept for a day
Ab
For I woke in a bed of white linen
Dbm7    Ebm7                 Ab
And the sky was the color of clay

Eaug Ab Dbm Gb Emaj7 Gb Ebm7 Db B6

Dbm7            Ebm7      E6         Gbmaj7
At first just a rustle of canvas
Dbm7             Ebm7         Ab7
And the gentlest breath on my face
Dbm7   Ebm7              Eb
But a galloping line of white horses
Gb        Dbm          Ebm      Ab7
Said that soon we were in for a race

Gb6             Ab6         Dbmaj7 Ab
The gentle sigh turned to a how    ling
Gb6      Ab6                    Eb   Ab
And the grey sky she angered to black
Gb6     Ab6
And my anxious eyes searched the horizon
Dbm7     B         Gb        Ab
With the gathering sea at my back

Gb6           Ab6        Dbmaj7 Ab
Did I see the shade of a sail   or?
Gb6    Ab6                           Eb   Ab
On the bridge through the wheelhouse pane
Gb6        Ab6                B       Ab6
Held fast to the wheel of the rocking ship
Dbm7                         Ab
As I squinted my eyes in the rain

Gb6     Ab6               Db     Ab
For the ship had turned into the wind
Gb6     Ab6       Eb
Against the storm to brace
Gb6     Ab6        Db       Ab
And underneath the sailor's hat
B        Ebm7 Ab7    E
I saw my fa   ther's face

Ebm7        Ab       Db  Ab
If a prayer today is spoken
Ab     Db
Please offer it for me
Ebm                Ab        Db Ab
When the bridge to heaven is broken
B                      Abm7        Abm
And you're lost on the wild, wild sea
Dbm7       Ebm7        Ab
Lost on the wild, wild sea...
Dbm7        Abm7       Ab
Lost on the wild, wild sea...
B          B9          Ab
Lost on the wild, wild sea...
