Verse 1:
Bm AGmaj7
We wandered through the shipyards
A Bm
through the timber and the rope
D GF#mA
and the wise men saw the longing in our eyes
Bm F#m
So they made for each of us
Bm F#m D Bm
a ship of dust with sails of trust
A Gmaj7Bm
and the sun behind us vanished from the skies
Verse 2:
Bm A Gmaj7
Now it's a long time since the sunset
A Bm
and the time we raised the sails
D GF#mA
and the time the old shipbuilders waited for
Bm F#m
There are wonders in the night
Bm F#m D Bm
there are strange and dangerous shades of light
A Gmaj7 Bm
but the dawn is gonna see me on that shore
Bridge:
E A D A Bm
Sweet stars mark the night
E A F# BmD
Fair winds arc the right waves over my prow-
A
I am homeward
Verse 3:
Bm AGmaj7
Wooden wheels and oaken rudders
A Bm
bend like grass against the sea
D G F#mA
and the canvas fails and falls against our hope
Bm F#m
I am climbing on the mast
Bm F#m D Bm
and I see a trace of dawn at last
A Gmaj7 Bm
and I feel a strange new feeling in the rope
Verse 4:
Bm A Gmaj7
Now the sun splits the horizon
A Bm
where I thought the beach to be
D GF#mA
and the graveyard for the ships done with the sea
Bm F#m
But I'm on a sea of glass
Bm F#m D Bm
and the light is more than sun can pass
AGmaj7 Bm
and the deck is turning silver under me
End:
EA D A Bm
Sweet stars mark my mind
E A F# BmD
Fair winds you can find me sailing your source-
A
I am homeward
F#sus4F#Bm
