[Intro]
Em Asus2
A summer’s day so long ago
C Dsus2
A thousand boats dancing on the bay
Em Asus2
I came to you inside a dream
C Dsus2
We both held hands and fell into the water
[Instrumental]
Em Em Em7 Em Em Em7
[Verse 1]
Em Asus2
You never claimed to know me well
C Dsus2
The dark-eyed son, the privileged man
Em Asus2
You found me bitter, you thought me cold
C Dsus2
But now I’m gonna make you understand
[Refrain]
Em Asus2
My mother died, my father cried
C Dsus2
He left me lonely by the waterside
Em Asus2
Waterside, so deep and wide
C Dsus2
If I follow, maybe I will find her
[Instrumental]
Em Em Em7 Em Em Em7

Beyond the salt and spray
G A D B7
The current carried her away

Beyond the salt and spray

The current carried her away

Em Asus2
I can’t outrun my destiny
Cadd9 Dsus2
Tell me who will sing a song for me
Em Asus2
Darkness, darkness, cover me
Cadd9 Dsus2
By my own hand is the way it has to be
[Refrain]
Em Asus2
My mother died, my father cried
C Dsus2
He left me lonely by the waterside
Em Asus2
Waterside, so deep and wide
C Dsus2 Em Asus2
If I follow, maybe I will find her
C Dsus2 Em Asus2
If I follow, maybe I will find her,

...find her
