The Sea Rose
From the album Unseen
[INTRO]
G
[VERSE 1]
G D G
Wrapped in the weeds of the shallows
C G
In the moon's drifting light
C G
Calling from the cold, wet rocks,
D G
the sea ro-ose of the low tides
[VERSE 2]
G D G
A passing ship along the coast
C G
heard her sadly calling
C G F#/G Em
and turned its sails to the sound,
G D G
of the rose, the sea rose calling
[REFRAIN]
Em D G
In the waves, the waves she's calling
[CHORUS]
D C G
Lonely, lonely, my heart is dark
C G D
the rocks lie cold beneath me
C G F#/G Em
Come closer, closer darling one
G D G
We'll marry in the seaweed
[SOLO]

[VERSE 3]
G D G
On the passing ship, a sailor boy,
C G
he heard the sea rose calling
C G F#/G Em
and from the bow he dove on down
G D G
to the waves, the waves are falling
[REFRAIN]
Em C G
The waves, the waves were falling
[VERSE 4]
G D G
Come, come my darling boy
C G
into my arms awaiting
C G F#/G Em
Down, down in the cold, dark sea
G D G
I'm waiting here to love you
[CHORUS]
D C G
To her arms, her lovely arms,
C G D
the currents pulled him splashing,
C G F#/G Em
but her body was only foaming waves
G D G
and her voice just water rushing
[OUTRO]
Em C G
In the waves the sea rose falling
Em D G
In the waves, the waves, my darling
Em D C G
The waves, the sea rose calling
