CAPO: 5th Fret
Intro: F C G7 C
~ G7 F C
Watching the sea 'til his day's work is done
F C Dm G7
The boatman rows to the setting sun
F G Dm C
Catching his oars in the silver sea
F C G7 C
He leans on the wind as you lean on me
Chorus:
G7 F C Em Am
Where the edge of the sea turns from blue to green
F C G7 C
There's a far-off shore that we've never seen
~ G7 F C
When the moon comes up in your sea-green eyes
F C Dm G7
And we sail away in the deep dark night
F G Dm C
I can't tell where you leave off and I begin
F C G7 C
Love is just a way of breathing out and in

G7 F C Em Am
Where the edge of the sea turns from blue to green
F C G7 C
There's a far-off shore that we've never seen

~ G7 F C
So it's cast away and both shall row
F C Dm G7
There's no telling how long or where we will go
F G Dm C
Rock on the water, race with the sun
F C G7 C
And follow your stars as they shine one by one
Chorus:
G7 F C Em Am
Where the edge of the sea turns from blue to green
F C G7 C
There's a far-off shore that we've never seen
