Dm
Jackie left on a cold dark night,
A
telling me she'd be home.
C
Sail the seas for a hundred years,
G Dm
Leaving me all alone.
Dm
And I've been dead for twenty years,
A
I've been washing the sand with my ghostly tears.
C Dm
Searching the shores for my Jackie ohh,
Dm
I remember the day the young men came,
A
Said, "Your Jackie's gone, we got lost in the rain,"
C Dm
And I ran to the beach, and laid me down.
Dm
"You're all wrong," I said, As they stared at the sand,
A
"My woman knows that sea like the back of her hand,
C Dm
She'll be back sometime, laughing at you."
Dm
And I've been waiting for all this time,
A
for my woman to come, take her hand in mine,
C Dm
and lead me away to unseen shores.
Dm
I've been washing the sand with my salty tears,
A
searching the shores, these long years.
C Dm
And I'll walk the sea, forever more.
C Dm
Till I find my Jackie oh,
C Dm
Till I find my Jackie oh,
C Dm C Dm C Dm C Dm
Till I found my Jackie ohhh, Jackie ohh, Jackie ohhh.
