Capo 3
G D
Long afloat on shipless oceans
Em C
I did all my best to smile
G D
'til your singing eyes and fingers
Em C
Drew me loving to your isle
G
And you sang
F C
Sail to me, Sail to me
G
Let me enfold you
Em D
Here I am Here I am
C G
Waiting to hold you
G D
Did I dream you dreamed about me?
Em C
Were you hare when I was fox?
G D
Now my foolish boat is leaning
Em C
Broken lovelorn on your rocks,
G
For you sing,
F
'touch me not,
C
touch me not,
G
come back tomorrow:
Em D
O my heart, o my heart
C G
shies from the sorrow'
G D Em C (2x)
G D
I am puzzled as the newborn child
Em C
I am troubled at the tide:
G D
Should I stand amid the breakers?
Em C
Should I lie with death my bride?
Em D
Hear me sing, 'swim to me,
C G
swim to me, let me enfold you:
Em D
Here I am, here I am,
C G
waiting to hold you'
