Verse:
 
G G/F# Cadd9
Don't go out in the night
 
G G/F# Cadd9
Even though you know the town
 
G G/F# Cadd9
someone always wants to fight
 
G G/F# Cadd9
You end up lying on the ground
 
Am F
I dream of lying in the sun
 
Am G
In my ears hear the ocean roaring
 
Am F
Like all good wayfaring sons
 
Am G
Travel home and the rain is pouring
 
G
Soaks me to the skin, I duck into this public house and get shattered by the din.
