*intro chords*
This town, this stain on the sunrise
Disguised in the mist this morning
Maj7
It's 8AM, a seagull shouts a sailor's warning
*intro chords*
This sky, this bend in the river
Slows down and delivers me, the tide rolls back
Maj7
And all my memories fade to black
aj7
And yet, and yet I'm back
ch /ch
B9b5
This town has a strange magnetic pull
ch /ch
B9b5
Like a homing signal in your skull
*intro chords*
And you sail by the stars of the hemisphere
*intro chords*
Wondering how in the Hell did ye end up here?
It's like an underground river, or a hidden stream
That flows through your head, and haunts your dreams
And you stuffed those dreams in this canvas sack
Maj7
And there's nothing round here that the wide world lacks
aj7
And yet, and yet you're back
Some nights I'd lie on the deck and I'd stare at the turning of the stars
*intro chords*
Those constellations hanging up there from the cables and the rigging
I'd wonder if she saw the same, or managed to recall my name
Maj7
But why would she ever think of me? Some boy she loved who fled to sea?
Maj7
And why waste time debating whether she'd be waiting for the likes of me?
| F#mMaj7 F#m6 | x4
So ye drift into port with the scum of the seas
To the dance halls and the brothels where you took your ease!
And the ship's left the dock but you're half past caring
And ye haven't got a clue whose bed you're sharing
And your head's like a hammer on a bulkhead door
And it feels like somebody might have broken your jaw
And there's bloodstains and glass all over the floor
Maj7
And ye swear to God ye'll drink no more
s
And yet, and yet
*intro chords*
In truth, it's too late to find her
su
Too late to remind her at some garden gate
Where a servant tells me I should wait
su
And perhaps a door's slammed in my face
Maj7 a
My head must be in outer space
And yet, and yet
Before the sun has set
Before the sea
Maj7
There may be something else that's waiting for
aj7
The likes of me
*intro chords*
This town, this stain on the sunrise
