         G           Em 
There he stood on the shore 
         C            G 
With the world in his eyes 
         Am          Em 
Then he left his Home 
          C         D 
And his family behind 
        C              G 
And he cast his nets out 
        C           G 
On the wide open seas 
           Am          Em 
Where the warm winds cover 
    C              G       G 
The face of the deep 


       G               Em 
Oh the shadows stretch out 
            C                G 
Through the streets of the town 
         Am            Em 
And the dark lonely night 
            C              D 
Sets its snares all around 
        C               G 
But the boats sail at dawn 
       C            G 
Under confident skies 
          Am            Em 
Where the men of the island 
          C              G       G 
Leave to follow their lives 


      G          Em 
I remember the night 
          C           G 
When the going got rough 
         Am              Em 
How you fought for that sea 
         C           D 
You were so worthy of 
           C                G 
Though the storm raged and tore 
       C            G 
Like a merciless fire 
     Am         Em 
All you ever felt 
  C             G       G 
Was peace of mind
