Down by the sea

A G - A - G A G - A - D

1. Down by the sea, I found your hidden treasure,

A G - A - G A G - A - D

just you and me, we overdosed on pleasure.

A G - A - G A G - A - D

2. Yonnies in the wind, we're ruggin' up for winter,

A G - A - G A G - A - D

putting out the bins in cold and windy weather.

A G - A - G A G - A - D

Down by the docks, live all the silent sea-ships,

A G - A - G A G - A - D

crates are stored on blocks, where now only the rats live.

F G

Sail me down the river, till we reach the shore,

Bb C G

diving into the center, eating out the core.

A G - A - G A G - A - D

3. Down on the beach, saluting Captain Benbow,

A G - A - G A G - A - D

always out of reach, it's quiet when the tide's low.

A G - A - G A G - A - D

Climbing up the cliffs, you can see for miles far,

A G - A - G A G - A - D

the boat that ran adrift is sitting on the sandbar.

F G

Laughing at the waves that storm the river mouth,

Bb C G

the ice is on the move now, creeping north and south.

F G

Listen to your heart, screamin' at the sky !

Bb C G

can't you feel it tremble? Don't you wonder why?
