   Bm           Bsus2      B            Bm
An old man by a seashore At the end of day
A         G             A               Bm
Gazes the horizon With seawinds in his face
Bm             Bsus2     B            Bm
Tempest-tossed island Seasons all the same
A             G            A              Bm
Anchorage unpainted And a ship without a name


Bm              Bsus2       B              Bm
Sea without a shore for the banished one unheard
A              G       A                      Bm
He lightens the beacon, light at the end of world
Bm              Bsus2       B
Showing the way lighting hope in their hearts
A                 G       A              Bm
The ones on their travels homeward from afar

Bm           G    D   A  Bm   G            D         Em   Bm
This is for long-for-got-ten  light at the end of the wor--ld

   G  D   A   Bm       G               D          Em
Ho-ri-zon cry-ing  the tears he left behind long ago

(intro)



Bm               Bsus2  B             Bm
The albatross is flying Making him daydream
A               G             A               Bm
The time before he became One of the world's unseen
Bm              Bsus2  B               Bm
Princess in the tower, Children in the fields
A                G       A                Bm
Life gave him it all: An island of the universe



Bm               Bsus2    B            Bm
Now his love's a memory A ghost in the fog
A                     G                A               Bm
He sets the sails one last time Saying farewell to the world
Bm            Bsus2 B          Bm
Anchor to the water Seabed far below
A              G              A                 Bm
Grass still in his feet And a smile beneath his brow

I Want My Tears Back

Islander

Em                             D 
They came for him one winter's night. 
Em                    D 
Arrested, he was bound. 
Em                          	 D 
They said there'd been a robbery, 
C	   D	    Em 
his pistol had been found.  
 

Em		      G 
They marched him to the station house, 
Em	         D 
he waited for the dawn. 
Em	                       G 
And as they led him to the dock, 
D			Em 
he knew that he'd been wronged. 
C	D         Em            D
"You stand accused of robbery," 
G            D          Em      D 
he heard the bailiff say. 
C         D        Em        D 
He knew without an alibi, 
G                  D                 Bm             D 
tomorrow's light would mourn his freedom --  
 
 
Em        G	            D	     Em 
Over the hills and far away, 
    D	 G	 C	 D 
for ten long years he'll count the days. 
Em        G	             D	         Em 
Over the mountains and the seas, 
   D	 G        C               D 
a prisoner's life for him there'll be.  
 
Em		G 
He knew that it would cost him dear, 
Em	            D 
but yet he dare not say. 
Em		      G 
Just where he'd been that fateful night, 
D	        Em 
a secret it must stay. 
C	D         Em            D
He had to fight back tears of rage. 
G            D          Em      D 
His heart beat like a drum. 
C           D          Em              D 
For with the wife of his best friend, 
G              D               Bm          D 
he spent his final night of freedom --  

 
Em        G	            D	     Em 
Over the hills and far away, 
    D	 G	 C	 D 
for ten long years he'll count the days. 
Em           G	     D	    Em 
Far from the mountains and the seas, 
   D	 G        C               D 
a prisoner's life for him there'll be.  
Em        G	            D	     Em D 
Over the hills and far away, 
Em 
Over the hills and, 
 
over the hills and, 
D 
over the hills and far away.  
 
 
Solo 
 
C	D         Em            D
Each night within his prison cell, 
G            D          Em      D 
he looks out through the bars. 
C         D        Em        D 
He reads the letters that she wrote. 
G                  D                 Bm             D 
One day he'll know the taste of freedom --  
 

Em        G	          D	     Em 
Over the hills and far away, 
      D	   G        C          D 
she prays he will return one day. 
Em	        G     D             Em 
As sure as the rivers reach the seas, 
        D	 G      C              D 
back in his arms again she'll be.  



F#m       A	         E	     F#m 
Over the hills and far away, 
      E	   A        D          E 
she prays he will return one day.

Turn Loose The Mermaids

Verse 1:
           B
I'm going back to the time when we owned this town
      E
Down Powder Mill Lane, in the battlegrounds
C#m        B                   G#m  B     F#
We were friends and lovers and clueless clowns


Verse 2:
                      B       
I didn't know I'd be finding out now I was torn from you
         E
When we thought about things we were gonna do
C#m      B                    G#m B  F# 
We were wide eyed dreamers and wiser too


Chorus:
               E              B 
Go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café


Verse 3:
                          B
I'm begging you for some sign, but you've still got nothing to say
        E
Don't turn your back on me, don't walk away
C#m     B                   G#m  B   F#
I'm a better man now than I was that day


Chorus:
                      E              B 
Let's go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café

                 E               B
Go down to the bandstand on the pier
           G#m                    F#
Watch the drunks and the lovers appear
                      E                     G#m   F#     
Take time, just the stars at the Sovereign Light Café


Bridge:
   E        B           F#
I wheel my bike off the train,
        F#
Up the North Trade Road,
 E        B             F# 
Look for you on Marley Lane
                          G#m
In every building, every streetlight
                   E               F#  G#m  B  F#
Oh why did we ever go so far from home?


Verse 4:
                        B
You keep on leaving me mile long traces of who you are
         E
You can get a big house and a faster car
C#m      B                    G#m   B  F#
You can run away boy, but you won't go far


Chorus:
                      E              B
Let's go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café

                    E                B
Stroll down to the bandstand on the pier
           G#m                    F#
Watch the drunks and the lovers appear
                     E                      G#m   F#
Take time, just the stars at the Sovereign Light Café

American Dream 

G Bm Em A
Well everybody's lookin' for something they can't find,
Walking straight ahead blind-folded production line,
Only taking time for one type of shoe-shine.
Don't look left/right now you got a street fine.
Everybody lookin' for just a little more.
Working late-nights trying to fight off the day glow.
Waiting for the come-around but it is a no show.
Driving in the fast lane lookin' for the slow-mo...

C D A
Oh whats in store I don't know anymore.
Oh what's inside 'cos I can't hide from it no more.
Oh what you see well it's not me anymore.
Oh I don't know well I don't know man anymore because 

G Bm Em A
I tell you once I tell you twice, gonna be a long time
But you don't take no one's advice, gonna be a long time you,
Where were you, you weren't listenin', gonna be a long time
Gonna be a long time.

G Bm Em A
So now you're face down, face lookin like a frying pan.
Hitting up the clubs trying to feel like a real man.
Beating your chest just like you're King Kong but you're just a gui-tar no-string no-song.
Feeling free like ya don't even know it, man you're towing the line hoping you just don't blow it.
Man ya stuck in the mainframe trying to win the big game so much potential it even makes it more of a shame, shame, shame...
Here we go again, same old shit just another name.
Looking at the destiny there in your palm,
But now you got your strings but you got no song.
So sing, sing, sing - shake it like a chicken wing.
It's not what you get it's about what you bring-bring-bring.
So bring it, bring it to the table, not because you have to 'cos you're willing and you're able!

C D A
Oh what's in store I don't know anymore.
Oh what's inside 'cos I can't hide from it no more.
Oh what you see well it's not me anymore.
Oh I don't know, I don't know anymore because 

G Bm Em A
I tell you once I tell you twice, gonna be a long time.
But you don't take no one's advice, gonna be a long time.
You, where were you, you weren't listening, gonna be a long time.
Gonna be a long time.
