INTRO: [G] [D] [Em] [C]-[D]- (4x)
The [G]lights of the [D/F#]freighters, they [Em]danced on the [C]water
As they [G]tugged at the [D/F#]anchors that [Em]held them at [C]bay
And [G]lost in her [D/F#]arms, boys, [Em]I too was [C]dancing
I [G]traded the [D/F#]sea for the [Em]shore [C] -

INTERLUDE: [G] [D] [Em] [C]-[D]- (4x)
The [G]light from the [D/F#]moon turned the [Em]wet streets to [C]silver
As we [G]walked hand in [D/F#]hand up the [Em]road from the [C]bay
And [G]me glancing [D/F#]backwards from [Em]where I had [C]come, boys
I [G]traded the [D/F#]sea for the [Em]shore [C] -
[D] -
I [G]traded the [D/F#]sea for the [Em]shore [C] -
[D] -
The [G]lights from the [D/F#]streetlamps cast [Em]haloes u[C]pon us
As we [G]leaned by the [D/F#]railing at the [Em]foot of her [C]stairs
I [G]touched her cheek [D/F#]lightly, the [Em]skies now are [C]clearing

INTERLUDE: [G] [D] [Em] [C]-[D]- (4x)
The [G]light from the [D/F#]sun, well it [Em]shone through the [C]curtains
Touched the [G]edge of her [D/F#]shoulder, caught the [Em]glow in her [C]eyes
The [G]horn of the [D/F#]freighter called, "[Em]Home, wayward [C]sailors"
But I [G]traded the [D/F#]sea for the [Em]shore [C] -
