[VERSE 1]
I [C]found an old [G]letter caught [C]under a [G]stone
By the [C]sea in the [G]lee of the [F]cliffs, all a[G]lone
Its [C]pages were [Am]tattered from [Em]where it had [F]blown
To [Dm]land from the [C]hand of a [G]sailor, un[C]known
[F]There by the [C]coast of Si[G]erra Le[C]one
[VERSE 2]
"Dear Friend", it [G]read, "I have [C]missed you, you [G]know
When you [C]walked and you [G]talked with me [F]so long a[G]go
I [C]shoved you a[Am]side as I [Em]rushed to and [F]fro
[Dm]Friend, my old [C]friend, who [G]never let [C]go" [F] [C] [G] [C] [Am]
[CHORUS]
[Em]Friend, my old [F]friend, who looked out for [C]me
Through squalls and long [F]hauls, while I sailed the [G]sea
I [Am]need your [G]watchful [C]eye at the [F]prow
I know that [C]you know, I’m [Am]kneeling here [C]now
[INTERLUDE]
[C]
[VERSE 3]
My [C]ship hugs the [G]rocks, and the [C]gale’s my back [G]door
[C]Lashing and [G]smashing and [F]waging its [G]war
My [C]crew man the [Am]lifeboat, please [Em]see them a[F]shore
All [Dm]told, it won’t [C]hold even [G]one person [C]more
[F]Here by Si[C]erra Le[G]one’s rocky [C]floor
[VERSE 4]
Forgive my neg[G]lect, old [C]friend, it was my [G]loss
I [C]wait for my [G]fate as the [F]ship starts to [G]toss
I [C]feel the cold [Am]waters, I [Em]see the dark [F]moss
Will I [Dm]sail through this [C]gale or to [G]heaven on a [C]cross? [F] [C] [G] [C] [Am]
[CHORUS]
[Em]Friend, my old [F]friend, who looked out for [C]me
Through squalls and long [F]hauls, while I sailed the [G]sea
[Am]I’ll take the [G]wheel if [C]you’ll ride the [F]bow
You know that [C]I know, you’re [Am]standing here [C]now
[INTERLUDE]
[C]
[VERSE 5]
As I [C]stood on the [G]rocks of Si[C]erra Le[G]one
By the [C]sea, the blue [G]sea of Si[F]erra Le[G]one
[C]Close by the [Am]spot where the [Em]letter had [F]blown
And [Dm]thought for [C]naught of the [G]sailor, un[C]known
[F]There by the [C]coast of Si[G]erra Le[C]one
[VERSE 6]
Then I saw old [G]letters carved [C]into the [G]stone
By the [C]sea, the blue [G]sea of Si[F]erra Le[G]one
'[C]Thank you, old [Am]Friend', just [Em]those words, a[F]lone
Carved [Dm]there like a [C]prayer by a [G]sailor, un[C]known
[F]Here on the [C]coast of Si[G]erra Le[C]one
[F]Here by the [C]hand of a [G]sailor, un[C]known
I [C]found an old [G]letter caught [C]under a [G]stone
By the [C]sea in the [G]lee of the [F]cliffs, all a[G]lone
