trying to

find,
I don’t

care, I’m not k

ind, I have

bludgeoned your sailors,
I’ve

them
With their

salt up the

stem, but you
F
frowned
When I smiled and I
Dm
tried to arrange them

You

G
said, “Let me tell you the
C
song of this town”
You said, “
F
Everything closes at
G
five.
After that, well, you just got the
Em
bars.”
F
You don’t know
G
how
Am
precious you
F
are
G
Walking a
Am
round with your
F
little shoes
G
dangling
Am
I am the
F
one who
G
lives with the
Dm
ocean.
“It’s where we
G
came from, you know.”
“And sometimes I just want to go
Em
back.
F
After a
G
day, we’ll
Am
drink ’til we’re
F
drowning
G
Walk to the
Am
ocean, wade
F
in with our
G
work-boots
Am
Wade in our
F
work-boots, try to
G
finish the
C
job.”

F
You don’t know
G
how
Am
precious you
F
are
G
I am the
Am
one who
F
lives with the
G
ocean
Am
You don’t know
F
how, I am the
Am
one
F
You don’t know
G
how,
