Evenings Curtain by Mark Erelli
Evenings Curtain
CAPO: 2nd fret
[Verse 1]
D G D
It's written of in papers, books and magazines
G D
For centuries adventurers set sail
G D
In schooners, clippers, sloops and brigs and barque tines
A G D
O'er the deep blue ocean to prevail
[Verse 2]
G D
Believing their dominion o'er the great salt sea
G D
They'd snare the fish and smite the mighty whale
G D
But for every man who lived to boast his victory
A G D
A score or more were thwarted by the gale
[Chorus]
C G D
As evenings curtain falls upon me like a shroud
C G D
I'm thinking of their cold eternal sleep
C G D
Beneath the waves far too many souls to count
A G D
Lost out in the darkness on the deep
[Verse 3]
G D
There always will be men who sail the ocean blue
G D
But the romance is a thing of history
G D
In these hard times a man just does what he has to
A G D
Providing for his wife and family
[Verse 4]
G D
Not long ago just off the coast of Provincetown
G D
They found a radio beacon bobbing in a field of debris
G D
Three days they did search but they never found
A G D
The crew who worked aboard the Candy B
[Chorus]
C G D
As evenings curtain falls upon me like a shroud
C G D
I'm thinking of their cold eternal sleep
C G D
Beneath the waves far too many souls to count
A G D
Lost out in the darkness on the deep
