Tuning:E A D G B E
Key:A
Capo:2nd fret
[Intro]
G
[Verse 1]
G
Sitting by the water's edge
Em
You dipped your feet to bathe your legs
G
It’s like I'm dreaming all over again
G
I'd sail with you across the sea
Em
Storms can rage as fierce as they may please
G
They won’t phase me
[Chorus]
Am Bm
Oh, your eyes they're as pretty as the lights
C
In the city lightin' up the hearts
G
While darkness sews its thread
Bm C
Your hair is as golden as the dust
G
That has fallen from the stars
D
And sleeps on the ocean bed
G
Here we are sitting by the water's edge
D G
Here we are sitting by the water's edge
[Verse 2]
G
You picked an apple from the tree
Em
To smell the summer in its skin
G
Sweet like a breeze
G
We stay till moonlight lit the bay
Em
And danced until the rain set in
C
Falling all over again
D G
Ah ah again, Ah ah again
[Chorus]
Am Bm
Oh, your eyes they're as pretty as the lights
C
In the city lightin' up the hearts
G
While darkness sews its thread
Bm C
Your hair is as golden as the dust
G
That has fallen from the stars
D
And sleeps on the ocean bed
G
Here we are sitting by the water's edge
D G
Here we are sitting by the water's edge

For the rest of the song, start back at the beginning. In my version, I play chords instead of the tabs
for the second chorus. They are as follows:

Sitting by the water's edge
You dipped your feet to bathe your legs
It’s like I'm dreaming all over again
I'd sail with you across the sea
Storms can rage as fierce as they may please
They won’t phase me
Oh, your eyes they're as pretty as the lights
In the city lightin' up the hearts
While darkness sews its thread
Your hair is as golden as the dust
That has fallen from the stars
And sleeps on the ocean bed
Here we are sitting by the water's edge
You picked an apple from the tree
To smell the summer in its skin
Sweet like a breeze
We stay till moonlight lit the bay
And danced until the rain set in
Falling all over again
Ah ah again, Ah ah again
Oh, your eyes they're as pretty as the lights
In the city lightin' up the hearts
While darkness sews its thread
Your hair is as golden as the dust
That has fallen from the stars
And sleeps on the ocean bed
Here we are sitting by the water's edge
Here we are, ooh hoo
Sitting by the water's edge
Singing hahhh ahah
Hahhh ahah, hahhh ahah ha
Singing hahhh ahah
Hahhh ahah, hahhh ahah ha
