The Surf And The Silver Fishes by The Clydesiders
The Surf And The Silver Fishes
Tuning: Standard
Capo 2
VERSE 1
D Bm G D
Cold is the clime when the autumn is turning
G D E A7
Cuts to the bone when the wind starts to blow
D Bm G D
Not long to go till the cold watch is over
G D E A7 D
Then will be my turn to sleep down below
A Bm
At home Katie Ann and the girls will be sleeping
G D E A7
Maybe right now they are dreaming of me
D Bm G D
What would I give to be right there beside them
G D E A7 D
How strange when I am that I dream of the sea
CHORUS
D Bm G D
For it's all I know the surf and the silver fishes
G D E A7
If I've taken from them, they've taken from me
D Bm G D
And I long for the landing on the key to be standing
G D E A7 D
For I'm weary of dancing to the tune of the sea
D Bm G A
VERSE 2
D Bm G D
White horses prancing look fine from your window
G D E A7
But somehow their beauty is wasted on me
D Bm G D
For when you're forced to look deep in their dark eyes
G D E A7 D
Concern for your welfare is not what you see
A Bm
The old trawler's mine, now I don't owe a penny
G D E A7
There's only the diesel and pay for the crew
D Bm G D
But my debts to the sea still remain on the ledger
G D E A7 D
And if they're called, what the hell can I do
CHORUS
D Bm G D
For it's all I know the surf and the silver fishes
G D E A7
If I've taken from them, they've taken from me
D Bm G D
And I long for the landing on the key to be standing
G D E A7 D
For I'm weary of dancing to the tune of the sea
REPEAT CHORUS
