C#m F#m
To [F#]carry [G]to the shore
A6 E
[Em]Straining at the [D]oars
[F#]G#7 C#m
Or staring from the rail
E -A B7

And [D]the [G]anchor hit[Em]s the sand[A]
[G]The hungry [F#m]hands
Have [Bm]tied them to the [G]port
[Em]The hour will be s[D]hort
For [F#]leisure on the [Bm]land
And the [D]girls [G]scent the air[A]
[G]They seem so [F#m]fair
[Bm]With paint on their [Em]face
Soft [G]is their [F#m]em brace
to [F#]lead them up the [Bm]stairs
[Em]Soon [G]your sailing will be ove[A]r[D]

[Verse 3]
In [D]the room dark and [A]dim
Touch [F#m]of skin
He [Bm]asks her of her [G]name
She [Em]answers with no [Bm]shame
And [F#]not a sense of s[Bm]in
[D]Until the fingers draw the [A]blinds
Sip of [F#m]wine
The [Bm]cigarette of [G]doubt
The [Em]candle is blown [Bm]out
[F#]The darkness is so [Bm]kind
[G]Soon your sailing will be [F#m]over
[C]Come and take the pleasures of [Bm]the harbor

[Verse 4]
the shadows frame [A]the light
Same old [F#m]sight
[Bm]Thrill has blown [G]away
Now [Em]all alone they l[Bm]ay
Two [F#]strangers in the [Bm]night
Till [D]his heart skips a [A]beat
He's on his [F#m]feet
[Bm]To shipmates he must [G]join
She's [Em]counting up the [Bm]coins
He's [F#]swallowed by the [Bm]street
[G]Soon your sailing will [F#m]be over
[C]Come and take the pleasures of [A]the [F#]har bor

[Verse 5]
In [D]the bar hangs a [A]cloud
The whiskey's [C]loud
[Am]Ther[B]e's laughter in their eyes[Gm]
The [A]lonely in disguse
Are [G]clinging [F#]to the cr[Bm]owd
And the [D]bottle [G]fills the gla[A]ss
The haze is [F#m]fast
He's trem[Bm]bling for the [Em]taste
Of passion gone to [D]waste
In [F#]memories of the [Bm]past
[G]Soon your sailing will be [F#m]over
[C]Come and take the pleasures of the [Bm]harbor

Cry of [F#m]pain
[Bm]For love was [D]but [G]a smile
[Em]Teasing all [D]the while

[D]'Till [G]the boys reach the [A]dock
