[Verse 1]
I heard [E]a story about a [F]boy
Who was [E]swept off [F]the deck
[E]The sweeping tide swe[F]pt
the sea [E]over his neck
But it did not [F]end there,
[E]the boy began [F]to [E]swim
And dared to the [F]sea that
[E]dared to invade him

[Verse 2]
[Am][Chorus]
Did you [E]ever [C]want [F]to know me[C]
And [Am]did you [E]ever f[F]eel like I c[C]ould
And [Am]did you [E]ever w[F]ant to know [C]me
And [Am]did you [E]ever f[F]eel like I[C] could

[Verse 3]
[Dm]It's a silent stee[G]ple

[Verse 4]
[E]
But the sea [F]would not [E]so [F]much as reply
So the [E]boy yelled [F]to the ships
that were [E]fated to die
Red sky [F]at night, [E]sailors [F]take de[E]light
Red sky in [F]the morning, [E]sailors take [Am]warning[E]

It's a silent [G]steeple
That carries us [F]down
It's a silent [E]steeple
Sail on, take it back, sail on,
take it back, sail on, take it back,
Sail on, take it back, sail on,
take it back, sail on, take it back,
Sail on, take it [Am]back
We were [E]going with the

[Verse 6]
[F]
wind in [C]our hair
And we [Am]didn't want to look
back [E]'cause if we did
Well We [F]would not [C]care
And if we [Am]all were t[E]o die now
Well it [F]wouldn't be that [C]bad
Cause that [Am]boy in the waves said
He'd [E]give us [C]everything
[F]Everything he [C]had
To [Dm]go on, and trace that s[G]car
Like [F]we did ten years be[E]fore
