[Intro 1]
[C][Em][C][Dm][F][Dm][G][C]
[F]I c[C]over[F]

[Verse 1]
[G]the[C] waterfront[F]
[Dm]Watchin' [G]the ship
[C]go by[Em][C]
[F]I could see [Dm]ever[F]ybody's baby[G]
But I [C]couldn't see [F]mine[G][C]
[G]I could see[F] the ships
[G]pullin' in
To the harbor
[F]I c[C]oul[F]d see the peopl[G]e
Meeting [Em]their loved [C]one[F][Dm]
[G]Shakin' [C]hand[G][C]
I sat [F]there
So all alone
[G]Cov[F]erin' the[C] wa[F]terfront[C]
[F][Dm][F][Dm][G][C][F][Dm][F][C]

[Verse 2]
[G]And after a whi[C]le[F]
[G]All [F]the people[C]
Left the har[F]bor[Dm]
[F]And headed for their destin
[G]ation[C]
[F]All the ships
Left the harbor
[G]And[C] headed for[F] their next
[Dm]des [G]tination[Dm]
[F]I sat there
Coverin' [C]the waterfront
[F][Dm][C][F]

[Verse 3]
[F]And after a while
I looked down the ocean
[G]As [C]far[Dm] as I c[F]oul[Dm]d se[F]e - in the fog[G]
[F]I s[Dm]aw a ship[F]
[Dm]It headed [F]thi[G]s way
Comin' [Dm]out the foam[F][Dm][F]
[G]It must be my bab[Dm]y[F]
Comin' [Dm]down[F][C][Dm][C]
And after a [F]while
The ship pulled into the harbor
[Dm]Roll[F]in' slow
So [G]triple [C](?)
And [F]my baby
Stepped off board
I [C]was still[F]
[G]Coverin' the water[C]front

[Verse 4]
[F]Said "Johnny,[Dm]
[F]Our[Dm] ship had[F] trouble - w[Dm]ith the fog
[Gm]And that's why we're so late
So late
Comin' home
Comin' [C]down"
[F]
