Key of with Capo on the 3rd Fret. Jesse plays the song in on his YouTube recordings, using no capo. But this way you can more easily raise or lower the key to suit your own voice. Intro: verse 1 Just out in the harbour, all the ships asleep Maybe one cold watchman, walks a lonely beat And way out on the water, a ship is under sail Leaving wavy starlight, and a dreamer in her trail I wave bye bye, I pray, God speed Oh I wish, lovely weather, more luck than you need You'll only sail in circles, so there's no need to cry No, I'll see you, again one day, and then I wave bye bye verse 2 The sailing ship reminds me, of a certain girl Who left a certain dreamer, to sail into the world I've very friendly post-cards, from very far away But they just remind me, of a certain day I wave, bye bye, I pray, God speed I wish, lovely weather, with more luck, than you need You'll only sail in circles, so there's no need to cry No I'll, see you, again one day, then I waved bye bye Bye bye -------------------------------------------------------=== Chords by Con Maloney. I've recorded this version on YouTube if that helps.
