Verse 1
C                                    Cmaj7 
    The harbour lights were shining, 
     Dm              Dm7/A 
The moon was in it's high, 
     Gsus4                G 
The captain said, "Thank God we're home, 
        C                       G7 
We've drunk the barrels dry!" 
 
Verse 2
C                              Cmaj7 
   The mizzen-mast was shaken, 
           Dm              Dm7/A 
And the lanterns all burnt low, 
  Gsus4               G  
I never thought we'd make it, 
            C                    C/G 
But we've twenty leagues to go! 
 
Bridge 1
    Em                 Em7                  Am 
So blow, you southern trades, and guide me safely to the shore, 
Am7      D7          D7sus4  D7        G            G7 
    I'm never, ever, gonna  sail the seven seas no more! 
 
Chorus 1
   C                      Cmaj7 
I know I'm gonna miss the sand in my hair, 
    Em7                       Fmaj7 
The roll of the tide, and the salt in the air, 
     Dm7                G 
But, deep inside, it's true, 
      F/C               G7                C     G7 
I'm a home lovin' man, coming on home to you, 
   C                      Cmaj7 
I know I'm gonna miss the wind in my eyes, 
      Em7                     Fmaj7 
The shimmer of light when the seagull flies, 
      Dm7                   G         Dm7 
Al - though I've travelled far, I'm a home lovin' man, 
     G7                F       Dm7   C 
And home is where you are--------------!

Verse 3
      C                       Cmaj7 
The crowd upon the quayside, 
       Dm             Dm7/A 
Their faces long and drawn, 
     Gsus4         G             C                   G7 
Are suddenly a - wakened, as we sail in on the dawn! 
 
Verse 4
     C                           Cmaj7      Dm           Dm7/A 
The wives, the sons, the lovers,       who never gave up hope, 
    Gsus4                G               C 
All breathe a sigh to -gether, as they reach to catch the rope!
