G6                   A#9       G6               A#9 
Away from the city    the hurts and knocks, 
     G6            A#9          G6            A#9 
I'm standing alone by the desolate docks 
        G6            A#9          G      A#9 
In the still and the chill of the night; 
G6                A#9        G6             A#9 
I see the horizon,   the great unknown 
    G6                  A#9                G6       A#9 
My heart has an ache, it's as heavy as stone  
              G6             A#9               G6 
Will the dawn coming on make it last? 
Melody:

I cover the waterfront,        I'm watching the sea; 
Em7      G/B         A7     D6     Cdim    D   D6 
Will the one that I love be coming back to me? 
Em7/9 Em7       A7/6       A7  Dalt      G           F#m7   Fdim 
I   cover the waterfront,          in search of my love, 
        Em7          G/B       A7   D     Gm  D 
And I'm covered by a deep blue sky above. 
Bridge: 
Em7    A7  D7M        B7 
Here am I, patiently waiting, 
Em7         A7              D7M        Bm7 
Hoping and longing  oh, how I yearn! 
B7                        E7M          C#m 
Where are you?  Are you forgetting? 
A           B7              A7/13        A7 
Do you remember?  Will you return? 
Em7/9 Em7      A7/6       A7      D          F#m7      
I  cover the waterfront,    I'm watching the sea, 
 Fdim       Em          Em7         G        A7sus4 A7  D 
'Cause the one that I love will soon come back  to me.
