Play with Capo on second fret. The chords listed hear are transposed one
tone backward (Am should actually be Bm when the Capo is applied)
All verses have the same sequence of chords. The two chorus have another
sequence. There is a piano intro and ending, ommitted here.
The verses are played in a fast arpeggio. Simply pluck the chords of the
chorus

LAm RE
Out at daybreak to the sun
DO RE
Seas are drifting glass
LAm RE
The tides were turning to the storm
DO RE
Winds were moving fast
FA SOL
Women waiting at the harbour
DO MI
Silent stand around
FA SOL
Weather storms another day
DO MI
For men the sea has found
Fisherman were laying nets
The barrels spread the bait
The seagulls warning echoed round
Winds that wouldn't wait
People gathered at the harbour
Waiting for the tide
Eyes half closed against the spray
And tears they cannot hide
Chorus
LAm REm
Shadows falling at the harbour
SOL DO
Women stant around
LAm REm
Weather storms another way
SOL MIm LAm RE DO RE
For man the sea had drowned
Hulls were creaking crashing sails
Rains were slanting down
The oilskins flapping, decks awash
Slanting turning round
Thunder roaring at the harbour
Women drawn in fear
Huddle up to wait the time
And pray the sky well clear
Howling winds and the raging waves
Cracked upon the boats
And torn from safety, torn from life
Men with little hope
Ghostly echoes at the harbour
Whispering of death
Women weeping holding hands
Of those they still have left
Chorus
Shadows falling at the harbour
Women stant around
Weather storms another way
For man the sea had drowned
