INTRO
G5  C5  E5  C5  G5

VERSE I
        G5                         C5         G5
Oh, the longer the waiting, the sweeter the kiss
                E5          C5         D5
It's better my darling, I promise you this
     B5          C5                        A5
The next time I hold you, I'm not letting go
         G5                    C5         E5      D5
Will you wait for me darling, I need to know

VERSE II
           G5                   C5         G5
Well, you know I'm a sailor, tomorrow we sail
                   E5           C5        D5
It's a hard way of living, but I know it well
    B5        C5                    A5
And if I surrender my life to the sea
        G5                   C5            E5
You can marry another, it's alright with me

PRE-CHORUS
          C5                    D5            E5
Though we won't be together again 'til the spring
       C5                        D5
Just imagine the treasures I'll bring

CHORUS
      G5                           C5          G5
Come lay with me, stay with me, soon I'll be gone
              E5         C5          D5
But I will remember you all winter long
    B5        C5                     A5
And when I return to the one that I miss
        G5                       C5           E5
Oh, the longer the waiting, the sweeter the kiss
    C5           G...
The sweeter the kiss

INTERLUDE
...C5  G5  E5  C5  D5  B5  C5  A5  G5  C5  E5

PRE-CHORUS
           C5                         D5          E5
When the mornings are warm and the valleys are green
          C5                       D5
I'll come back from wherever I've been

VERSE III
          G5                      C5          G5
Oh, the longer the waiting, the sweeter the kiss
                E5         C5          D5
It's better my darling, I promise you this
    B5            C5                        A5
But next time I hold you, I'm not letting go
         G5                   C5       E5
We will give up the ocean forever, I know
   C5      G5
Forever I know.
