          G           D            Am         Em
Oh, the longer the waiting, the sweeter the kiss

      G          Am         C           D
It's better my darling, I promise you this

     G            Am           Em           D             
The next time I hold you, I'm not letting go

           G           D         Am       Em    
Will you wait for me darling, I need to know



            G          D            Am        C
Well, you know I'm a sailor and tomorrow we sail

         G           Am       C          D
It's a hard way of living but I know it well

     G        Am        Em          D
And if I surrender my life to the sea

         G       D          Am           Em
You can marry another it's alright with me



            G         Am       C             Em
Though we won't be together again 'til the spring

       G            Am             D
Just imagine the treasures I'll bring


      G            D              Am          C
Come lay with me, stay with me, soon I'll be gone

    G         Am        C           D
But I will remember you all winter long

   G      Am          C           D
When I return to the one that I miss

          G          D            Am         Em
Oh, the longer the waiting, the sweeter the kiss

      C          G
The sweeter the kiss


          G            D             Am          Em
When the mornings are warm and the valleys are green

           G            Am          D
I'll come back from wherever I've been


         G           D             Am        Em
Oh, the longer the waiting, the sweeter the kiss

      G         Am          C           D
It's better my darling, I promise you this

     G           Am           C            D
the next time I hold you, I'm not letting go

         G            D      Am        Em
We will give up the ocean forever, I know

   C       G
Forever I know
