          G5           D5            A5         E5
Oh, the longer the waiting, the sweeter the kiss

      G5          A5         C5           D5
It's better my darling, I promise you this

     G5            A5           E5           D5             
The next time I hold you, I'm not letting go

           G5           D5         A5       E5    
Will you wait for me darling, I need to know



            G5          D5            A5        C5
Well, you know I'm a sailor and tomorrow we sail

         G5           A5       C5          D5
It's a hard way of living but I know it well

     G5        A5        E5          D5
And if I surrender my life to the sea

         G5       D5          A5           E5
You can marry another it's alright with me



            G5         A5       C5             E5
Though we won't be together again 'til the spring

       G5            A5             D5
Just imagine the treasures I'll bring


      G5            D5              A5          C5
Come lay with me, stay with me, soon I'll be gone

    G5         A5        C5           D5
But I will remember you all winter long

   G5      A5          C5           D5
When I return to the one that I miss

          G5          D5            A5         E5
Oh, the longer the waiting, the sweeter the kiss

      C5          G5
The sweeter the kiss


          G5            D5             A5          E5
When the mornings are warm and the valleys are green

           G5            A5          D5
I'll come back from wherever I've been


         G5           D5             A5        E5
Oh, the longer the waiting, the sweeter the kiss

      G5         A5          C5           D5
It's better my darling, I promise you this

     G5           A5           C5            D5
the next time I hold you, I'm not letting go

         G5            D5      A5        E5
We will give up the ocean forever, I know

   C5       G5
Forever I know
