D5

September ninth

E5

It's a sunny day

B5                     A5

The smell of summer is still in the air

D5

Your pirate ship

E5

Has sailed away

B5

I'm not so sure

A5

What you've been up to

B5        A5         E5

I gave up trying to stop you

          B5        A5     E5

Instead I keep watching over your things

    B5     A5      E5

You always have a home here

               B5        A5        E5

You won't fail me though you come back
with empty hands

D5                  B5      (single hit D5 before chorus strumming)

 I'm waiting here you might not be back

A5             E5

I don't think I'm irrational

D5                 B5      (single hit D5 before chorus strumming)

 I'm waiting here you might not be back

A5            E5

I'm still at number 13

D5 (to transition to the next verse. alternate up and down strumming. 
listen to the song for timing.)

D5

Your sails are full

E5

The coast is clear

B5

You have no doubt

A5

Your ship won't strand

D5

The trouble with you is

E5                B5

You take too many chances but

        A5

that is also your strength

B5     A5    E5

I'm often anxious

           B5       A5       E5

But I know you will make it through
In the highwind

B5           A5      E5

  Though you face a dead end

D5                  B5      (single hit D5 before chorus strumming)

 I'm waiting here you might not be back

A5             E5

I don't think I'm irrational

D5                 B5     (single hit D5 before chorus strumming)

 I'm waiting here you might not be back

You're not gonna back

Oh, you said

You're not gonna back

B5        A5         E5

I gave up trying to stop you

          B5        A5     E5

Instead I keep watching over your things

    B5     A5      E5

You always have a home here
