E5
   Home by the sea, home by the sea, 

   home by the sea, home by the sea
 

                            D5
Creeping up the blind side, shinning up the wall
                             E5
Stealing through the dark of night
                           D5
Climbing through a window, stepping to the floor
                             E5
Checking to the left and the right
                       D5
Picking up the pieces, putting them away
                             C5     A5
Something doesn't feel quite right
 

E5                  C5        A5     E5
   Help me, someone,  let me out of here
     C5          A5       D5        B5
Then out of the dark was suddenly heard
C5               A5          E5
"Welcome to the home by the sea"
 

                         D5
Coming out the woodwork, through the open door
                         E5
Pushing from above and below
                           D5
Shadows with no substance, in the shape of men
                                 E5
Round and down and sideways they go
                          D5
Adrift without direction, eyes that hold despair
                               C5    A5
Then as one they sigh and they moan
 

E5                   C5        A5     E5
   "Help us, someone,  let us out of here
C5      A5      D5            B5
Living here so long undisturbed
C5               A5           E5
Dreaming of the time we were free
   C5    A5     E5
So many years ago
  C5        A5        D5        B5
Before the time when we first heard
 C5              A5          E5
'Welcome to the home by the sea'"
 

G5          B5       D5  E5          G5          B5       D5
  Sit down,   sit down,   sit down,  sit down,   sit down
   C5             G5                B5    D5
As we relive our lives in what we tell you

                  D5
Images of sorrow, pictures of delight
                            E5
Things that go to make up a life
                        D5
Endless days of summer, longer nights of gloom
                        E5
Waiting for the morning light
                        D5
Scenes of unimportance, photos in a frame
                            C5    A5
Things that go to make up a life
 

E5                    C5        A5     E5
   "Help us, someone,   let us out of here
C5      A5      D5            B5
Living here so long undisturbed
C5               A5           E5
Dreaming of the time we were free
   C5    A5     E5
So many years ago
  C5        A5        D5        B5
Before the time when we first heard
 C5              A5          E5
'Welcome to the home by the sea'"
 

G5          B5       D5       E5             G5          B5       D5
  Sit down,   sit down, sit down, sit down,  sit down,   sit down
   C5             G5                B5       D5
As we relive our lives in what we tell you
    C5             G5                B5   D5
Let us relive our lives in what we tell you
E5     G5              B5       D5
   Sit down, sit down,   sit down
           E5
'Cause you won't get away
         G5
No, with us you will stay
        B5
For the rest of your days
      D5
Sit down
   C5             G5                B5       D5
As we relive our lives in what we tell you
    C5             G5                B5   D5
Let us relive our lives in what we tell you
