Capo on 1st fret!

D5            A5              B5              G5
Set off for America far across the ragin' sea
        D5                  A5
From the frozen coves of my island home
  B5                G5
To the land of liberty
D5                      A5
I have to leave my girl behind
B5             G5
Until I make my way
D5                     A5
Oh Molly dear please wait for me
           B5         G5
I'll come back for you some day

D5                  A5
We landed hard in Boston
         B5             G5
and I'd never seen the like
D5                     A5
A small boat boy from around the bay
        B5              G5
In this sea of shining lights
D5              A5
Two days in I got a job
          B5              G5
Building towers of high steel
   D5                A5
I had to learn, to not look down
       B5                  G5
And I quickly learned to kneel

       A5         B5            A5    B5
And I wonder if this will ever end
       A5             D5     B5           A5
And I wonder if I'll ever see your face again

CHORUS:

D5                  B5
All I need is one good nights sleep
        G5                 A5
In your loving arms, to mend
    D5
We sleep to dream
      B5
And we dream to live
      G5                A5
Will I live to love you again

D5              A5
I saved every cent I could
         B5                 G5
But the months turned into years
D5                        A5
Then a letter came from Molly
     B5                   G5
and confirmed my deepest fears
D5                    A5
She would no longer wait for me,
       B5             G5
she'd found a better man
   D5                   A5
I might have been in America,
        B5             G5
but my heart was broken
            D5
In Newfoundland

CHORUS:

D5                  B5
All I need is one good nights sleep
        G5                 A5
In your loving arms, to mend
    D5
We sleep to dream
      B5
And we dream to live
      G5                A5
Will I live to love you again

D5   A5  B5  G5  D5  A5  B5  G5
All I need,  all I need
D5   A5  B5  G5  D5  A5  B5  
G5  D5 A5
All I need,  all I need

D5                   A5
My working days are over now
         B5                G5
And my children have all grown
D5                     A5
I did the best with what I had
          B5           G5
But some days I feel alone
D5                A5
I often wonder where you are
    B5                G5
Do you still know my name
D5                     A5
Deep inside this old man's heart
           B5                G5
There's a love that still remains

CHORUS

D5                  B5
All I need is one good nights sleep
        G5                 A5
In your loving arms, to mend
    D5
We sleep to dream
      B5
And we dream to live
      G5                A5
Will I live to love you again
D5                  B5
All I need is one good nights sleep
        G5                 A5
In your loving arms, to mend
    D5
We sleep to dream
      B5
And we dream to live
      G5                A5
Will I live to love you again

D5   A5  B5  G5  D5  A5  B5  G5
All I need,  all I need
D5   A5  B5  G5  D5  A5  B5  
G5  D5
All I need,  all I need
