Verse 1:
G (320003@1)  D (xx0232@1)          C (x32010@1)           DIn (xx0232@1)a dream that I can't seem to shake she is,

she is standing alone. 
G (320003@1)    D (xx0232@1)         C (x32010@1)          D (xx0232@1) 
By the fence I see tears in her eyes 
G (320003@1)           D (xx0232@1)          Cadd       Fill 2
why she cries I just don't know.

Verse 2:
So you're leaving for months at a time,
I help you out the door. 
But once youre gone i just stare out the window. 
Please, could you please come back home.

I was raised on something that you'll never know 
D5 (xx023x@1)                                
I'd hate this place if it werent for the waves if it
