Intro: E5  D5  C5  E5  D5  E5

                      D5           B5
He was named nineteenhundred 'td'
                     E5        C5  D5  E5
In the ship`s belly lies his cradle
                D5       C5        G5
Had no birthday and no land of home
    D5              E5
The ocean has no bounds
            B5   D5  G5
Virginian sounds

                   D5               G5
And he faced the world from inside
                    D5           C5
The ball-room of splendid skies
             D5         C5
And on the grand piano
                    D5          G5
His hands light as butterflies
                   D5                    G5
He played for the rich and for the poor
               D5            C5
Thrilling the hearts of all
                      D5                  C5
The world could have been beneath his feet
                B5
Searching the call
                   E5
The voice of the sea

                D5           B5
Old chandelier tells a story
                E5     C5   D5   E5
Old piano still echoes in here
               D5     C5        G5
Old ship lies rusted in the port
         D5                E5
And the best years fade away
                    B5  D5  G5
The splendour has gone

              D5                  G5
Not what he saw could hold him back
                D5         C5
It was what he didn`t see
             D5                C5
There was no end in this town
          D5       G5
Keys so eternally
              D5          G5
But this was god`s piano
                 D5            C5
He heard on the gangway there
              D5           C5
He couldn`t leave forever
                  B5
The sea to somewhere

G5
Bow and stern
E5                  C5
All the wishes between
  D5         G5
(wishes to yearn)
     E5                   B5
The world outside is a dream
    D5           B5         E5
(a lone dream , lone dream )
               C5                   G5
And when the whole world`s leaving
               D5           E5
The music will always stay
           C5               G5
And if a story`s worth to tell
                 B5
The end will be far away
     E5    D5         C5      D5       E5    C5
The final notes lie mute upon the sand

                 B5
When land is a ship too big
   E5   D5        C5    B5
A woman out of reach
               E5
A journey too far
    D5          G5
A whiff too strong
            F#5         B5
He didn`t exist for anyone

( B5  Ab5  E5  F#5  B5  Ab5  Eb5  F#5  B5

Final notes lie mute upon sand..
