Awaiting my treasure drifting ashore

When from the galleys we're set free

G                        D/ E7-4th fret \ D D  Dsus4  D
And I'll never give you more

C                       G 
Than the time that we save

G                D / E7  Am
Magdelina I forgave

Lest the guns should overtake us and let out the final blow

C                  G                          D/ E7  Am

And I won't feel anything , oh love

And all the while touch a long time indeed
