(D)I park my cab on (Bm)Water Street.

(D)Watch the young girls in (Bm)their first heels 
Step like (D)colts across the (Bm)square.

(G)Fire on the ocean, 
Thunder on the (D)sea. (Bm) (D) (Bm)
I (A)think of Handsome Molly...(G)...
wherever she may (D)be. (Bm)

(D)Now, I'm either in this (Bm)cowboy bar, 
(D)never in the(Bm) choir,
(D)Sometimes howlin' and (Bm)amazed
 like the wind (D)  hung up on (Bm)barbed wire.

(G)Fire on the ocean, 
Thunder on the (D)sea. (Bm) 
I (A)think of Handsome Molly...(G)......
and what she promised (D)me. (Bm) 

(D)Well, it's pretty doe-eyed (Bm)Molly 
could (D) see so well (Bm)at night.
(D)It was a hard trade she (Bm)made
 just to see it (D)  black (Bm)and white.

(D)Now the word's gone down this(Bm) north coast
 and its(D)  "Boy you best (Bm)take care...
(D)Cut yourself with A (Bm)knife, 
find all the (D) salt that's in (Bm) the air."

(G)Fire on the ocean, 
Thunder on the (D)sea. (Bm) 
I (A)think of Handsome Molly...(G)......
who cried so (D)easily. (Bm) 

(D) Now the soldiers down on(Bm) Water Street,
they eye the (Bm)little girls.
(D) And the little girls of (Bm)Water Street 
will take (D) them 'round (Bm)the world.

Thunder on the (D)sea. (Bm) 
I (A)think of Handsome Molly...(G)......
