    Great Big Sea

Capo on 1st fret!

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

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

       A         Bm            A    Bm
And I wonder if this will ever end
       A             D     Bm           A
And I wonder if I'll ever see your face again

CHORUS:

D                  Bm
All I need is one good nights sleep
        G                 A
In your loving arms, to mend
    D
We sleep to dream
      Bm
And we dream to live
      G                A
Will I live to love you again

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

CHORUS:

D                  Bm
All I need is one good nights sleep
        G                 A
In your loving arms, to mend
    D
We sleep to dream
      Bm
And we dream to live
      G                A
Will I live to love you again

D   A  Bm  G  D  A  Bm  G
All I need,  all I need
D   A  Bm  G  D  A  Bm  
G  D A
All I need,  all I need

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

CHORUS

D                  Bm
All I need is one good nights sleep
        G                 A
In your loving arms, to mend
    D
We sleep to dream
      Bm
And we dream to live
      G                A
Will I live to love you again
D                  Bm
All I need is one good nights sleep
        G                 A
In your loving arms, to mend
    D
We sleep to dream
      Bm
And we dream to live
      G                A
Will I live to love you again

D   A  Bm  G  D  A  Bm  G
All I need,  all I need
D   A  Bm  G  D  A  Bm  
G  D
All I need,  all I need
