1) ˙ ˙ I remember ˙that ˙Steamer, ˙ ˙ the time you ˙set sail
2) ˙ ˙ I can see myself ˙dreaming, ˙ ˙the time you came home
3) ˙ ˙ I remember that ˙ winter, ˙ ˙first time we ˙made love ˙ ˙ ˙ ˙
5) Most of all it's that steamer, ˙ ˙ the time you ˙set sail

˙˙ ˙ ˙ ˙The crowd was steaming, streaming, and leaning on the rail
˙˙ ˙ ˙ ˙Your face was gleaming, seeming ˙ ˙to ˙stand ˙ ˙ out alone
Oh, ˙I still kind ˙of shiver, a little at what I'm ˙thinking of ˙ ˙ ˙ ˙ How
Ah, the crowds always steaming, streaming, and leaning on the rail

Then the big whistle blew, ˙ ˙ ˙ and I lost ˙my ˙ ˙place
˙˙ ˙The dinner bell chimed ˙ ˙ ˙ and I found my ˙ ˙seat
your dress it just folded, ˙ ˙all down around your knees
Then the big whistle blows ˙ ˙and I always lose my place

˙Next ˙thing I knew ˙ ˙ ˙ ˙ ˙ ˙ ˙ ˙ ˙I could not find your face.
˙Your eyes met mine ˙ ˙ ˙ ˙ ˙ ˙ ˙ ˙ ˙ ˙your smile ˙ was so sweet.
And I held my breath, my god, my girl, 'cause I could not believe. (Instr)
˙Next ˙thing I know, ˙ ˙ ˙ ˙ ˙ ˙ ˙ ˙ I ˙cannot ˙find ˙your face

Instrumental note:˙
The 10-10-10-9 is actually a 9 bent to 10, then return to 9.
The 7th note on the lead is actually a 10 quickly bent to 11.
Not sure how to write that out without making it too complicated so I just
wrote the generic notes.
