  C (x32010@1)                    D (xx0232@1)         GOn (320003@1)a crowded beach in a distant time
            C (x32010@1)              D (xx0232@1)        GAt (320003@1)the height of summer see a boy of five
             C (x32010@1)       D (xx0232@1)            GAt (320003@1)the water's edge so nimble and free
        C (x32010@1)                      D (xx0232@1)            GJumping (320003@1)over the ripples looking way out to sea



Now a man comes up from amoungst the throng
Takes the young boy's hand and his hand is strong
And the child feels safe, yeah the child feels brave
As he's carried in those arems up and over the waves

C (x32010@1)         D (xx0232@1)   G (320003@1)
Deeper water,  
C (x32010@1)         D (xx0232@1)   Gdeeper (320003@1)water,
C (x32010@1)         D (xx0232@1)   Gdeeper (320003@1)water, 
C (x32010@1)         D (xx0232@1)   Gcalling (320003@1)him on
