Stjohns Waltz

Capo 4th A B C#m7 E A C#m7 F# B G# C#7 F# B E E E6 E Oh, the harbour lights are gleamin', A E And the evening's still and dark; G#m C#m7 And the seagulls are all dreaming, F# B Seagull dreams on Amherst Rock. E B7 E And the mist is slowly drifting, A C#m As the shorefront lights go dim; E G#m C#m7 And the moon is gently liftin', F# B As the last ship's - the last ship's - comin' in. A B All the sailors got a story, C#m7 E A C#m7 Some are true, some are false; F# B G# C#7 But they're always wrecked and they're up on the deck, F# B E dancin' the St John's Waltz. E E6 E And we've had our share of history, A E We've seen nations come and go; G#m C#m7 We've seen battles rage over land and stage, F# B Two hundred years and more. E B7 E For glory or for freedom, A C#m Or for country or for King; E G#m C#m7 Or for money or fame, but there are no names, F# B On the graves where men lie sleeping. A B All the nine-to-fives survive the day, C#m7 E A C#m7 With a sigh and a dose of salts; F# B G# C#7 They're parkin' their cars and packin' the bars, F# B E Dancin' the St John's Waltz. A B C#m7 E A C#m7 F# B G# C#7 F# B E E E6 E Oh, my heart is on the highway, A E And I'm sold on goin' to sea; G#m C#m7 All the planes fill the skyway, F# B All the trains run swift and free. E B7 E So leave the wayward free to wander, A C#m Leave the restless free to roam; E G#m C#m7 If there's rocks in the bay, if it's old cliché, F# B You'll find your way back home. A B But don't question or inquire, C#m7 E A C#m7 What's been gained, what's been lost; F# B G# C#7 In a world of romance don't miss out on the chance, F# B E To be dancin' the St John's Waltz.
