Song Of The Sea

G#m E Eb E


[Verse 1]

  G#m                   E
Picture of me on your color TV
           B
Betty's holding the helm
           C#
Skin's a-salty with the
 G#m                          Emaj7
breeze-- Gotta look when you open those books
    B                    C#
I dream of the sea big ships is meant for


[Chorus]

 G#m   E                 Eb    E
Maybe I'm meant for the sea
  G#m         E               Eb         E
It's there swinging from my family tree


[Verse 2]

 G#m                      E
Startin' to breathe so heavily
             B                 C#m
Grandpa's telling me of his days in the
 G#m                       E
Navy-- I was alive for a moment you see
         B
It was there when I woke
         C#
It was there when I would


[Chorus]

 G#m   E                  Eb    E
Maybe I'm meant for the sea
 G#m          E               Eb           E
It's there swinging from my family tree
  Ebm  G#m              Eb    E
Maybe I'm meant for the sea
  G#m      E           Eb           E
Grandpa Albert had it made for me


[Bridge]

   G#m           E
Maybe I'm meant for the sea
    B                F#
We pass it by so passively
     G#m                 E
And all that's said is what we know
        B                    F#
We'll watch it come, we'll watch it go
      G#m              E
And underneath, it's plain to see
       B                   F#
That we're not meant for history


[Chorus]

  Ebm  G#m                Eb    E
Maybe I'm meant for the sea
   G#m          E             Eb          E
It's there swinging from my family tree
   G#m      E           Eb     E
Maybe I'm meant for the sea
    G#m    E          Eb              E
Grandpa Albert had it made for me
