The Moorings

D                            G
Oh my darling my dear I have reason 
to fear
         D                      
That you know not the man you’re 
 G     D
adoring
         G           D        
From the dark salty sea I found 
   A         Bm
refuge in thee
         D                     
But I’m soon to be loosening my 
 A     D
moorings


[Verse 2]
D                            G   
Oh my darling my dear I have 
      D
reason to fear
That you know not the man you’re 
G     D
adoring
         G           D        
From the dark salty sea I found 
   A
refuge in thee
         D                     
But I’m soon to be loosening my 
 A     D
moorings


[Chorus]
                 G                 
And I’ll hold on hope when I let 
  D
you go
                    A              
Though you loved me well, I set out
 Bm
 alone
                       G
And I will trust these winds
                   D
That they will not fail
            A
Open up my heart
              D
Let it be my sail

[Verse 3]
D                                 
And I pray when I’m gone you don’t
  G              D
 feel I done you wrong
                         G     D
But if so I will seek my repentance
         G         D              
A convicted fool I am chained to 
  A
the pen in my hand
         D                      
And my darling I must serve this 
 A    D
sentence


[Chorus]
                 G                 
And I’ll hold on hope when I let 
  D
you go
                    A              
Though you loved me well, I set out
 Bm
 alone
                       G
And I will trust these winds
                   D
That they will not fail
            A
Open up my heart
              D
Let it be my sail

[Verse 4]
D                              
For the day it will come when my 
     G         D
traveling is done
And I’ll search for a light on the 
G      D
shoreline
         G                D       
Though I know your harbor slips 
           A
hold vessels worthier than me
   D                               
If there’s room would you cast to 
  A    D
me your line


[Chorus]
                 G                 
And I’ll hold on hope when I let 
  D
you go
                    A              
Though you loved me well, I set out
 Bm
 alone
                       G
And I will trust these winds
                   D
That they will not fail
            A
Open up my heart
              Bm
Let it be my sail
        G    A
Open up my heart
               D
Let it be my sail
