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


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


[Chorus]
                 G                   D
And I’ll hold on hope when I let you go
                    A               Bm
Though you loved me well, I set out 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


[Post-Chorus]
D A D


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


[Chorus]
                 G                   D
And I’ll hold on hope when I let you go
                    A               Bm
Though you loved me well, I set out 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


[Post-Chorus]

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


[Chorus]
                 G                   D
And I’ll hold on hope when I let you go
                    A               Bm
Though you loved me well, I set out 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
