Safe In The Harbour

INTRO:  G,  C,  G,  C,   F,  C,

  G,  C,   C


         C            Em          
Have you stood by the ocean, on a 
F            C
diamond-hard morning

    G            Dm        C     
And felt the hor-izon stir deep 
       G
in your soul

            C         Em          
Watched the wake of a steamer as 
  F                C
it cut through blue water

         Em           Dm        G
And been gripped by a fever you 
              C     (*)
just can't con-trol

      C             Em           
Oh to throw off the shackles and 
F            C
fly with the seagulls

   Em                Dm           
To where green waves tumble before
   C           G     (*)
 a driving sea wind

      C          Em           F  
Or to lie on the decking on a 
           C
warm summer's evening

          Em           Dm     
Watch the red sun fall burning, 
     C         G       C
be-neath the earth's rim


CHORUS:

    C        Em            F     
But to every sailor, comes time 
       G
to drop anchor

C           Em         F        
Haul in the sails, and make the 
      G
lines fast

    C          G             F   
You deep water dreamer, your 
       G
journey is over

SAFE IN THE HARBOUR (page 2)


C            Em           F     
Some men are sailors, but most 
        C
are just dreamers
     G           Dm           C  
Held fast by the anchors they 
            G
forge in their minds
            C                  
Who in ther hearts know they'll 
 Em         F         C
never sail over deep water
   Em           Dm             
To search for a treasure they're 
    G                C      (*)
a-fraid they won't find
   C            Em             F 
So in sheltered harbours, they 
             C
cling to their anchors
Em              Dm          C   
Bank down their boilers and shut
            G      (*)
 down their steam
    C            Em            F 
And wait for the sailors to 
               C
re-turn with bright treasures
          Em           Dm         
That will fan the dull embers and 
C       G     C
fire up their dreams

CHORUS:

    C        Em            F     
But to every sailor, comes time 
       G
to drop anchor
C           Em         F        
Haul in the sails, and make the 
      G
lines fast
    C          G             F   
You deep water dreamer, your 
       G
journey is over
       C           G          F  
You're safe in the harbour at 
   *
last
       C           G          F  
You're safe in the harbour at 
   *
last


    C            Em           F  
And some men are schemers who 
          C
laugh at the dreamers
         G             Dm          
Take the gold from the sailors and 
C          G
turn it to dross
        C        Em              
They're men in a prison, they're 
F           C
men without vision
      Em       Dm      G          
Whose only hor-izon is profit and 
C     (*)
loss
        C                 Em      
So when storm clouds come sailing 
  F               C
a-cross your blue ocean
     Em           Dm           C 
Hold fast to your dreaming for 
               G      (*)
all that your're worth
       C               Em      
For as long as there's dreamers, 
             F         C
there will always be sailors
         Em                Dm     
Bringing back their bright 
            C       G  C
treasures from the corners of earth
