Clear Water

       F     C           G       
I want clear water as we sail out
        Am
 to the head
F             Em          Dm    
All I want to hear is the ripple
          G
 from the bow
F            C            G     
Let us be at ease now and know 
          Am
our true position
       F              C            
Like a compass to the star, like a 
G                  C
team hooked to the plough

[Verse]
    F                            
And as for all the history, it's 
Em
best it's left unwritten
Dm          C           Dm      
Few would believe if we told all
         G
 we have seen
F          C            G       
Comedy and tragedy have come 
     Am
along unbidden
     F                C           
They are the port and starboard 
      G         C
that we sail in between

[Verse]
       F     C         G     
I want clear water for each new 
        Am
destination
    F                   Em     
And if the storm should break we 
       Dm             G
will take it in our stride
   F            C                
We rode out the tempest when the 
G                  Am
clouded stars were hidden

        F             C           
And the rising of the moon proved 
   G           C
to be a fickle guide

[Verse]
    F                             
And if we hear the timbers creak, 
Em
we'll be give and take
Dm             C        Dm      
Voices from outside, we know our
          G
 craft is strong
   F              C           
As long as we can speak without 
  G           Am
raising our voices
    F            C               
The music of the storm is in the 
G               C
guarding of the song

[Bridge]
At night upon the deck I want to 
G
feel the salty spray
     F                             
Like warm tears on my face for the 
G
passing of the day
  F                                
I watch the wheeling star 'til the 
Em
light breaks in the east
Dm                         G
May the journey never end, let us be
 at peace

[Instrumental]
F  C  G  Am  F  Em  Dm  G
F  C  G  Am    F  C  G  C

[Verse]
       F     C          G        
I want clear water from here to 
     Am
the horizon
F                 Em             
Maybe scarred and feathered, but 
Dm                G
who'd say we were wrong
    F               C            
The journey not the goal was the 
G               Am
only thing that mattered
          F                     
While the wounds you thought had 
 C                   G           C
healed can still be opened by a song

[Verse]
       F     C          G        
I want clear water from here to 
     Am
the horizon
            F    Em         
I want some calm seas for the 
  Dm             G
journey still ahead
F    C             G            
Fair weather as we head for the 
Am
skyline
F                C           G  
Clear sky in the morning and 
          C
every sunset red
  F                C           G 
A clear sky in the morning and 
           C
every sunset red
