INTRO: F

#1.
F
The night was black, rain fallin' down..looked for 
               C        F
my baby, she's nowhere around.
F
Traced her footsteps down to the shore, 'fraid she's 
        C    F
gone forever more.

CHORUS:
Bb       F      Bb                        F
I looked at the sea and it seemed to say, I took your 
           C     F
baby, from you, away.
Bb        F     Bb                  F
      C       F     
in my endless sleep.

#2.
F
Why did we quarrel, why did we fight..why did I leave 
     C      F
her alone tonight?
F
That's why her footsteps ran into the sea, that's why 
            C         F
my baby has gone from me.

CHORUS:
Bb       F      Bb                        F
I looked at the sea and it seemed to say, I took your 
           C     F
baby, from you, away.
Bb        F     Bb                  F
      C       F     
in my endless sleep.

#3.
F
Ran in the water, heart full of fear, there in the 
           C       F
breakers I saw her near.
F
Reached for my darlin', held her to me, stole her 
         C     F
from the angry sea.

CHORUS:
  Bb            F          Bb             F
I looked at the sea and it seemed to say, you took your 
           C    F
baby, from me, away.
Bb
My heart cried out, she's mine to keep!!
F                       C       F
I saved my baby from an endless sleep.

OUTRO:
C       F      C       F
Endless sleep..endless sleep..(Fade.)
