[F] [F]
[Gm] Dear wind that shakes the barley [F] free,
[Gm] Blow home my true love's ship to [F] me, fill her [Dm] sails.
[Gm] I a-weary wait upon the [F] shore.
[Gm] Forsake her not in times of [F] storm,
[Gm] protect her oaken beams from [F] harm, fill her [Dm] sails.
[Gm] I a-weary wait upon the [F] shore.
[Gm] Whether he be in Afri-[F]ca
[Gm] Or deep asleep in Indi-[F]a, fill his [Dm] dreams,
[Gm] I a-weary wait upon the [F] shore.
[Gm] Dear snow white gulls upon the [F] wing,
[Gm] I, like you, are lamen-[F]ting, for my [Dm] love.
[Gm] I a-weary wait upon the [F] shore.
[Gm] And in my chariot of [F] sleep,
[Gm] I ride the vast and dreamy [F] deep, deep [Dm] sea.
[Gm] I awake a-weary on the [F] shore.
[Gm] For seven years and seven [F] days,
[Gm] no man has seen my woman's [F] ways, dear [Dm] God.
[Gm] I a-weary cry upon the [F] shore.
[Gm] Along the shingle beach I [F] go,
[Gm] the wind about me as I [F] make my [Dm] way,
[Gm] to my weary dream upon my [F] bed.
[Gm] Dear wind that shakes the barley [F] free,
[Gm] Blow home my true love's ship to [F] me, fill her[Dm] sails.
[Gm] I a-weary wait upon the [F] shore.
