written by Jim Payne. I've seen several different chord progressions on the 'net; this one is the version the guys I play with (Dave Jensen & Friends) use. |
Wave over Wave
Jim Payne
D A7sus4 Bm D
Oh, me name's Abel Rogers, a share-man am I,
G D Em A
On a three-masted schooner from Twillingate Isle
G A7sus4 D F#m
I've been the world over: north, south, east and west,
G D Em A
But the middle of nowhere's where I likes it best
chorus: G D Bm D G D Em A
Where it's wave over wave, sea over bow; I'm as happy a man as the sea will al-low
G A7sus4 D F#m G D Em A
There's no other life for a sailor like me, but to sail the salt sea, boys, to sail the sea
D Bm Em A
There's no other life but to sail the salt sea
D A7sus4 Bm D
Ah, the work it is hard and the hours are long,
G D Em A
but my spirit is willing, my back it is strong,
G A7sus4 D F#m
and when the work's over the whiskey will pour
G D Em A
We'll dance with the girls upon some foreign shore
D A7sus4 Bm D
Well, I leave my wife lonely ten months of the year
G D Em A
for she built me a home and raised my children dear
G A7sus4 D F#m
She’d never come out to bid farewell to me
G D Em A
or ken why a sailor must sail the salt sea
D A7sus4 Bm D
I've sailed the world over, four decades or more
G D Em A
and oft times I wonder what I do it for
G A7sus4 D F#m
I don't know the answer it's pleasure and pain
G D Em A
but with life to live over I'd do it a-gain
chorus X2
