Humm - mmm, mm - mm! Humm - mmm! Humm - mmm - mm! Humm - mmm, mm, mm - mmm!
C (Cmaj7) Dm [ch]Dm7/A[/ch]
The harbour lights were shining, the moon was in it's high,
Gsus4 G C (G7)
The captain said, "Thank God we're home, we've drunk the barrels dry!"
C (Cmaj7) Dm [ch]Dm7/A[/ch]
The mizzen-mast was shaken, and the lanterns all burnt low,
Gsus4 G C (C/G)
I never thought we'd make it, but we've twenty leagues to go,
Em (Em7) Am
So blow, you southern trades, and guide me safely to the shore,
(Am7) D7 (D7sus4) (D7) G G7
I'm never, ever, gonna sail the seven seas no more-----!
C Cmaj7
I know I'm gonna miss the sand in my hair,
Em7 Fmaj7
The roll of the tide, and the salt in the air,
Dm7 G
But, deep inside, it's true,
F/C G7 C G7
I'm a home lovin' man, coming on home to you,
C Cmaj7
I know I'm gonna miss the wind in my eyes,
Em7 Fmaj7
The shimmer of light when the seagull flies,
Dm7 G
Al - though I've travelled far,
Dm7 G7 F Dm7 C
I'm a home lovin' man, and home is where you are--------------!

The crowd upon the quayside, their faces long and drawn,
Gsus4 G C (G7)
Are suddenly a - wakened, as we sail in on the dawn,
C (Cmaj7) Dm [ch]Dm7/A[/ch]
The wives, the sons, the lovers, who never gave up hope,
Gsus4 G C (C/G)
All breathe a sigh to - gether as they reach to catch the rope,
Em (Em7) Am
God bless you, southern trades, you've got me safely back this time,
(Am7) D7 (D7sus4) (D7) G G7
Oh, you'll never have the need a - gain to save this soul of mine----!
C Cmaj7
I know I'm gonna miss the sand in my hair,
