G6 Bb9 G6 Bb9
Away from the city the hurts and knocks,
G6 Bb9 G6 Bb9
I'm standing alone by the desolate docks
G6 Bb9 G Bb9
In the still and the chill of the night;
G6 Bb9 G6 Bb9
I see the horizon, the great unknown
G6 Bb9 G6 Bb9
My heart has an ache, it's as heavy as stone
G6 Bb9 G6
Will the dawn coming on make it last?
Melody:
Em7/9 Em7 A7/6 A7 D7M G6 F#m7 Fdim
I cover the waterfront, I'm watching the sea;
Em7 G/B A7 D6 Cdim D D6
Will the one that I love be coming back to me?
Em7/9 Em7 A7/6 A7 Dalt G F#m7 Fdim
I cover the waterfront, in search of my love,
Em7 G/B A7 D Gm D
And I'm covered by a deep blue sky above.
Bridge:
Em7 A7 D7M B7
Here am I, patiently waiting,
Em7 A7 D7M Bm7
Hoping and longing oh, how I yearn!
B7 E7M C#m
Where are you? Are you forgetting?
A B7 A7/13 A7
Do you remember? Will you return?
Em7/9 Em7 A7/6 A7 D F#m7
I cover the waterfront, I'm watching the sea,
Fdim Em Em7 G A7sus4 A7 D
'Cause the one that I love will soon come back to me.
