Verse 1
(F major) Emily lay fast (E minor) asleep,
her mother (A minor) kissed (F sharp minor) her (E minor) head
Then (B minor) she began to (C major) weep
an (A minor) d lay alone in (D major) bed
Father (B minor) 's ship had (G major) left the (A minor) quay,
taking him to (E minor) fight.
His (B minor) heart, heavy as the sea, (C major)
(A minor) he began to (D major) write.
I'll drop (G major) my sweet, a (C major) tiny (D major) knot (G major)
In (C major) a (G major) bottle on (E minor) the (D major) sea
Just (G major) to see if (C major) it (D major) will (G major) float
And (C major) carry my (G major) love all (F major) to (G major) Thee (E minor)
(F major) Emily is (E minor) sleeping fast,
nor love (A minor) to kiss (D major) her (F sharp minor) brow (E minor)
Eighty (B minor) -five years have (C major) passed
The (A minor) calls are darken (D major) ing now
But (B minor) there are footprints in
(Asus4) the (D major) sand
There's (A minor) a knock upon the (E minor) door
There's (B minor) a letter in a fading hand, (C major)
washed (A minor) on a distant (D major) shore.
I'll (G major) drop my sweet, a (C major) tiny (D major) knot (G major)
In (C major) a (G major) bottle on (E minor) the (D major) sea
Just (G major) to see if (C major) it (D major) will (G major) float
and (C major) carry my (G major) love home (F major) to (Bdim) thee (E minor)
Ta (F major) -ta, my sweet (G major) (E minor)
