Verse 1
(C major) It's been ten years
since I (F major) walked the streets
(C major) of my (G major) old ho (C minor) metown
(G major) (C minor) Everything's (C major) changed
but then (F major) things are the same
(C major) since I first (G major) took to run (C major) ning around
(G major) My (F major) footsteps quicken as I walk the street
of the place (C major) that (F major) I once called (C major) home
I'm (F major) here to see my father and mother
whose (C major) hearts I (F major) broke long (C major) ago
I waited so (G major) long, waited so (F major) long
to set things right (C major) (F major) (C major)
Drowned by the lights of a (F major) faraway city
(C major) My hopes (G major) and my (C major) spirits were (G major) high
(C major) Wasted my substance on (F major) riotous liv (C major) ing
And prayed (G major) every night (C major) I could (G major) die
Slut (F major) s in the gutter with bottle in hand
and I (C major) dream of my (F major) home far away (C major)
Girls (F major) of the night were
my only companions
My pride (C major) kept me (F major) running each (C major) day
I waited so (G major) long, waited so long
(F major) to set things (C major) right
Hey, (F major) son (C major) (F major) (C major) (G major) (C major) (G major)
(C major) (F major) (C major)
(G major) (C major) (G major) (F major) (C major) (F major)
(C major) (F major) (C major) (F major)
(C major) I waited so (G major) long,
waited so (F major) long to set things (C major) right (F major) (C major)
My searchin' leads to a
(F major) field by the (C major) river,
the sun (G major) it's so (C major) bright in my (G major) eyes.
To the (C major) two lonely graves
of my (F major) father and mother, (C major)
they're ly (G major) in' in death (C major) side by (G major) side.
I (F major) feel the tears wellin' up in my throat
as I (C major) flung myself (F major) to the (C major) ground
I'm (F major) sorry father, I'm sorry mother,
I know (C major) how I (F major) have let you (C major) down
I waited too (G major) long, waited too (F major) long
to set things (C major) right (F major)
(C major) I waited too (G major) long, waited too long (F major)
to set things (C major) right (F major)
(C major) I waited too (G major) long, waited (F major) too long
to set things (C major) right
(F major) Waited (C major) too long, (G major) waited too long (F major)
to set things (C major) right (F major)
(C major) Waited too (G major) long, waited too (F major) long
to set things (C major) right (F major) (C major)
Waited too (G major) long

Verse 2
The night (E flat major) was black, rain falling down
Look for my baby,
(B flat major) she's nowhere around
(E flat major) Traced her footsteps down to the shore
Afraid she's gone forever (B flat major) (E flat major) more
I looked at the sea and it seemed to say
I (E flat major) took your baby from (B flat major) you away
(E flat major) I heard a voice crying in deep
Come (E flat major) join me baby in my
(B flat major) endless sleep (E flat major)
Why did we quarrel, why didn't we fight
Why did I leave her alone (B flat major) tonight
(E flat major) That's why her footsteps
went down to the sea
That's why my baby is (B flat major) gone (E flat major) from me
I looked at the sea and it seemed to say
(E flat major) I took your baby from (B flat major) you (E flat major) away
I heard a voice crying in deep
Come (E flat major) join me baby in my (B flat major) endless sleep (E flat major)
I ran in the water, heart full of fear
There on the breakers, I (B flat major) saw her near
(E flat major) I reached for my darling, held her to me
I had to save her from (B flat major) an endless sea
(E flat major) I heard the voice of the ocean's roar
(E flat major) Be with you baby forever (B flat major) more
(E flat major) In each other's arms,
going down in the deep
(E flat major) I join my baby in (B flat major) an endless sleep (E flat major)
End (B flat major) less sleep (E flat major) , (B flat major) end less sleep (E flat major)
End (B flat major) less sleep (E flat major) , (B flat major) endless sleep (E flat major)
Endless... (B flat major)
