Don't mind the rain or the rolling sea

The weary night never wor

ries me
Em 
Am 
But the hardest time in  a sailor's day
A 
B 
E 
A 
B 
Is to watch the sun as it dies away
Em 
B 
It's one more day on the grey
A 
B 
funnel line.
Em 
The finest ship that sailed the sea
F#m 
B 
Is still a prison for the likes of me.
Em 
A 
But give me wings like Noah's dove
B 
A 
I'd fly up harbor to the girl I love
B 
Em 
It's one more dive on the
B 
E 
A 
B 
grey funnel line.
Em 
There was a time my heart was free
F#m 
B 
Like a floating spar on the   open sea
Em 
Am 
But now the spar is  washed ashore,
A 
B 
A 
B 
It comes to rest at my real love's door.
Em 
B

Em 
Every time I gaze behind the screws
B 
E 
Em 
F#m 
B 
Makes me long for old Peter's shoes.
Em 
Am 
I'd walk right down that silver line
A 
B 
E 
Em 
A 
And take my love in my arms again
B 
Em

A 
B

the grey funnel line.
B 
Em 
O Lord, if dreams   were only real,
B 
Em 
I'd have my hands on that
B 
wooden wheel,
Em 
A 
And with all my heart I   turn her round
B 
Em 
And tell the boys that we're
A 
B 
homeward bound
E 
B 
Em 
It's one more day on
B 
the grey funnel line
A 
B 
Em 
I'll pass the time like some machine
B 
E 
F#m 
B 
Until the blue water turns to green
Em 
Am 
Then I'll dance on down that walk ashore
A 
B 
Am 
A 
B 
And sail the grey funnel line no more
A 
B 
And sail the grey funnel line no more
