wayward child chords by Bert Jansch
Verse 1
G
There lay a dying sailor weeping
So far he'd wandered
from the south,
C
As he lay upon the burning
G
sand
The children gather to watch
Verse 2
his passing.
G
He'd swum the seven seas before him
And danced upon the stormy
breakers.
C
But now dying alone is all that's
G
left for him
And death a shining slowly beckons.
C

Verse 3
And rolling in last veil of sunshine
Sheds light upon his dying
hours.
C
But still strong in his urgent
G
will to live
For he tries again to reach
Verse 4
the water.
G
And turning away still ring
the voices
Of children laughing o'er the murky waters,
C
And somewhere I hear
G
the silent singing
Outro 1
Calling on the wayward child.
