[C] With a dark and rolling [Am] sea,
Between [C] my love and [Am] me
I keep [C] walking through this [G] cold lonesome [C] town
While I wait for better [Am] days
I could [C] use a place to [Am] stay
if it's [C] just a floor to [G] lay my blanket [C] down


Rise at dawn and change my shirt, and wash away the dirt
then it's over to American Express.
NO letter did I find, no she didn't send one line
though I know she has my forwarding address.


Chorus:
[F] If I could beg, steal, or [C] borrow
A [F] ticket on some ol' ship or [C] pla-[G] ne [F]
I'd be leaving London [C] tomorrow
To [F] fly to my [G] own true love [C] again


Last night the Troubador was so full they barred the door
and I sang a song she knows very well.
But it wouldn't take too long to make up another song,
from a lonely boy a last farewell.


At the inn I closed the door, spread my blanket on the floor
Feeling like a man trapped in a cell
Sleep finally comes for me, and I drift across the sea
To the waiting arms of a girl I love so well


Chorus
