The harbour lights were shining,

The moon was in it's high,

The captain said, "Thank God we're home,

I never thought we'd make it,
C C/G
But we've twenty leagues to go!

I'm never, ever, gonna sail the seven seas no more!
[Chorus 1]
C Cmaj7
I know I'm gonna miss the sand in my hair,
Em7 Fmaj7
The roll of the tide, and the salt in the air,
Dm7 G
But, deep inside, it's true,
F/C G7 C G7
I'm a home lovin' man, coming on home to you,
C Cmaj7
I know I'm gonna miss the wind in my eyes,
Em7 Fmaj7
The shimmer of light when the seagull flies,
Dm7 G Dm7
Al - though I've travelled far, I'm a home lovin' man,
G7 F Dm7 C
And home is where you are--------------!

The crowd upon the quayside,
Dm Dm7/A
Their faces long and drawn,
Gsus4 G C G7
Are suddenly a - wakened, as we sail in on the dawn!
[Verse 4]
C Cmaj7 Dm Dm7/A
The wives, the sons, the lovers, who never gave up hope,
Gsus4 G C
All breathe a sigh to -gether, as they reach to catch the rope!
[Bridge 2]
