I Wave Bye Bye - Jesse Winchester
Key of Bb (as recorded. Play as if in G with capo on the 3rd Fret.
Jesse plays the song in 'A' on his YouTube recordings, using no capo. But this way you can
more easily raise or lower the key to suit your own voice.
Intro: Am7 - Bm7 - C - D
Verse 1
G Em
Just out in the harbour, all the ships asleep
Am C D
Maybe one cold watchman, walks a lonely beat
G Em
And way out on the water, a ship is under sail
Am C D
Leaving wavy starlight, and a dreamer in her trail
Chorus
G Em Am D
I wave bye bye, I pray, God speed
G Em Am D
Oh I wish, lovely weather, more luck than you need
G Bm7 Am7 C Am7 D
You'll only sail in circles, so there's no need to cry
G Bm7 G Em7 Am7 D G
No, I'll see you, again one day, and then I wave bye bye
Verse 2
G Em
The sailing ship reminds me, of a certain girl
Am C D
Who left a certain dreamer, to sail into the world
G Em
I've very friendly post-cards, from very far away
Am C D
But they just remind me, of a certain day
Chorus
G Em Am D
I wave, bye bye, I pray, God speed
G Em Am D
I wish, lovely weather, with more luck, than you need
G Bm7 Am7 C Am7 D
You'll only sail in circles, so there's no need to cry
G Bm7 G Em7 Am7 D G
No I'll, see you, again one day, then I waved bye bye
G
Bye bye
