Sweet [A] Saranda
[E] on the [Bm] quayside, [E]
you [A] remember,
[E] used to run high.
You shot a cow [F#m] to take you on time, [A] for counting all the numbers [E]
down to the wall [Bm] to run.
But, [F#m] me and my sister [A] on the dog [E]-eat [Bm]-stairway, [E]
[Bm] strange kisses [A] in the dark of [E] the doorway.
[Bm]
Well, I'm [F#m] going out a while in cold, [A] holy, it's many signs [E] of life on my [Bm] shoulder.

[Bm]
Out [F#m] comes a coaster, [A]
fast and [Bm] silent, digging the [E] night.
[Bm] Over [F#m] my shoulder, [A]
oh, you [E] can see [Bm] her, high-fly.
No money in her jacket, [F#m] sandals, jeans, or top.
[A] Her hands [D] cold, but [E] she lets them on.

[Bm] She can see [F#m] him on the quay, that's where [E] you stand.
[Bm]
She can feel [F#m] him in the places where I'd [E] say that.
[Bm]
When she's walking by the [F#m] river on the railway line, [A] she can still hear him whisper,
[E]
Let's go down [Bm] to the waterline.
