Chords for Great Big Sea - Safe Upon The Shore (Bing Lounge)

[Gbm] _ _ _ _ _ A girl [N] upon the shore did ask a favor of the sea
Please bring my blue-eyed sailor boy _ safely back to me
Forgive me if I ask too much I will not ask for more
But I shall weep until he sleeps safe _ upon the _ shore
_ _ As if the sea did hear a plea, a vision did appear
The drifting tip of some wrecked ship came floating _ ever near
A figure there did cling to it approaching more and more
As if to ride on some strange tide _ safe [Am] upon _ the _ shore
_ _ So give a sail and not your heart, lest sorrow you [E] do _ seek
Let [A] true love not be torn [E]
apart by favors from [D]
the [A] sea
_ [N] My _ love, she cried as she _ espied the figure on the spar
_ His clean white shirt was drenched and torn He must have floated _ far
She thought with bliss how she might kiss those lips she did adore
And oh how sweet to see his feet _ safe upon the _ shore
_ _ So give a sail and not your heart, [B] lest sorrow you [F] do _ seek
Let [A] true love not be torn apart _ by [E] favors from [F] the [Bb] sea
_ _ As he drew near she felt a fear that something _ was astray _ _
His mouth was slack and his blue eyes stared blindly at the day
_ _ And in a day she turned her gaze from the corpse the driftwood bore
_ And the cold cruel sea pushed her _ ruthlessly _ _ safe upon _ the shore
_ So _ _ give a sail and not your heart, lest sorrow you [Dm] do _ seek
Let true love not be torn apart _ by [E] favors [Eb] from the [F] sea
_ [N] _ _
_ Now _ fishermen _ they cast their nets like miners pan for _ gold
And sailors push off from the docks and pray the gales will _ hold
_ The sea just sits _ silently _ _ _ but sometimes she does _ more
_ And someone _ weeps while her _ love sleeps _ _ _ _ safe _ upon _ the _ shore _ _ _ _ _ _
