[Eb] [Ab]
[Bb] [Eb]
[Ab]
[Gm] [Eb]
When tides at [Bb] ease on the evening breeze, and the scarlet [Eb] moon starts its gentle rise,
the drowsy [Ab] whale spouts a misty trail, [Bb] and the stars gather slowly [Eb] in the skies.
These are [Ab] the times when I [Bb] know how alone [Eb] one can be,
and I yearn to go once [Ab] again [Bb] back to my girl down in Port [Eb] of Spain.
On some distant shore [Bb] as I walk the sand and watch the lovers [Eb] meet,
they stand in the moonlight [Ab] hand in hand with [Bb] the surf breaking over [Eb] their feet.
These are [Ab] the times when I [Bb] know how alone one [Eb] can be,
and I yearn to go once [Ab] again [Gm] back to my girl down in Port [Eb] of Spain.
In Mandalay [Bb] at her gay cafe, in the wee little [Eb] hours of morn,
when guitars and [Ab] violins end their play [Bb] with the hymn to the goddess [Eb] of dawn.
These are [Ab] the times when I [D] know how [Bb]
alone one [Eb] can be,
and I yearn to go [Ab] once again [Bb] back to [Gm] my girl down in Port of [Eb] Spain.
These are [Ab] the times when I [Bb] know how alone [Eb] one can be,
and I yearn to go [Ab] once again [D] back to my [Bb] girl down in Port [Eb] of Spain.
These are [Ab] the times when I [Bb] know how [Eb] alone one can be,
and I yearn to go [Ab] once again [Bb] back to my girl down [Gm] in [Eb] Port of Spain.
