INTRO: Em G A (x 2)
Em Watch out big  G ships are  A waiting
Em Salt frozen  G on your  A cheek
Em Saw a girl and  G boy arr A iving
Em And a steamer  G put out to  A sea
Chorus
G Tall  A tree  Em stand in the distance
G Re A member  Em when you were  C green
G Don't  A wipe the  Em salt from your  C skin
You must keep  D running the distance
Em   G   A
Em Sun sleeps on  G misty  A morning
Em Light years from  G channel  A 3
Em I feel  G halfway to  A zero
Em Call me a hero I might just agree
Chorus
(F) (G7) (D)
