E* Cmaj7 A* E*
All along the lee shore
E* Cmaj7 A* E*
Shells lie scattered in the sand
E* Cmaj7 Am7 G G/C G
Winking up like shining eyes, at me

>From the sea
Here is one like sunrise
It's older than you know
It's still lying there where some careless wave
Forgot it long ago
When I awoke this morning
I dove beneath my floating home
Down below her graceful side in the turning tide
To watch the seafish roam
There I heard a story
>From the sailors of the Sandra Marie
There's another island a day's run away from here
And it's empty and free
From here to Venezuela
There's nothing more to see
Than a hundred thousand islands
flung like jewels upon the sea
For you and me
Sunset smells of dinner
Women are calling at me to end my tails
But perhaps I'll see you, the next quiet place
F E* A* E* E*
I furl my sails

PICKING PATTERN:
E--------------- play the high E note only at the very very end
B-------3-------
G-----0-----0---
D---4-----4-----
A---------------
E-0------------- <- change this to open A for A*
NOTE: "This tuning is actually in EEEEBE (tuned down a bit), but I prefer EBEEBE
since it's much easier to tune to. The only time this makes a difference in this song is
in riff B. Those who use the real EEEEBE should adjust this riff a bit."
