KATZENJAMMER - To the Sea

Intro : Cm / G

[Cm]The wind is a'whipping through the open doors
Speaking of the sea and the rolling' waves
[Eb]Maybe there's a ship at the bottom now
Or struggling on the surface with a cry for help
[Fm]Wish I could forget and let the years go by
[G]Wish I could escape from my dreams of y[Cm]ou


Twenty years ago it was a howling storm
As the voice of a god from a great beyond
I was standing on the shore as the sky grew dark
With a hand on a bible and a hand on my heart
Wish I could forget and let the years go by
Wish I could escape from my dreams of you


(Chorus:)
Because [Eb]all I have l[A#]eft is the v[Fm]oice of the [Cm]wind
Bl[Ab]owing through the d[A#]oors of our h[Cm]ouse



The sun was drying up the rainy skies
Shining gold in our sails and our hearts standing by
Remember what they're singing on their way to the sea:
"Goodbye fare thee well, goodbye for me"
Wish I could forget and let the years go by
Wish I could escape from my dreams of you


Empty were the coffins and the house where we lived
As the grave that I dug by our place on the beach
How I wish the water could be poured out of the sea
So I can go and get you back ashore with me
Wish I could forget and let the years go by
Wish I could escape from my dreams of you

(Chorus x3)
