E                    A                   E
I still remember the day, you were standin' on the kay
       A             E                    B
with tears in your eyes while the sirens yelled
        E
It was time to go aboard
         A               E             A                E
feir the well to you my love one last look in your sad eyes
                B
and one last kiss

[Chorus]
         C#m                 A
For the miles, I crawled the ocean
          E                   B
For the miles between you and me
             C#m              A
walk all the miles, trying to kill me
             E              B
walk all the miles over the sea
       E                            A           E
every sailor here(aboard) has got a leak in his heart
     A              E             B
but no one's got a leak as big as mine
          E                            A           E
and they dream of their love, of their loved sweet heart
       A                  E               B
of the little girl in the harbor of their homes
               C#m
of their homes

[Verse 2]
          E
too many years have passed by
         A              E
too much time upon the sea
         A           E               B
all the memories of you signing two decrees
     E                           A            E
the taste of your lips, and the smell of your hair
    A               E                     B
the longing in your voice as you said goodbye

[Chorus]

         C#m                 A
For the miles, I crawled the ocean
          E                   B
For the miles between you and me
             C#m              A
walk all the miles, trying to kill me
             E              B
walk all the miles over the sea
       E                            A           E
every sailor here(aboard) has got a leak in his heart
     A              E             B
but no one's got a leak as big as mine
          E                            A           E
and they dream of their love, of their loved sweet heart
       A                  E               B
of the little girl in the harbor of their homes
               C#m
of their homes

         E (hold)                    A (hold)      E(n)
When i'm sitting here alone with the whistle in my hand
           A (hold)            E(n)           B (hold)
I hope the wind will blow this song across to you
             E (hold)                 A (hold)     E(n)
and one fine day i will return to the harbor of my home
          A (hold)        E(n)                 B (hold)
when you hear the sirens yell you'll know it's me
N.C
comin' home

walk all the miles, trying to kill me
             E              B
walk all the miles over the sea
       E                            A           E
