| D | A | |
| Long afloat | on shipless oceans |
| G | Bm | |
| I did all my | best to smile |
| D | A | |
| 'Til your singing | eyes and fingers |
| G | Bm | |
| Drew me loving | to your isle |
| D | Cadd9 | |
| And you sang | "Sail to me, |
| G/B | D | |
| sail to me let me enf | old you |

| Were you hare when | I was fox? |
| D | A | |
| Now my foolish | boat is leaning |
| G | Bm | |
| Broken lovelorn | on your rocks |
| D | Cadd9 | |
| For you sing | "Touch me not, |
| G/B | D | |
| touch me not, come back tom | orrow |
| Bm | A | G | |
| Oh my heart, oh my heart, | shies from the s | orrow" |
| D | A | |
| I am puzzled, | as the oyster. |
| G | Bm | |
| I am troubled, | as the tide. |
| D | A | |
| Should I stand | amid your breakers. |
| G | Bm | |
| Or should I lie with | death my bride |
| D | Cadd9 | |
| Hear me sing, | "Swim to me, |

| swim to me, let me enf | old you |
| Bm | A | G | |
