[Verse 1]
  C     F      C                     G/D
I saw a ship a-sailing, on the ocean blue
  C         E           Am    Em
I ran right down to the ocean side
   Dm         G      C
In hopes that it was you.

[Verse 2]
         F      C                             G
So long ago you left me, to sail to a foreign land
    C         E         Am      Em
But when that ship went sailing by
   Dm            G      C
My hopes dropped to the sand.

[Chorus]
C   E7      Am    Em    Dm             G7
Sea breeze, ocean wave, bring my lover please
C        E     Am        Em
Turn her sails toward my heart
    Dm        G7      C
And bring her back to me.

[Verse 3]
    C      F     C                               G
The rising sun reminds me, of the day she had to go
    C       E7           Am      Em
She set her sails to the morning tide
    Dm        G          C
And filled my heart with woe.

[Verse 4]
            F        C                           G/D
She told me when she left me, she'd sail to many shores
        C          E7            Am     Em
But her heart, her dreams, would always be
         Dm       G         C
With the one that she loved so.

[Chorus]
C   E7      Am    Em    Dm             G7
Sea breeze, ocean wave, bring my lover please
C        E     Am        Em
Turn her sails toward my heart
Dm        G7      C
Bring her back to me.

[Coda]
Dm        G       C
Bring her back to me
Dm                  G    C
Bring - her- back - to - me..
