Play with Capo on second fret. The chords listed hear are transposed one tone backward (Am should actually be Bm when the Capo is applied) All verses have the same sequence of chords. The two chorus have another sequence. There is a piano intro and ending, ommitted here. The verses are played in a fast arpeggio. Simply pluck the chords of the chorus.

Out at daybreak to the sun
Seas are drifting glass
The tides were turning to the storm
Winds were moving fast
Women waiting at the harbour
Silent stand around
Weather storms another day
For men the sea has found
Fisherman were laying nets The barrels spread the bait The seagulls warning echoed round Winds that wouldn't wait People gathered at the harbour Waiting for the tide Eyes half closed against the spray And tears they cannot hide
[Chorus]
Shadows falling at the harbour
Women stant around
Weather storms another way
For man the sea had drowned
Hulls were creaking crashing sails Rains were slanting down The oilskins flapping, decks awash Slanting turning round Thunder roaring at the harbour Women drawn in fear Huddle up to wait the time And pray the sky well clear
Howling winds and the raging waves Cracked upon the boats And torn from safety, torn from life Men with little hope Ghostly echoes at the harbour Whispering of death Women weeping holding hands Of those they still have left
[Chorus] Shadows falling at the harbour Women stant around Weather storms another way For man the sea had drowned
