[1st Verse]
E D
I know I dont get there often enough
E D
But God knows I surely tried
E D
it's a magic kind of medicine
A G E A G E
No Doctor could prescribe
[2nd Verse]
E D
I used to rule my world from a payphone
E D
and ships out, on the sea
E
but now times are rough
D
and I got too much stuff,
A G E
can't explain the likes of me
[Bridge]
A B E
But there's this one, particular harbor
A B E
So far but yet, so near
A B E C#m
Where I see the days as they fade away
A B E
and finally disappear.
[Pre-Chorus]
N.C. E A B
But now I think about the good times
B A E
Down in the Carribean sunshine,
E A B
In my younger days I was so bad
B A E A E
Laughin about all the fun we had,
E A B
I've seen enough to feel the world spin,
B A E
mixing different oceans meeting cousins
E A B
Listen to the drummers and the night sounds
A B E
Listen to the singers make the world go 'round

E D
Lakes below the mountain
E D
Flow into the sea
E D
Like oils applied to canvas
A G E
they permeate through me.
[Bridge 2]
A B E
And there's this one, particular harbor
A B E
Sheltered from the wind
A B E C#m
Where the children play on the shore each day
A B E
and all are safe within.
[Bridge 3]
A B E
A most mysterious calling harbor
A B E
So far but yet so near
A B E C#m
I can see the day when my hair's full grey
A B E
and I finially dissappear
