I Wave Bye Bye

Jesse Winchester


Tom: G

Intro: Am7 - Bm7 - C - D

Verse 1
G                        Em
Just out in the harbour, all the ships asleep
Am                       C              D
Maybe one cold watchman, walks a lonely beat
    G                       Em
And way out on the water, a ship is under sail
Am                            C              D
Leaving wavy starlight, and a dreamer in her trail

Chorus
  G        Em     Am        D
I wave bye bye, I pray, God speed
     G            Em            Am            D
Oh I wish, lovely weather, more luck than you need
       G    Bm7     Am7      C                     Am7   D
You'll only sail in circles, so there's no need to cry
    G        Bm7  G         Em7 Am7         D        G
No, I'll see you, again one day, and then I wave bye bye

Verse 2
    G                        Em
The sailing ship reminds me, of a certain girl
    Am                         C             D
Who left a certain dreamer, to sail into the world
     G                              Em
I've very friendly post-cards, from very far away
Am                       C            D
But they just remind me, of a certain day

Chorus

  G         Em     Am        D
I wave, bye bye, I pray, God speed
  G            Em                 Am             D
I wish, lovely weather, with more luck, than you need
       G    Bm7     Am7      C                     Am7  D
You'll only sail in circles, so there's no need to cry
   G         Bm7  G         Em7  Am7    D         G
No I'll, see you, again one day, then I waved bye bye
G
Bye bye
