Lost In The Harbour

Tom: Bb

Bb     Bb/A     Gm        G7
  Over here the ladies all want sweet per-
Cm     EbAug     Cm           F7
-fume      But there's never a rose
      Bb      Bb/A      Gm         G7
And over there      the roses are frightened to
Cm     EbAug     Cm           F7
bloom     So they never can grow

[Chorus 1]
    Eb                  Eb/D      Edim7        F7
And over here they need wool for weaving their baby's new
  Bb     Bb/A     Gm     G7
clothes       But nobody has any
Cm     EbAug   Cm                    F7
wool           And the sheep are all lost in the
Bb      EbMaj7         Bb     EbMaj7
harbour    Lost in the Harbour

[Verse 2]
Bb        Bb/A  Gm            G7
And over here     they want diamonds to
Cm     EbAug        Cm        F7
wear       but there aren't any here
Bb           Bb/A  Gm        G7
And over there   everyone's hiding their
Cm     EbAug        Cm       F7
tears but they're crying inside

[Chorus 2]
Eb                  Eb/D                 Edim7        F7
And the wall won't come down Til they're no longer afraid of
Bb     Bb/A     Gm         G7
themselves     If you don't believe me, ask
Cm     EbAug   Cm         F7
yourselves And I can come down to the
Bb      EbMaj7              Bb     EbMaj7
harbour        down to the harbour

[Chorus 3]
Eb             Eb/D       Edim7      F7
And then I will fill the ocean back up with my
Bb     Bb/A     Gm            G7
tears         I still have a couple more
Cm     EbAug      Cm             F7
years        and then I can come back to the
Bb      EbMaj7              Bb     EbMaj
harbour       down to the harbour
