Verse 1

G
As my boat draws near the harbor
D7                          G
Knowing soon that you'll be mine
But if another has you darling
D7                        G
I'll go drifting with the tide

Verse 2

C                             G
I have crossed the great wide ocean
                      D7
I have waited for the time
    G
But if another has you darling
D7                    G
I'll go drifting with tide

Verse 3

A long long time has passed my darling
D7                              G
Since that night you made those vows
I know my heart would break with sorrow
D7                          G
If you should say it's over now

Verse 2

C                             G
I have crossed the great wide ocean
                      D7
I have waited for the time
    G
But if another has you darling
D7                    G
I'll go drifting with tide

Verse 2

C                             G
I have crossed the great wide ocean

I have waited for the time
    G
But if another has you darling
D7                    G
I'll go drifting with tide
