C   C/G   C          C/G     F               C    C/G  C  C/G
 So I sat there with rapt at-tention, on the sand,

C         C/G    C      C/G   F                    C    C/G  C  C/G
 Steaming on the watery main, through the waves so cold.
C          C/G      C      C/G F            C     C/G  C  C/G
 Heard his tinkling banjo, and his voice so grand.

C      C/G    C       C/G F              C    C/G  C  C/G
 Had I not my work to do, and my face to show.
C     C/G      C         C/G       F            C   C/G  C  C/G
 I re-joice to know he's well, but I must go in-land,

Chorus 9:

C          C/G     Am                 F            C    C/G  C  C/G

   C       C/G C    C   C/G   F             C     C/G  C  C/G
Re-vealing the moon shi-ning, on the pebble drift.
       C       C/G   C     C/G       F        C    C/G  C  C/G
Contem-plating every other word, the starfish said;

 Whistly winds, they filled my dreams, in my dreaming bed.
