Capo 3rd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

Verse i

 Oh, the longer the waiting, the sweeter the kiss

 It's better my darling, I promise you this

 The next time I hold you, I'm not letting go

 Will you wait for me darling, I need to know

Verse ii

 Well, you know I'm a sailor, tomorrow we sail

 It's a hard way of living, but I know it well

 And if I surrender my life to the sea

 You can marry another, it's alright with me

Pre-chorus

 Though we won't be together again 'til the spring

 Just imagine the treasures I'll bring

Chorus

 Come lay with me, stay with me, soon I'll be gone

 But I will remember you all winter long

 And when I return to the one that I miss

 Oh, the longer the waiting, the sweeter the kiss

 The sweeter the kiss

Interlude

Pre-chorus

 When the mornings are warm and the valleys are green

 I'll come back from wherever I've been

Verse iii

 Oh, the longer the waiting, the sweeter the kiss

 It's better my darling, I promise you this

 But next time I hold you, I'm not letting go

 We will give up the ocean forever, I know

 Forever I know.
