Sea Fever Tabulatur von John Masefield (original Author)

Em                              C                          Em                         C
I must go down to the seas again, to the lonely sea and the sky,

Em                     C                    Am                    Em
And all I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by;

Em                     C                 Em      C                   A#      C      Em
And the wheel's kick and the wind's song and the white sail's shaking,

A#      C                       Em    Am              Am   C       Em                     
And a grey mist on the sea's face, and a grey dawn breaking.
 
Em                              C                          Em                         C
I must go down to the seas again, for the call of the running tide

Am                         Am                 A#         C   Em
Is a wild call and a clear call that may not be denied;

A#         C           Am     Em               Em      Am    A#
And all I ask is a windy day with the white clouds flying,

             Em    Am                 Em      Am                    A#  C      Em
And the flung spray and the blown spume, and the sea-gulls crying.
 

D                                                              A
I must go down to the seas again, to the vagrant gypsy life,

G                  D                 G          D                     D                   D7        E
To the gull's way and the whale's way where the wind's like a whetted knife;

D           E           G       D                D            A        G
And all I ask is a merry yarn from a laughing fellow-rover,

       G       D                G        D                       G    D  A        D
And quiet sleep and a sweet dream when the lo - ng trick's over.

       A                      D                       G                                     D
And all I ask ... Is a tall ship ... And a sweet dream ... And the wind's song
