G
The boats were all set to depart
                                D
The crews mend the nets for the journey
    G                              C
One last kiss from sweethearts and wives
         D                          G
Who were left standing there by the sea.

G
One young wife with tears in her eyes
                               D
Who had only a short time been wed
         G                    C
But with others she waited re turn
       D                     G
Of her husband the fisherman Ned.

G
She watched the small boats where they sailed
                              D
Just a spec on the distant ho rizon
         G                     C
Then she turned her weary foot home
        D                              G
For she knew that the night would soon come.

G   C         G             D
How empty the village would be
    G                      D
How lonely the fisherman's wife
    G                            C
For this was Ned's first trip to sea
            D                        G
Since she'd moved to the village his wife.

                  D G

G
Some days now have passed since they've gone
                          D
Was time to return to the harbor
    G                       C
The women and children were there
     D                         G
With laughter and hearts all a stir.

G
And soon there were cries of delight
                                   D
From the lips of the ones who were gathered
  G                           C
A pointed white sail had been seen
          D                           G
They were welcomed and hailed as they neared.

G
And then came a sign of despair
                                    D
For the sight of the boats they had yearned
     G                         C
They all knew that fifteen had left
    D                    G
But only fourteen had re turned.

G     C        G              D
There Grace so torn could not see
    G                            D
Was Ned's boat that could not be found
    G                            C
The others trekked back to their homes
      D                        G
While Grace knelt there on the ground.

The story was told of the wind
                                   D
And the storm how the one boat was swept
        G                        C
How the men had been lost in the night
         D                      G
Then the whole village silently wept.

    C             G             D
The village still tells how for years
    G                     D
The young fisherwoman and bride
    G                          C
Had watched for a boat to come in
     D                     G
Each day by the lonely sea side.
