[Intro]
Dm7 C7sus2 D Dsus4 D Dsus4

[Verse One]

D                   Dm7                   D7sus4
Peridots and periwinkle blue medallions
Dm7                   C7sus2                          D Dsus4 D Dsus4
Gilded galleons spilled across the ocean floor
D                                      Dm7                    D7sus4
Treasure somewhere in the sea and he will find where
Dm7                    C7sus2                             D Dsus4 D Dsus4
Never mind their questions there's no answer for
D7  D6                  Asus4
The roll of the harbour wake
D7  D6              Asus4
The songs that the rigging makes
D7  D6              Asus4
The taste of the spray he takes
         Bm
And he learns to give
                           G
He aches and he learns to live
                       Bb
He stakes all his silver
G
On a promise to be free
                          Bm
Mermaids live in colonies
Dm7          C7sus2                D Dsus4 D Dsus4
All his seadreams come to me

[Verse Two]

D                    Dm7                       D7sus4
City satins left at home I will not need them
Dm7                     C7sus2          D Dsus4 D Dsus4
I believe him when he tells of loving me
D                              Dm7              D7sus4
Something truthful in the sea your lies will find you
Dm7                     C7sus2                       D Dsus4 D Dsus4
Leave behind your streets he said and come to me
D7      D6                    Asus4
Come down from the neon nights
D7         D6                 Asus4
Come down from the tourist sights
D7      D6                  Asus4
Run down till the rain delights you
         Bm
You do not hide
                 G
Sunlight will renew your pride
                    Bb
Skin white by skin golden
G
Like a promise to be free
                                 Bm
Dolphins playing in the sea
Dm7        C7sus2                  D Dsus4 D Dsus4
All his seadreams come to me

[Verse Three]

D                    Dm7                   D7sus4
Seabird I have seen you fly above the pilings
Dm7               C7sus2             D Dsus4 D Dsus4
I am smiling at your circles in the air
D                      Dm7                 D7sus4
I will come and sit by you while he lies sleeping
Dm7                          C7sus2                        D Dsus4 D Dsus4
Fold your fleet wings I have brought some dreams to share
D7     D6               Asus4
A dream that you love someone
D7     D6            Asus4
A dream that the wars are done
D7    D6             Asus4 Bm
A dream that you tell no one but the grey sea
                                  G
They'll say that you're crazy
                           Bb
And a dream of a baby
G
Like a promise to be free
                                 Bm
Children laughing out to sea
Dm7   C7sus2                  D Dsus4 D Dsus4
All his seadreams come to me
Dm7    C7sus2                 D Dsus4 D Dsus4 D
All his seadreams come to me
