Biography:
It seems fitting that Adam Arcuragi grew up listening to his grandparents collection of old soul and gospel records, because according to NPR, he is 'a Philly soul with the old school power of Van Morrison'.
As an award winning poet and playwright, Adam’s songs spill over with compelling and poignant lyrics that garner continuous praise, or as All Music Guide states: “There is unbridled joy inherent in even the saddest of these songs, and unforgettable images in almost every verse”.

Port Song by Adam Arcuragi
Standard tuning
C
Well let me get your boots for you
G
I’m sure that I’ll be fine
F
Darling I’m sure, but that’s not what I had in mind
C
Then leave that sink alone
G
I’m sure that they can wait ’till morning
F
There’s one more drinking cup
Fm
we will leave tonight unwashed
C G
So let me be your come back down
Dm F
Let me be your gettin’ on
C G Dm F
Let me be the first voice as you step down from that boat
C G
Tell me of the sea and foam
Dm F
A thousand ocean-miles from home
C G Dm F
The simple gift is the song you hear from this small familiar shore
C
You’ve seen the sun from all around
G
and happily you’re so
F C
this old world has yet to give you up
C
But if there were given more,
G
to this tiny happy shore
F
When the purpose that was fine
Fm
freed itself from that divine
C G
So let me be your come back down
Dm F
steady as a hand to hold
C G Dm F
Let me be the first voice as you step down from that boat
C G
Tell me of the sea and foam
Dm F
A thousand ocean-miles from home
C G Dm F
The simple gift is the song you hear from this small familiar shore
C G Dm F (x2)
C (fade out)
