[Intro]
B G#m E F# E F# B
[Verse]
G#m E F#
Do you remember riding home before a dying summer breeze
E F# B F#
Your tops'ls gleaming golden, setting sun among the trees
B G#m E F#
And the osprey wheeling slowly through the shadows by the shore
E F# B F#
Where the towering cliffs of granite plunge ten fathoms deep or more
E F# B
And the eddies swirl and flow down below
[Verse]
G#m E F#
You were solid-built of Douglas fir and oak and yellow pine
E F# B F#
Two hundred feet, sailed by a crew that numbered only nine
B G#m E F#
Hauling lumber through your timberports, and dyewood from the south
E F# B F#
Running home from Norfolk, bearing coal to heat the north
E F# B
And whatever they could stow down below
{Chorus]
F# B E C#m F#
But the winter is upon you now, and time is passing slow
C#m F# B
And the tides ebb and flow down below
[Verse]
G#m E F#
You served them well for fifteen years, your canvas all unfurled
E F# B F#
When New England sailing ships were found in ports around the world
B G#m E F#
But spars gave way to smokestacks, clouds of white to black and grey
E F# B F#
There was nothing left for you to do, but waste your time away
E F# B
And the rot was spreading slow, down below
{Chorus]
F# B E C#m F#
But the winter is upon you now, and time is passing slow
C#m F# B
And the tides ebb and flow down below
[Verse]
G#m E F#
From Wiscasset to the China Lakes, the Narrow Gauge did run
E F# B F#
And to push it northward to Quebec was old Frank Winter's plan
B G#m E F#
And the schooners were to bring his cargoes in to meet the train
E F# B F#
When he found you idle by the dock, he brought you down to Maine
E F# B
Where the tides ebb and flow down below
[Verse]
G#m E F#
You know he tried the best he could, but he just couldn't make it pay
E F# B F#
So he ran you both aground, and turned around and walked away
B G#m E F#
You've been waiting here for fifty years, but no one set you free
E F# B F#
Now you're broken down and dying, lying open to the sea
E F# B
And the tides ebb and flow down below
{Chorus]
F# B E C#m F#
And the winter is upon you now, and time is passing slow
C#m F# B
And the tides ebb and flow down below
[Verse]
G#m E F#
Now the people come to stare at you with wonder in their eyes
E F# B F#
For times have changed since men knew how to work a ship your size
B G#m E F#
And the seas you sailed are running black, in time we'll know our loss
E F# B F#
It's too late now for you, but is it too late now for us?
E F# B
Can you teach what you know before you go?
{Chorus]
F# B E C#m F#
For the winter is upon you now, and time is passing slow
C#m F# B
And the tides ebb and flow down below
{Chorus]
F# B E C#m F#
For the winter is upon you now, and time is passing slow
C#m F# B
And the tides ebb and flow down below
B G#m E F# E F# B
