INTRO: Em C Em C E


#1.
E
The night was black, rain fallin' down, looked 
                   D          Em    C Em C Em
Em
Traced her footsteps down to the shore, afraid 
              D       Em  C
she's gone forever....more.


CHORUS:
A                                         Em
I looked at the sea and it seemed to say, I took 
     C              Em
your baby from you, away.
A                                   Em
I heard a voice cryin' in the deep, come join me, 
C                   Em    C Em
baby, in my endless sleep.


#2.
           E
Why did we quarrel, why did we fight, why did I leave 
     D      Em     C
her alone tonight?
E
That's why her footsteps ran into the sea, that's why 
   Em       D         Em  C Em C
my baby has gone from me.



CHORUS:
A                                         Em
I looked at the sea and it seemed to say, I took 
     C              Em
your baby from you, away.
A                                   Em
I heard a voice cryin' in the deep, come join me, 
C                   Em    C Em
baby, in my endless sleep.

* The Poppy Family left out the last verse and chorus.
  They are as follows (if you're interested.)
  The lyrics in last chorus are different from the others.

#3.
Ran into the water, heart full of fear, there in the 
breakers I saw her near.
Reached for my darlin', held her to me, stole her away 
from the angry sea.

CHORUS:
I looked at the sea and it seemed to say, you took your 
baby from me, away.
My heart cried out, she's mine to keep, I saved my baby 
from an endless sleep.
