To go to the main - land, / like the old folks would say;
:r "4 "4 .4 .4* .5 | :5 * .4* .:5* | :r "6 "6 .6 .6* .5* | :5 .3 .:4
As I walked up the gang way / and I stood on the star - board

And I gazed on the har - bour / on a grey fog - gy day
Chorus:

Sum-mer days they were warm - er then / When we laughed with the old fish - er - men
"r "5 "5 .5* .5 .5 | :5 .5 .:3* | :r "5 "5 .5 .4* .4* | :::4
And they cursed when the fog rolled in / Then they made up the hay;
.r .6 .6 .6 .6* .(i1/i4*) | :5* .4* .:5* | :r "6 "6 .6 .6* .5* | :5 .4 .:4 |
It's been more than a long, long time / Since I held you and called you mine,
:r "5 "5 .5* .5 "5 "5 | :5 .5 .:3* | .r .4* .4* .4 .2* .3* | .:3 .:r |
And we wait - ed for the sun to shine On a grey fog - gy day.
Play the following line at end of final chorus.

And I pray that the sun will shine / On this grey fog - gy day.
