:r  "4   "4      .4       .4*  .5  | ::5*  :5  |  :r    "6   "6   .6     .6*    .5*  |  .:5    .:4
       It's been some  years  a  -  go           /        since  I    left   from   my       is -  land

:r  .5   .5* .5  .5  |  :5   .4*  .:3*  |  :r  "5   "5     .5    .4*       .4*   |  :::4  | 
     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

:r  "5  "5    .5*    .5    .5   |  :5   .4*   .:3*    |  .r   .4*  .4*   .4    .2*   .3*  |  :::3 
      And  I  gazed  on   the      har   -     bour    /         on    a    grey  fog  - gy        day

Chorus: 

:r   "6    "6      .6    .6*  .(i1/i4*) |    :5*     .4*  .:5*  | :r    "6    "6       .6       .6*  .5*  |   :5     "3    "3      .:4   |
    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.

 .r     .5   .5   .5*    .5     .5   |   :5    .5     .:3*   |   .r   .4*   .4*    .4      .2*   .3*  |  :::3      
        And   I   pray  that    the      sun  will    shine    /       On   this   grey    fog -  gy       day.
