C G Am G F on the broad backs of men , we never met with their pens and their stones , G C they did the same , C G Am G F in the hours passed in the pubs , all the glasses were full and they were G C wet to the sleeve . C G Am G F G C and the eyes were so clear on the girl i met there , i swore id never leave . Chorus F G and the young men who longed for these shores in a song , C C/B Am all they wanted was a home , F G C C/B Am and i wanted one too with a girl eyes as blue as the light of dawn , F G C patiently , she waits there for me to come home . Verse 2 C G Am G F G was a bleary - eyed night , drunk from the lights and the sounds of a city C awake , C G Am G F G and she stood in the crowd , her face as a shroud , leaving nothing for my eye C to take . C G Am G F but a warmth was so clear , it betrayed her as nearly she glowed like those G C lights on the Bridge , C G Am G F G and a pain in my side , as i was drawn to her pride like the rise of the wind C to the ridge . Chorus F G and the young men who longed for these shores in a song , C C/B Am all they wanted was a home , F G C C/B Am and i wanted one too with a girl eyes as blue as the light of dawn , F G C patiently , she waits there for me to come home . instrumental - play Chorus chords Verse 3 ( stum full chords ) C G Am G F these waters have run red , these beaches have bled from the wounds at the G C dark heart of man , C G Am G F daughters grown sharp , tongues like knives to the heart or a charm for the G C curse of the land , C G Am G F with prayers in their eyes , how well they’ve disguised that it’s love G C they’re giving away . C G Am G F G but you might believe when your hard heart says leave but this one implores C you to stay . Chorus F G and the young men who longed for these girls with our songs , C C/B Am all we wanted was a home . F G C C/B Am she wants one too with someone heart as true as this prison made of stone , F G C patiently , she waits there for me to come home , F G C patiently , i wait to be free and be home . thanks guys : ) x
