INTRO: G, C, G, C, F, C, G, C, CCEmFC
Have you stood by the ocean, on a diamond-hard morning
GDmCG
And felt the hor-izon stir deep in your soul
CEmFC
Watched the wake of a steamer as it cut through blue water
EmDmGC (*)
And been gripped by a fever you just can't con-trol
CEmFC
Oh to throw off the shackles and fly with the seagulls
EmDmCG (*)
To where green waves tumble before a driving sea wind
CEmFC
Or to lie on the decking on a warm summer's evening
EmDmCGC
Watch the red sun fall burning, be-neath the earth's rim
CHORUS:
CEmFG
But to every sailor, comes time to drop anchor
CEmFG
Haul in the sails, and make the lines fast
CGFG
You deep water dreamer, your journey is over
CGF *
You're safe in the harbour at last
CGF *
You're safe in the harbour at last
NOTES:
- Commemorates Stan Roger's tragic death in 1983

SAFE IN THE HARBOUR (page 2)
CEmFC
Some men are sailors, but most are just dreamers
GDmCG
Held fast by the anchors they forge in their minds
CEmFC
Who in ther hearts know they'll never sail over deep water
EmDmGC (*)
To search for a treasure they're a-fraid they won't find
CEmFC
So in sheltered harbours, they cling to their anchors
EmDmCG (*)
Bank down their boilers and shut down their steam
CEmFC
And wait for the sailors to re-turn with bright treasures
EmDmCGC
That will fan the dull embers and fire up their dreams
CHORUS:
CEmFG
But to every sailor, comes time to drop anchor
CEmFG
Haul in the sails, and make the lines fast
CGFG
You deep water dreamer, your journey is over
CGF *
You're safe in the harbour at last
CGF *
You're safe in the harbour at last
CEmFC
And some men are schemers who laugh at the dreamers
GDmCG
Take the gold from the sailors and turn it to dross
CEmFC
They're men in a prison, they're men without vision
EmDmGC (*)
Whose only hor-izon is profit and loss
CEmFC
So when storm clouds come sailing a-cross your blue ocean
EmDmCG (*)
Hold fast to your dreaming for all that your're worth
CEmFC
For as long as there's dreamers, there will always be sailors
EmDmCGC
Bringing back their bright treasures from the corners of earth
