Broken Mast Bay

[Refrão]

     Dm
Ooh, Broken Mast Bay
          Bb
Where the balladeers play
        F             C
And the spirits never sleep
          Bb
Where the whispers call
        F       C
And the legends crawl
            Dm          C     Dm
Through the veil of the ocean deep

[Primeira Parte]

    Dm
The night was still
        C
And the air was stale
        Dm                C
And the stench of ale ran high
       Bb                         F           C
And it flowed from a pub across a cobblestone street
        Dm         C       Dm
Where a sailor was passing by
       Dm                    C
Oh, he drank his fill and he sang his song
       Dm            C
As the room began to sway
        Bb                            F       C
Then he stumbled down the road to the water's edge
     Dm           C           Dm
Of a place called Broken Mast Bay

[Refrão]

     Dm
Ooh, Broken Mast Bay
          Bb
Where the balladeers play
        F             C
And the spirits never sleep
          Bb
Where the whispers call
        F       C
And the legends crawl
            Dm          C     Dm
Through the veil of the ocean deep

[Segunda Parte]

       Dm               C
With a dizzy head and a daring heart
      Dm           C
And a dingy on the shore
       Bb                  F      C
In his drunken glee he put out to sea
       Dm           C        Dm
And he rowed to the Mists of Nore
      Dm                   C
As he rowed along he could hear a song
       Dm                C
From a voice so pure and clear
       Bb                  F        C
Then a selkie rose right beside his boat
       Dm           C      Dm
As her voice echoed in his ear

[Refrão]

     Dm
Ooh, Broken Mast Bay
          Bb
Where the balladeers play
        F             C
And the spirits never sleep
          Bb
Where the whispers call
        F       C
And the legends crawl
            Dm          C     Dm
Through the veil of the ocean deep

[Terceira Parte]

      Dm                 C
Come again? said he, how can this be?
       Dm              C
Have I had too much to drink?
       Bb                     F              C
Not at all, she sighed with a sparkle in her eyes
       Dm          C        Dm
I'm as true as the ocean is deep
    Dm             C                    Dm            C
Why sail alone, my sailor bold, on this quiet moonlit night?
    Bb                   F         C
The sailor gawked as she whispered soft
       Dm        C       Dm
Please stay with me till light

[Refrão]

     Dm
Ooh, Broken Mast Bay
          Bb
Where the balladeers play
        F             C
And the spirits never sleep
          Bb
Where the whispers call
        F       C
And the legends crawl
            Dm          C     Dm
Through the veil of the ocean deep

[Ponte]

    Dm                C
She shed a tear as he slurred his words
        Dm              C
Telling tales of life before
        Bb                            F           C
How his friends were swallowed in the treacherous swells
               Dm             C     Dm
When they were claimed by the ocean floor

[Interlúdio] Bb  F  C
             Bb  F  C  Dm

[Quarta Parte]

   Dm                    C
He wiped his eyes as the dawn advanced
     Dm             C
On a tired wakeless world
         Bb                 F         C
Then she left a gift in his calloused hand
        Dm      C       Dm
'Twas a pendant made of pearl
Dm                       C
Hold this close when the road feels long
        Dm                    C
And the waves don't flow your way
         Bb                F      C            Dm       C           Dm
When you feel alone listen for my voice on the winds of Broken Mast Bay

[Refrão]

     Dm
Ooh, Broken Mast Bay
          Bb
Where the balladeers play
        F             C
And the spirits never sleep
          Bb
Where the whispers call
        F       C
And the legends crawl
            Dm          C     Dm
Through the veil of the ocean deep

     Dm
Ooh, Broken Mast Bay
          Bb
Where the balladeers play
        F             C
And the spirits never sleep
          Bb
Where the whispers call
        F       C
And the legends crawl
            Dm          C     Dm
Through the veil of the ocean deep

[Final]

    Dm                      C
The years sailed on and the selkie's song
         Dm            C
Became a memory on the wind
        Bb                    F       C
And the gift she gave found a shallow grave
     Dm            C        Dm
In a box where his memories lived
  Dm                 C
Until one day in the village square
           Dm                 C
He heard a voice that he once knew
        Bb                       F              C
When he turned around he saw the sparkle in her eyes
    Dm                C           G
Old friend, I've been waiting for you
