SALTWATER JOYS
Buddy Wasisname And The Other Fellers.
Capo on 5th fret

Just to {C}wake up in the {G}morning to the {Am}quiet of the {F}cove
And to {C}hear Aunt Bessie {G7}talking to her{C}self
And to {C}hear poor Uncle {G}John mumbling {Am}wishes to old {F}Nell,
It {C}made me feel like {G7}everything was {C}fine.

I was {G}born down by the {Am}water, It's {F}here I'm gonna {C}stay;
I've {G}searched for all the {Am}reasons why {F}I should go {C}away,
But I haven't got the {G}thrist for all those {Am}modern-day {F}toys,
So {C}I'll just take my chances with those {G7}salt-water {C}joys.

{C}Following the little {G}brook as it {Am}trickles to the {F}shore
In the {C}autumn when the {G7}trees are flaming {C}red,
Kicking {C}leaves that fall around {G7}me, watching {Am}sunset paint the {F}hills,
It's {C}all I'll ever {G7}need to feel at {C}home.

{G}This this island that we {Am}cling to has been {F}handed down with {C}pride
By {G}folks who fought to {Am}live here, taking hard{F}ships all in {C}stride,
So I'll compliment her {G}beauty, {Am}hold on to my {F}goodbyes,
{C}Stay and take my chances with those {G7}salt-water {C}joys.

{C}How can I leave those {G}mornings with the {Am}sunrise on the {F}cove
And the {C}gulls like flies sur{G7}rounding Clayton's {C}wharf?
{C}Platter's Island wrapped in {G}rainbow in the {Am}evening after {F}fog,
The {C}ocean smells are {G7}perfume to my {C}soul.

{G}Some go to where the {Am}buildings {F}reach to meet the {C}clouds,
{G}Where warm and gentle {Am}people turn to {F}swarm in faceless {C}crowds.
So I'll do without their {G}riches, the {Am}glamour and the {F}noise,
And I'll {C}stay and take my chances with those salt{G7}water {C}toys.

And I'll {C}stay and take my chances with those salt{G7}water {C}joys.

Harrison, you'll notice I moved your lyrics into separate posts, one per song; and I titled each post with the title of the song. It works better that way for indexing.
Thanks for posting all the songs.
