Thread Name: Chord Req: Windy Harbour (Pete Abbott)
Subject: RE: Chord Req: Windy Harbour - John Wright Band
This is a transcription I did some time ago. The chords are my attempt and are probably wrong - they're certainly not line up in the right place when I upload them, but I'm not sure the best way to alter this so it is correct for everyone. If anyone's got a better set of chords I'd be grateful.
Windy Harbour
Pete Abbott
C G Am
I'm standing on the beach at Windy harbour
Dm G
Looking out across the open sea
C G Am
I remember being here once with my Father
Dm G
On a summer evening 1963
C G Am
And he said "Son, take a look on the horizon
Dm G
There's a world beyond I long for you to see
C G Am
But if you ever sail across the ocean
Dm G C
Remember son this day you had with me"
G
He said, "Life is a game
Am Dm
Win or lose it's all the same
G Dm
You live and you die
G
Just don't let it pass you by
C Am
You have choices to make
Dm
You have chances to take
G C
You will laugh, you will sing and you will cry
Dm G C
But don't let a moment pass you by"
So I'm standing here again at Windy Harbour
Looking out once more across the sea
But this time it is me who is the Father
And younger eyes are looking up to me
And I said "Son, take a look on the horizon
There's a world beyond that I have never seen
But I hope one day you'll sail across that ocean
To all the places I have never been"
"You see life is a game
Win or lose it's all the same
You live and you die
Just don't let it pass you by
You have choices to make
You have chances to take
You will laugh, you will sing, and you will cry
But don't let a moment pass you by
Remember, life is a game
Win or lose it's all the same
You live and you die
Just don't let it pass you by
You have choices to make
You have chances to take
You will laugh, you will sing, and you will cry
Spread your wings and you will fly
But don't let a moment
Not one precious moment
Don't let a moment pass you by
