I Cover The Waterfront

G6                   Bb9       G6               Bb9 
Away from the city    the hurts and knocks, 
     G6            Bb9          G6            Bb9 
I'm standing alone by the desolate docks 
        G6            Bb9          G      Bb9 
In the still and the chill of the night; 
G6                Bb9        G6             Bb9 
I see the horizon,   the great unknown 
    G6                  Bb9                G6       Bb9 
My heart has an ache, it's as heavy as stone  
              G6             Bb9               G6 
Will the dawn coming on make it last? 
Melody:

I cover the waterfront,        I'm watching the sea; 
Em7      G/B         A7     D6     Cdim    D   D6 
Will the one that I love be coming back to me? 
Em7/9 Em7       A7/6       A7  Dalt      G           F#m7   Fdim 
I   cover the waterfront,          in search of my love, 
        Em7          G/B       A7   D     Gm  D 
And I'm covered by a deep blue sky above. 
Bridge: 
Em7    A7  D7M        B7 
Here am I, patiently waiting, 
Em7         A7              D7M        Bm7 
Hoping and longing  oh, how I yearn! 
B7                        E7M          C#m 
Where are you?  Are you forgetting? 
A           B7              A7/13        A7 
Do you remember?  Will you return? 
Em7/9 Em7      A7/6       A7      D          F#m7      
I  cover the waterfront,    I'm watching the sea, 
 Fdim       Em          Em7         G        A7sus4 A7  D 
'Cause the one that I love will soon come back  to me.
