INTRO: , , , , , , , ,


[tab]
Have you stood by the ocean, on a diamond-hard morning[/tab]

[tab]
And felt the hor-izon stir deep in your soul[/tab]

[tab]
Watched the wake of a steamer as it cut through blue water[/tab]

[tab] (*)
And been gripped by a fever you just can t con-trol[/tab]

[tab]
Oh to throw off the shackles and fly with the seagulls[/tab]

[tab] (*)
To where green waves tumble before a driving sea wind[/tab]

[tab]
Or to lie on the decking on a warm summer s evening[/tab]

[tab]
Watch the red sun fall burning, be-neath the earth s rim[/tab]


CHORUS:

[tab]
But to every sailor, comes time to drop anchor[/tab]

[tab]
Haul in the sails, and make the lines fast[/tab]

[tab]
You deep water dreamer, your journey is over[/tab]

[tab] *
You re safe in the harbour at last[/tab]

[tab] *
You re safe in the harbour at last[/tab]


NOTES:
- Commemorates Stan Roger s tragic death in 1983

SAFE IN THE HARBOUR (page 2)


[tab]
Some men are sailors, but most are just dreamers[/tab]
[tab]
Held fast by the anchors they forge in their minds[/tab]
[tab]
Who in ther hearts know they ll never sail over deep water[/tab]
[tab] (*)
To search for a treasure they re a-fraid they won t find[/tab]
[tab]
So in sheltered harbours, they cling to their anchors[/tab]
[tab] (*)
Bank down their boilers and shut down their steam[/tab]
[tab]
And wait for the sailors to re-turn with bright treasures[/tab]
[tab]
That will fan the dull embers and fire up their dreams[/tab]

CHORUS:

[tab]
But to every sailor, comes time to drop anchor[/tab]
[tab]
Haul in the sails, and make the lines fast[/tab]
[tab]
You deep water dreamer, your journey is over[/tab]
[tab] *
You re safe in the harbour at last[/tab]
[tab] *
You re safe in the harbour at last[/tab]


[tab]
And some men are schemers who laugh at the dreamers[/tab]
[tab]
Take the gold from the sailors and turn it to dross[/tab]
[tab]
They re men in a prison, they re men without vision[/tab]
[tab] (*)
Whose only hor-izon is profit and loss[/tab]
[tab]
So when storm clouds come sailing a-cross your blue ocean[/tab]
[tab] (*)
Hold fast to your dreaming for all that your re worth[/tab]
[tab]
For as long as there s dreamers, there will always be sailors[/tab]
[tab]
Bringing back their bright treasures from the corners of earth[/tab]
