{title: To the Sea}
{subtitle:Katzenjammer}

[Am][E]

{c:1.}
The [Am]wind is a-whipping through the open door
speaking of the sea and the rolling waves
[C]Maybe there's a ship at the bottom now
or struggling on the surface with a cry for help
[Dm]Wish I could forget and let the years go by
[E]wish I could escape from my dreams of [Am]you
[Am]Twenty years ago was a howling storm
like the voice of a god from the great beyond
I was [C]standing on the shore as the sky grew dark
with a hand on a bible and a hand on my heart
[Dm]Wish I could forget and let the years go by
[E]wish I could escape from my dreams of [Am]you

{start_of_chorus: R}
Because [C]all I have [G]left is the [Dm]voice of the [Am]wind
[F]blowing through the [G]doors of our [Am]house!
{end_of_chorus}

{c:2.}
The [Am]sun was drying up the rain in our sky
Shining gold in our sails and our hearts standing by
Re[C]member what they're singing on their way to the sea:
„Goodbye fare thee well, goodbye for me“
[Dm]Wish I could forget and let the years go by
[E]Wish I could escape from my dreams of [Am]you
[Am]Empty were the coffins and the house where we lived
as the grave that I dug by our place on the beach
[C]How I wish the water could be poured out of the sea
so I can go and get you back ashore with me
[Dm]Wish I could forget and let the years go by
[E]Wish I could escape from my dreams of [Am]you
