INTRO: G, C, G, C, F, C, G, C, C

	C	Em	F	C
Have you	stood by the	ocean, on a	diamond-hard	morning

	G	Dm	C	G
And	felt the hor-	izon stir	deep in your	soul

	C	Em	F	C
Watched the	wake of a	steamer as it	cut through blue	water

Em Dm G C (*)

And been gripped by a fever you just can't con-trol

	C	Em	F	C
Oh to	throw off the	shackles and	fly with the	seagulls

Em Dm C G (*)

To where green waves tumble before a driving sea wind

	C	Em	F	C
Or to	lie on the	decking on a	warm summer's	evening

	Em	Dm	C	G	C
Watch the	red sun fall	burning, be-	neath the	earth's	rim

CHORUS:

	C	Em	F	G
But	to every	sailor, comes	time to drop	anchor

	C	Em	F	G
	Haul in the	sails, and	make the lines	fast

	C	G	F	G
You	deep water	dreamer, your	journey is	over

C G F *

You're safe in the harbour at last

C G F *

You're safe in the harbour at last

NOTES:

- Commemorates Stan Roger's tragic death in 1983

SAFE IN THE HARBOUR (page 2)

	C	Em	F	C
	Some men are	sailors, but	most are just	dreamers

	G	Dm	C	G
Held	fast by the	anchors they	forge in their	minds

	C	Em	F	C
Who in ther	hearts know they'll	never sail	over deep	water

Em Dm G C (*)

To search for a treasure they're a-fraid they won't find

	C	Em	F	C
So	in sheltered	harbours, they	cling to their	anchors

Em Dm C G (*)

Bank down their boilers and shut down their steam

	C	Em	F	C
And	wait for the	sailors to re-	turn with bright	treasures

	Em	Dm	C	G	C
That will	fan the dull	embers and	fire up	their	dreams

CHORUS:

	C	Em	F	G
But	to every	sailor, comes	time to drop	anchor

	C	Em	F	G
	Haul in the	sails, and	make the lines	fast

	C	G	F	G
You	deep water	dreamer, your	journey is	over

C G F *

You're safe in the harbour at last

C G F *

You're safe in the harbour at last

	C	Em	F	C
And	some men are	schemers who	laugh at the	dreamers

	G	Dm	C	G
Take the	gold from the	sailors and	turn it to	dross

	C	Em	F	C
They're	men in a	prison, they're	men without	vision

Em Dm G C (*)

Whose only hor-izon is profit and loss

	C	Em	F	C
So when	storm clouds come	sailing a-	cross your blue	ocean

Em Dm C G (*)

Hold fast to your dreaming for all that your're worth

	C	Em	F	C
For as	long as there's	dreamers, there will	always be	sailors

	Em	Dm	C	G	C
Bringing	back their bright	treasures from the	corners	of	earth

ENDING: CHORUS, FOLLOWED BY A "C" CHORD
