Při poslechu a neumělých pěveckých pokusech jsme zjistili, že slova, která kolují na internetu, jsou na mnoha místech dosti mimo. Pokusili jsme se tedy o nápravu situace. Akordy nejsou úplně přesně zarovnány, ale s tím už si každý poradí…
Ještě upozornění pro ty, kdo tuto píseň neznají a čas od času se zahledí na horizont, ona je to taková námořnická hymna, alespoň v jistých kruzích. A nezapomeňme také na francouzský originál. Anglická verze je zde.
INTRO: Am E7 Am E7
Am G Am E7
On the docks where the boredom of life is all that I own
Am G Am E7
I see boats coming in with the fruits of places unknown
F G F G
I watch as they come from the world in the sun
F C
That I see, in my mind
F G F G
But then it's farewell to this cold northern hell
C E7
They can leave far behind
Am G Am E7
Let me go where they go, let me fly the winds that they fly
Am G Am
For to stay in this place will destroy a man such as I
R:
Am E7 Am
Take me along, a long way from here,
G7 C
take me along to a far away shore
E7 Am
When you're poor it's easy to bare
F E7 Am
with sunshine and soft summer air
At the end of the day in a bar, with sailors I stand
And I talk about girls, about love a glass in my hand
But then in my dreams, I can travel at seas on a boat southern bound
And there I can hold all the magic and gold of the love I have found
When the bars on the Key side are closed alone I remain
I continue to dream and each night the dream is the same
R:
Very soon I will take any job or chance, that I can
Though I dream like a child for my dreams I'll work like an ant
Work and with pride for my ticket-to-ride where the sun shines for me
Surviving any storm, to be wild, to be warm, that's the way I must be
I'll be leaving behind no regrets and all of my past
And I'll go to the sea as I sail to freedom at last
