[ Dm ] the hound bays , the sheep graze
i’m counting the [ A ] boats in the [ Dm ] bay
as they [ G ] float they seem to [ A ] say
[ F ] “i’m counting the waves , i’m counting the waves”
[ Dm ] the men in the boats
they wave to their [ G ] wives and [ A ] say
[ Dm ] “i’m counting the hours , counting the hours ,
counting the [ A ] hours in the [ Dm ] day”
[ Dm ] i’m counting the gulls that sit on the waves
surrounding the [ A ] boats in the [ Dm ] bay
i’m counting the [ G ] miles ’till we’re [ A ] there
where the [ F ] sun and the rain and the snow
fall on the seeds and make them grow
fall on the rocks and make them [ Dm ] crack
into pebbles and [ G ] into [ A ] sand
[ Dm ] which is where i [ A ] like to [ Dm ] stand
