 AT THE HARBOUR 
 -------------- 
  
 By Dunford/Thatcher 
 >From the album Ashes Are Burning by Renaissance (1973) 
  
 Play with Capo on second fret. The chords listed hear are transposed one 
 tone backward (Am should actually be Bm when the Capo is applied) 
 All verses have the same sequence of chords. The two chorus have another 
 sequence. There is a piano intro and ending, ommitted here. 
 The verses are played in a fast arpeggio. Simply pluck the chords of the 
 chorus.

 Am              D 
 Out at daybreak to the sun 
 C                 D 
 Seas are drifting glass 
     Am                D 
 The tides were turning to the storm 
 C                 D 
 Winds were moving fast 
 F             G 
 Women waiting at the harbour 
 C              E 
 Silent stand around 
 F               G 
 Weather storms another day 
     C               E 
 For men the sea has found 
  
  
 Fisherman were laying nets 
 The barrels spread the bait 
 The seagulls warning echoed round 
 Winds that wouldn't wait 
 People gathered at the harbour 
 Waiting for the tide 
 Eyes half closed against the spray 
 And tears they cannot hide 
  
  
 [Chorus] 
 Am              Dm 
 Shadows falling at the harbour 
 G            C 
 Women stant around 
 Am               Dm 
 Weather storms another way 
     G       Em      Am         D       C      D 
 For man the sea had drowned 
  
  
 Hulls were creaking crashing sails 
 Rains were slanting down 
 The oilskins flapping, decks awash 
 Slanting turning round 
 Thunder roaring at the harbour 
 Women drawn in fear 
 Huddle up to wait the time 
 And pray the sky well clear 
  
 Howling winds and the raging waves 
 Cracked upon the boats 
 And torn from safety, torn from life 
 Men with little hope 
 Ghostly echoes at the harbour 
 Whispering of death 
 Women weeping holding hands 
 Of those they still have left 
  
  
 [Chorus] 
 Shadows falling at the harbour 
 Women stant around 
 Weather storms another way 
 For man the sea had drowned 
  
  
 Have Fun!
