VERSE 3
********
D A G
Ah the day we decided to drive down to Worthing, it rained and rained
D A G
Giving us only a minute to stand by the sea
D A G
And crunching my way through the shingles, it seemed there was nothing changed
D A G
Though the jetty was maybe more scarred that I'd known it to be
D
A D
And Mandi and I stood and stared at the overcast sky
Bb D G
Where ten years ago we had stood, my Grandfather and I
Bb D
And the waves still rushed in as they had the year that he died
Bb D
And it seemed that my lifetime was shrunken and lost in the tide
Bb A D
As it rose and fell on the sideeeeeeeeeee of England
G D G D
D A F
Prince Louis Battenberg is burning the Admiralty lights
A Simple Tune To Play. Enjoy............
