[Refrão]
Dm
Ooh, Broken Mast Bay
Bb
Where the balladeers play
F C
And the spirits never sleep
Bb
Where the whispers call
F C
And the legends crawl
Dm C Dm
Through the veil of the ocean deep
[Primeira Parte]
Dm
The night was still
C
And the air was stale
Dm C
And the stench of ale ran high
Bb F C
And it flowed from a pub across a cobblestone street
Dm C Dm
Where a sailor was passing by
Dm C
Oh, he drank his fill and he sang his song
Dm C
As the room began to sway
Bb F C
Then he stumbled down the road to the water's edge
Dm C Dm
Of a place called Broken Mast Bay
[Refrão]
Dm
Ooh, Broken Mast Bay
Bb
Where the balladeers play
F C
And the spirits never sleep
Bb
Where the whispers call
F C
And the legends crawl
Dm C Dm
Through the veil of the ocean deep
[Segunda Parte]
Dm C
With a dizzy head and a daring heart
Dm C
And a dingy on the shore
Bb F C
In his drunken glee he put out to sea
Dm C Dm
And he rowed to the Mists of Nore
Dm C
As he rowed along he could hear a song
Dm C
From a voice so pure and clear
Bb F C
Then a selkie rose right beside his boat
Dm C Dm
As her voice echoed in his ear
[Refrão]
Dm
Ooh, Broken Mast Bay
Bb
Where the balladeers play
F C
And the spirits never sleep
Bb
Where the whispers call
F C
And the legends crawl
Dm C Dm
Through the veil of the ocean deep
[Terceira Parte]
Dm C
Come again? said he, how can this be?
Dm C
Have I had too much to drink?
Bb F C
Not at all, she sighed with a sparkle in her eyes
Dm C Dm
I'm as true as the ocean is deep
Dm C Dm C
Why sail alone, my sailor bold, on this quiet moonlit night?
Bb F C
The sailor gawked as she whispered soft
Dm C Dm
Please stay with me till light
[Refrão]
Dm
Ooh, Broken Mast Bay
Bb
Where the balladeers play
F C
And the spirits never sleep
Bb
Where the whispers call
F C
And the legends crawl
Dm C Dm
Through the veil of the ocean deep
[Ponte]
Dm C
She shed a tear as he slurred his words
Dm C
Telling tales of life before
Bb F C
How his friends were swallowed in the treacherous swells
Dm C Dm
When they were claimed by the ocean floor
[Interlúdio] Bb F C
Bb F C Dm
[Quarta Parte]
Dm C
He wiped his eyes as the dawn advanced
Dm C
On a tired wakeless world
Bb F C
Then she left a gift in his calloused hand
Dm C Dm
'Twas a pendant made of pearl
Dm C
Hold this close when the road feels long
Dm C
And the waves don't flow your way
Bb F C Dm C Dm
When you feel alone listen for my voice on the winds of Broken Mast Bay
[Refrão]
Dm
Ooh, Broken Mast Bay
Bb
Where the balladeers play
F C
And the spirits never sleep
Bb
Where the whispers call
F C
And the legends crawl
Dm C Dm
Through the veil of the ocean deep
Dm
Ooh, Broken Mast Bay
Bb
Where the balladeers play
F C
And the spirits never sleep
Bb
Where the whispers call
F C
And the legends crawl
Dm C Dm
Through the veil of the ocean deep
[Final]
Dm C
The years sailed on and the selkie's song
Dm C
Became a memory on the wind
Bb F C
And the gift she gave found a shallow grave
Dm C Dm
In a box where his memories lived
Dm C
Until one day in the village square
Dm C
He heard a voice that he once knew
Bb F C
When he turned around he saw the sparkle in her eyes
Dm C G
Old friend, I've been waiting for you
