From "Turn" (1999)
(Bob Hallett)

Tab By: Jennifer Schupska 

Capo: 2nd Fret

INTRO:  [Em]   ([Em] [A9/F#] (x4))

I [G]dreamt I saw a [Em]woman
[G]Standing by the [Em]strand
[G]Waiting for her [Em]people
To [G]come in from the [Em]land
[G]Waiting there for [Em]seven days
She built a [G]fire in the [Em]sand
[G]Waiting for her [Em]people
To [G]come in from the land

INTRO

She [G]had the look of a [Em]refugee
[G]Hiding in her [Em]eyes
And [G]when I tried to [Em]talk to her
She [G]answered with a [Em]cry
And [G]pointed to the [Em]water
Out be[G]yond the harbour[Em]line
Where a [G]thousand ships lay [Em]waiting
They lay [G]waiting for my [Em]sign

CHORUS:
But [C]I re[G]member [C]days of [G]sunlight
[C]With my [G]father [F]by my [G]side
[C]And the [G]children [C]ran be[G]fore us
[C]Like the [G]foam u[F]pon the [G]tide

We [G]ran like frightened [Em]partridge
When the [G]strangers came to [Em]talk
[G]Bringing sickness [Em]round them
And the [G]thunder in their [Em]walk
We [G]ran into the [Em]valleys
And we [G]ran into the [Em]hills
The [G]young, they ran be[Em]fore us
Driven [G]by a stranger[Em]'s will

CHORUS

INTRO

INSTRUMENTAL:  [Em] [A9/F#]  (x4)

I'm [G]waiting by the [Em]landwash
With the [G]giant standing [Em]near
I [G]see them coming [Em]always
All the [G]children and their [Em]fear
I'm [G]waiting on my [Em]blanket
And the [G]giant waits with [Em]me
And I [G]will wait here [Em]always
As they [G]fill the endless [Em]sea

CHORUS (x2)

INTRO (x2)
I remember days of sunlight
And I remember children
And I remember days of sunlight
And I remember, I remember, I remember
