Comments:
This is my second tab. I know there's already a tab for this, but I decided
to make one. This version is basically the same and it goes with this video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ve6T_lNnG7Q&feature=related
If you watch the video, Dustin does hammer ons/offs with the Am and F
in the intro and in parts of the song. This is just a simpler way of
playing it. If there's any mistakes let me know. I know this might not
be 100%, but it's close. Please comment and rate.

Intro: Am F
Am
My lover's arms,
F
they beg me to stay.
Am
But I know the storms,
F
they will sweep me away.
E
My daughter's eyes,
F
they are two tiny seas,
E
whose water will rise
F
and then run down her cheeks.
Am
"Father where do you go,
Cmaj9
so far out upon the sea,
F C Em
when are you coming home to me?"
Am
"Darling why do you leave,
Cmaj9
as the north wind begins to blow?
F C Em
Will you be coming home to me?"
Am, F
Am
The boat and the blade,
F
they are all that I know;
Am
the sea calls my name,
Bb-5
and so I must go.
E
And while they still sleep,
F
I slip out through the door;
E
but how can I leave,
F
with my anchors ashore?
Am
"Father where do you go?
Cmaj9
It's farther than I can see,
F C Em
when are you coming home to me?"
Am
"Darling why do you leave,
Cmaj9
as the north wind begins to blow?
F C Em
Will you be coming home to me?"
