[Verse 1]
Em7            A9
     Flocking   ...to the sea,
Em7                   A9
     Crowds of people wait for me,
Em7                   A9
     Seagulls scavenge----, steal ice cream,
Em7                   A9
     Worries vanish      ...within my dream
 
[Chorus]
E             A           G       Bm     E
    I left my soul there,    down by the sea,
  A                 G     Bm           E7sus2
I lost control here-----, living free,
E             A           G        Bm     E
    I left my soul there,     down by the sea,
  A                 G     Bm
I lost control here-----, living free

[Verse 2]
Em7  A9
     Fishing boats sail past the shore,
Em7              A9
     No singing   ...May-Day anymore,
Em7                      A9
     The sun is shining,     the water is clear,
Em7                      A9
     Just you and I   ...walk along the pier
 
[Chorus]
E             A           G        Bm     E
    I left my soul there,     down by the sea,
  A                 G     Bm           E7sus2
I lost control here-----, living free,
E             A           G        Bm     E
    I left my soul there,     down by the sea,
   A                G     Bm
I lost control here----,  living free

[Verse 3]
Em7                A9
     A cool breeze flows, but mind the wasp,
Em7                       A9
     Some get stung, it's worth the cost,
Em7                     A9                    Em7
     I'd love to stay,      the city calls me home,
                        A9
More hassles, fuss, and lies on the phone
 
[Chorus]
E             A           G       Bm     E
    I left my soul there,    down by the sea,

I lost control here-----,   living free,
E             A           G       Bm     E
    I left my soul there,    down by the sea,
  A                  G       Bm           E7sus2
I lost control here-----,   living free
 
[Chorus]
E             A            G       Bm     E
