Village On The Sand

  Am 
I saw three ships a sailing in
     G          Am 
From across the sea
Am                         G   Am 
Strangers were welcome but for curiosity
Am 
But come they did
Dm 
And when they did
Am              G 
Ready they did stand
Am 
And things would never be the same
       F       G      Am 
In our village on the sand
When the ships pulled in to dock the villagers did hide
When trouble came it usually was brought upon the tide
When the pirates disembarked they were making plans
And from then on things were not the same

Dm Am F G Am 
nananana
       F       G      Am 
In our village on the sand
The smugglers came into our town
And many sought to run
I stood my ground bravely and came face to face with one
Time and travel on the seas weathered face and hand
He was different than others in
My village on the sand
He told me of the years he'd spent on the stormy seas
Then he spoke a poet's words of philosophy
And when he had to leave again he asked me for my hand
And I knew I'd never see again
My village on the sand
