Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

x 3 (listen to the song and play the d and e with alternating up

and down strumming the first time through)

September ninth

It's a sunny day

The smell of summer is still in the air

Your pirate ship

Has sailed away

I'm not so sure

What you've been up to

I gave up trying to stop you

Instead I keep watching over your things

You always have a home here

You won't fail me though you come back

with empty hands

(single hit D before chorus strumming)

I'm waiting here you might not be back

I don't think I'm irrational

(single hit D before chorus strumming)

I'm waiting here you might not be back

I'm still at number 13

(to transition to the next verse. alternate up and down strumming.

listen to the song for timing.)

Your sails are full

The coast is clear

You have no doubt

Your ship won't strand

The trouble with you is

You take too many chances but

that is also your strength

I'm often anxious

But I know you will make it through

In the highwind

Though you face a dead end

(single hit D before chorus strumming)

I'm waiting here you might not be back

I don't think I'm irrational

(single hit D before chorus strumming)

I'm waiting here you might not be back

I'm still at number 13

x 3 (for the break)

(no chords)

Oh, you said

You're not gonna back

Oh, you said

You're not gonna back

I gave up trying to stop you

Instead I keep watching over your things

You always have a home here

You won't fail me though you come back

(no chords)

with empty hands

(single hit D before chorus strumming)

I'm waiting here you might not be back

I don't think I'm irrational

(single hit D before chorus strumming)

I'm waiting here you might not be back

I'm still at number 13

x 3

(alternate up and down strumming patterns on the last bm and a. listen to the song for timing)
