lyrics

Sea Shells (E)
John Holkeboer

Intro: Vocals and Guitars

Verse 1:

I walked along the lonely streets I knew
I walked alone to catch a glimpse of you
Cracks in the pavement like the cracks inside my life
I'm walking through a dream with nothing in between, oh (Band in on beats 3 & 4)

E- A-
The water falls and flows into the stream
E- C G
I'm not at all surprised by what I've seen
C G
The last hundred miles take us to the ocean's wide
D D7
You take me to the side, make me apologize

Chorus:

C G
Say you don't believe me that I ran into a door
C E- G D
say you can't conceive that I came crashing through the floor
C C- G E-
say you'll never leave me baby - stay forever more
A C G
and I will bring you sea shells by the shore

Verse 2:

I wrote a song, I tried to make it true
I wrote a song and tried to capture you
Capture the way you soothe me, describe you in repose
you take me by the hand, we lie down in the sand

Repeat Chorus

(Solo Interlude: Bb Bb / D- D- / Eb Eb / Bb Bb / Bb Bb / D- D- / Eb Eb / D D /)

(Lead Guitar solos over 1st 8 bars then Steel Guitar solos over 2nd 8 bars)

Verse 3:

I wrote a song, I tried to make it true
I wrote a song and tried to capture you
Capture the way you soothe me, describe you in repose
you take me by the hand, and make me understand

Repeat Chorus + tag
