 Heading for their next  destination

[Verse]
C                        
 I waited all night long

     In the pouring rain 
              Fmaj7  
Searching for my baby
C                                            G
I was drinking black coffee from a paper cup 
            F     Fmaj7      C     
And smoking forty cigarettes  yeah
    G            Am        
And when the sun in the sky
F                           
Came up early in the morning
  G                                  Fmaj7              
I said Lord Lord Lord Lord Lord Lord bring may baby back


[Chorus]

        G     C         
I cover  the waterfront
         Fmaj7        G                 C
Watching      for my baby to come down 
Fmaj7             C    
     And after a while
G              Fmaj7                      
 I saw a ship      coming down the ocean


[Verse]
G               
 Out of the fog
C            Fmaj7     
 Rolling so so so slow
G                         C        F   
 Must be must be my baby  coming down
C   G         Fmaj7      F
 I cover the waterfront 
             F   
And I saw my baby
                        C           Fmaj7
Coming down coming down the gangway     


[Chorus]
G                            C    
I said from the bottom of my heart
Fmaj7           G                   C                    Fmaj7
     Thank you  Lord for bringing my baby back home to me   
             G                 Am      Am7       Fmaj7    
I've been so lonely sitting in my room    by my telephone
G           C                
 Said baby welcome back home
Fmaj7                   C
     Welcome back home

 After a while     
F                    G              
 The ship pulled in  to the harbor
    C                 Fmaj7                     
And she'd run run run      to my arm to my arms


[Chorus]
C           G                      C           
Said Johnny  I've been waiting so long so long
Fmaj7             
     To come down
  C           G                       Am Fmaj7
I know I know  you'll be waiting for me me   
                  C         
Covering this old waterfront
         Fmaj7               
Covering      the waterfront
