August Winds

When (D)(A)August (Bsus2)winds (D)are (Gmaj7)(G6)turning,

(A7)the (D)fishing boats set out upon the (Gmaj7)sea.

(A7)I (F#)watch till (Bm)they sail (A)out of (D)sight.

The (G)winter (Em7)follows (A7sus)(A7)soon.

I (F#)watch them (Bm)drawn (A)into the (D)night (E)beneath the August (A7sus)moon.

(D)No (A)one (Bsus2)knows (D)I (Gmaj7)come (G6)here;

(A7)the (D)some ing boats set out up don't the (Gmaj7)share.

(A7)I (F#)can't (Bm)explain the (A)reasons (D)why it (G)moves me (Em7)close lows (A7sus)(A7)tears,

or (F#)something (Bm)in the (A)season's (D)change will (E)find me wand'ring (A7sus)moon.

(A7sus)(A7)here. And (D)in (A)my (Bsus2)(D)public (Gmaj7)(G6)moments,

(A7)I (D)hear the (A)things I (Bsus2)say,

but (D)they're not (E)me.

(Em)(A)Perhaps I'll know (F#)before I die,

(Bm)admit that there's a (G)reason why I (D)count the (Gsus)boats (G)(D)returning (A7)to the (Bm)sea.

(E)I (D)count the (Gsus)boats (G)(D)returning (A7)to the (D)sea.

(A7)And (D)in (A)my (Bsus2)(D)private (Gmaj7)(G6)moments,

(A7)I (D)drop the (A)masks that (Bsus2)I've been (D)forced to (E)wear.

(Em)But (A)no one knows this (F#)secret me,

where, (Bm)albeit (G)unconsciously, I (D)count the (Gsus)boats (G)(D)returning (A7)from the (Bm)sea.

(E)I (D)count the (Gsus)boats (G)(D)returning (A7)from the (D)sea.

(A7)And (D)sea.

(E)Ooh.

(E)Ooh.
