  Am                           Am     G        Am
I saw three ships a-sailing in from across the sea
Am                                   Am   G Am
Strangers ne'er were welcome but for curiosity
    Am                Dm        G   Am    Em       G    | G |        
But come they did and when they did ready they did stand 
    Am                                    F       G      Am
And things would never be the same in our Village on the Sand...

Am                                   Am   G        Am
When the ships pulled in to dock the villagers did hide 
     Am                          Am        G      Am
When trouble came it usually was brought upon the tide 
Am               Dm       G  Am        Em     G     | G |
When the pirates disembarked they were making plans 
         Am                                      F       G      Am
And from then on things were not the same in our Village on the Sand...

    Am                               Am   G         Am
The smugglers came into our town and many sought to run 
  Am                               Am      G         Am
I stood my ground bravely and came face to face with one 
Am              Dm     G    Am        Em       G    | G | 
Time and travel on the seas weathered face and hand 
       Am                          F       G      Am
He was different than others in my Village on the Sand...

   Am                              Am     G      Am
He told me of the years he'd spent on the stormy seas 
    Am                           Am    G   Am
But Then he spoke a poet's words of philosophy
    Am             Dm      G      Am       Em     G    | G |
And when he had to leave again he asked me for my hand 
      Am                          F       G      Am
And I knew I'd never see again my Village on the Sand
