CAPO 5 

Verse 1
 
G        Em 
Coconut Grove  
     C         D 
Is a very small cove 
     G             Em 
Separated from the sea 
     C          D 
By a shifting shoal 
G         Em 
We didnt realize that 
C        D 
We had arrived 
G            Em 
At high tide, high tide 
C              D 
Barely made it out alive 

 
G                Em 
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh  
C               D 
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh 
G               Em 
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh 
C               D 
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh  

Verse 2
 
G        Em 
Red over white  
        C            D 
Fishermen working at night 
G        Em 
Not even once 
    C        D 
Did we see a light 
G         Em 
We didnt realize 
C                  D 
The forecast had been revised  
G            Em 
By moonless skies and 
C                D                       
Shifty wind that gusts and dies 

Bridge 
G          Em               C 
Ooh On the sand our keel is heaving 
D                           G 
But tonight weve got to be leaving 
            Em             C         D 
Travel through the day and into the evening 

G   Em   C   D 

 
G   Em       C              D 
Marathon how long weve been gone 
     G        Em      C      D 
And still not yet set foot upon you 

Outro 
Em               D 
Your low lying shore opens welcomingly  
Em                     D 
To one whos spent the night at sea 
G             Em          C         D 
Adrift in the shallows, a modest repose 
G          Em          C             D 
Adorn with coral, your bright colors show 
G       Em           C            D        G 
Ushered in through a bridge that is never closed     

Em   C   D   G
