INTRO:  Em   G   A  (x 2)
Em            G         A
Watch out big ships are waiting
Em          G       A
Salt frozen on your cheek
Em             G     A
Saw a girl and boy arriving
Em            G          A
And a steamer put out to sea
CHORUS
G    A    Em
Tall tree stand in the distance
G A      Em            C
Remember when you were green
G     A    Em                 C
Don't wipe the salt from your skin
              D                      Em   G   A
You must keep running the distance
Sun sleeps on misty morning
Light years from channel 3
I feel halfway to zero
Em
Call me a hero I might just agree
CHORUS
Tall tree stand in the distance
Remember when you were green
Don't wipe the salt from your skin
              D                   F   G7   D
You must keep running the distance
