VERSE:
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.


VERSE:
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.
