Verse:

                 
Don't go out in the night

                 
Even though you know the town

                 
someone always wants to fight

                 
You end up lying on the ground




                         
I dream of lying in the sun

                   
In my ears hear the ocean roaring

                        
Like all good wayfaring sons

                           
Travel home and the rain is pouring


Soaks me to the skin, I duck into this public house and get shattered by the din.

And back to the intro/verse chords.
