(I usually play it on the 7th fret.)

Em                            D
Creeping up the blind side, shinning up the wall
D                          Em
stealing thru the dark of night
Em                        D
Climbing thru a window, stepping to the floor
D                            Em
checking to the left and the right
Em                      D
Picking up the pieces, putting them away
D                             C         Am
something doesn't feel quite right

Em                  C   Am     Em
Help me someone, let me out of here
      C         Am        D        Bm
then out of the dark was suddenly heard
C              Am          Em
welcome to the Home by the Sea

Em                       D
Coming out the woodwork, thru the open door
D                      Em
pushing from above and below
Em                         D
shadows without substance, in the shape of men
D                           Em
round and down and sideways they go
Em                         D
adrift without direction, eyes that hold despair
D                 C      Am
then as one they sign and they moan

Em      C   Am     Em
Help us someone, let us out of here
C    Am            D
living here so long undisturbed
Em                 D
dreaming of the time we were free
D
so many years ago
C       Am             D Bm
before the time when we first heard
C     Am       Em
welcome to the Home by the Sea

Em  G        Bm   D
    Sit down Sit down
   C           G                Bm        D
as we relive out lives in what we tell you

Em                           D
Images of sorrow, pictures of delight
D                          Em
things that go to make up a life
Em                        D
endless days of summer longer nights of gloom
D                            Em
waiting for the morning light
Em                      D
scenes of unimportance like photos in a frame
D                  C    Am
things that go to make up a life

Em      C   Am     Em
Help us someone, let us out of here
C    Am            D
living here so long undisturbed
Em                 D
dreaming of the time we were free
D
so many years ago
C       Am             D Bm
before the time when we first heard
C     Am       Em
welcome to the Home by the Sea

Sit down Sit down

as we relive out lives in what we tell you

let us relive out lives in what we tell you

Sit down sit down
Em
cos you won't get away
G
so with us you will stay
Bm                             D
for the rest of your days. So sit down
