I'm an exuberant fan of this song. Possibly the only one! Here's how I remember it (please pardon the half-remembered lyrics and oversimplified chord constructs.)

 

intro

 

G Dm F

 

verse 1

C Am G C

Who can guess the secret of the sea

Am C Fm Am C

Who can guess the secret of the sea

G F

You can guess the secret of my love for you

Am F C F C

Then we both could know the secret of the sea

 

verse 2

F Em Dm C

Tell me could you ever tell the secret of the sea

F Em G

These high rolling waves along the shore

C Em F C

The footprints of the lovers that come here to love

C Dm F G

By the tides washed away for-ever more

 

Repeat first verse again

 

then there's the slide guitar break

 

F - Em - Dm - G - F - Em - G

 

F Em Dm C

You claim to know the secret of a kiss and a hug

F Em G

The secret of the grass and of the trees

C Em F C

And you can tell the secret of a warm friend's hand

C Dm F G C

Then we all would feel the secret of the sea

 

solo 2

play chords from verse 1

 

repeat verse 1

 

C Am/D(?) Dm F C

We both could know the secret of the sea
