[Intro]
C   Gm7
 
[Verse]
  C
A small girl is holding a carpenter's hand
                                     F
Their eyes are looking down on the sand
           C
Down on the sand
 
[Verse]
C
Holding a pebble that she's found
                                               F
He shows her secrets in this jewel from the ground
                 C
This jewel in the ground
 
[Chorus]
G         Am      G          C
She sells shells upon the seashore
       G                C        G
Things slip through her hands so fast
    C            F          Bb
She won't find love anymore
                  C
Not find love any more
 
[Verse]
C
The winter's tales in Salem last
                                        F
The girl's a woman now, the childhood past
               C
The childhood's past
 
[Verse]
C
She sells her finds to those who'll buy
                            F
Lends a hand to those who try
            C
To those who try
 
[Chorus]
G         Am      G          C
She sells shells upon the seashore
       G                C        G
Things slip through her hands so fast
    C            F          Bb
She won't find love anymore
                  C      Gm7
Not find love any more
 
[Verse]
C
Winter's fury throws waves ashore
                                  F
An unchanged flow of an ancient law
            C
This ancient law
 
[Verse]
C
Black then gives way to liquid jaws
                                 F
Millions of years to settle a score
             C
They settle a score
 
[Chorus]
G         Am      G          C
She sells shells upon the seashore
       G                C        G
Things slip through her hands so fast
    C            F          Bb
She won't find love anymore
                  C
Not find love any more

[Bridge]
G
Walking to a spot she knows
G
Where the land has slipped again
G
A hammer held tight in her hand
G                       C
She works on in the rain...
 
[Instrumental]

[Verse]
  C
A lighthouse beam bleeds into the sea
                               F
She moves the earth so patiently
          C
So patiently
 
[Verse]
C
A landmark of history she will find
                                   F
Her father's face appears in her mind
               C
He comes to her mind
 
[Chorus]
G         Am      G          C
She sells shells upon the seashore
       G                C        G
Things slip through her hands so fast
    C            F          Bb
She won't find love anymore
                  C
Not find love any more
