This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.
Chorus
Am Dm
Shadows falling at the harbour
G C
Women stant around
Am Dm
Weather storms another way
G Em Am D C D
For man the sea had drowned
Hulls were creaking crashing sails
Rains were slanting down
The oilskins flapping, decks awash
Slanting turning round
Thunder roaring at the harbour
Women drawn in fear
Huddle up to wait the time
And pray the sky well clear
Howling winds and the raging waves
Cracked upon the boats
And torn from safety, torn from life
Men with little hope
Ghostly echoes at the harbour
Whispering of death
Women weeping holding hands
Of those they still have left
Chorus
Shadows falling at the harbour
Women stant around
Weather storms another way
For man the sea had drowned

you want.

Out at daybreak to the sun

Seas are drifting glass
Em A6/9
The tides were turning to the storm
G Asus2
Winds were moving fast
C D
Women waiting at the harbour
G B
Silent stand around
C D
Weather storms another day
G B
For men the sea has found
Fisherman were laying nets
The barrels spread the bait
The seagulls warning echoed round
Winds that wouldn't wait
People gathered at the harbour
Waiting for the tide
Eyes half closed against the spray
And tears they cannot hide

For man the sea had drowned
Hulls were creaking crashing sails

The oilskins flapping, decks awash
Slanting turning round
Thunder roaring at the harbour
Women drawn in fear
Huddle up to wait the time
And pray the sky well clear
Howling winds and the raging waves
Cracked upon the boats
And torn from safety, torn from life
Men with little hope
Ghostly echoes at the harbour
Whispering of death
Women weeping holding hands
Of those they still have left
Chorus
Shadows falling at the harbour
Women stant around
Weather storms another way
For man the sea had drowned
