Key: D
Introduction:
Bm F# A7 Bm
Dead eye from the wood of life
Hold the ropes and the rigging lines
Bm F# A7 Bm
Shipwreck passing underneath
What of the sailor and her spinning wheel?
Bm F# A7 Bm
Red on the left, green on the right
You can see me coming in the morning light
Bm F# A7 Bm
Sextant here for the heavenly bodies
Compass here but the needle's shot
A7 Bm
Break the glass from your hanging lanterns
A7 Bm
Break the sea with your blackened anchors
F# A7
And you might end up a floating junk pile
F# Bm
But you can always scramble to salvage a smile
F# Bm
But you can always scramble to salvage a smile
