Key: G
Introduction:
A Em D/F#
Standing on the deck I watch my shadow stretch
G D
The sun pours my shadow upon that deck
A Em D/F#
The waters licking round my ankles now
G D
There ain't no sunshine way way down
A Em D/F#
I see the sharks are in the water like slicks of ink
G D
Well, there's one there bigger than a submarine
A Em D/F#
As he circles I look in his eye
G D
I see Jonah in his belly by the campfire light
A Em D/F#
Oh, an albatross up in the windy lofts
G D
He's beating his wings while he sleeps it off
A Em D/F#
I hear the jettisoned cries from his dreams unkind
G D
Yeah they're whippin' my ears like a riding crop
A Em D/F#
The captain once as able as a fink dandy
G D
He's now laid up in the galley like a dried out mink
A Em D/F#
He's laying dying of thirst and he says or I think
G D
Well, we're gonna be alone from here on in
Em D
Well you're all my brothers, and you have been kind
Em D
But what were you expecting to find?
G Bm
Now your eyes turn inwards, countenance turns blank
C
And I'm floating away on a barrel of pain
Bm
It looks like nothing but the sea and sky oh remain
A Em D/F#
I sing na na nana nananana na
G D
Na na nana nananana na
(Na na's X 4)
A Em D/F#
A harpoon's shaft is short and wide
G D
A grappling hook's is cracked and dry
A Em D/F#
I said, why don't you get down in the sea
G D
Turn the water red like you want to be?
A Em D/F#
Cause if I cry another tear I'll be turned to dust
G D
No the sharks won't get me they don't feel loss
A Em D/F#
Just keep one eye on the horizon man, you best not blink
G D
They're coming fin by fin until the whole boat sinks
A Em D/F#
Fin by fin
G D
Fin by fin
A Em D/F#
Fin by fin
G D
Fin by fin by fin by fin
A/D- Dchºrd
