Next time out to sea Bring enough soil to bury me
Cm Bb D Gm
For I don't want my final jig In the belly of a squid
Gm D Gm D
Take my trousers take my shirt Just give me that sweet dirt
Cm Bb D Gm
For the water's cold and grim And I never learned to swim
Gm D Gm D
No her love never set me free so I set off for the ocean
Cm Bb D Gm
Now in my dreams she comes to me whispering of peace

But I've known since the day that we sailed for Santiago
Cm Bb D Gm
her dry embrace would kiss my face No never, No more

The sea is a cruel mistress
Gm Cm Bb D
The sea is a cruel mistress
Gm D Gm D
Many moons to the day That I threw her love away
Cm Bb D Gm
Now every whale spouts "go to hell" As the wind laughs in my face
Gm D Gm D
I've grown harder on the eyes And salty to the taste
Cm Bb D Gm
My pride has gone with the wake As I wait a cold wet grave
Gm D Gm D
I rose to the smell Of a wet desert hell
Cm Bb D Gm
And I thought to myself How'd I wind up in this jail
Gm D Gm D
Till a voice called to me From deep within the sea
Cm Bb D Gm
Dry your eyes my dear fisherman Your ass belongs to me
Gm Cm D
The sea is a cruel mistress

Lord I know, Lord I know

But I'll see you when I get home
Cm A D
From the cold, yeah from the cold
N.C.
