Transpose -7 steps with buttons on the left for original key, (or leave like this 
to sing with baritones!). (I had to shift 7.3 to match original). Ask if you want 
chord fingering help.

Intro: E-5  Am-C Gm-B Fm-G# E

   Am     -      C                Gm    -   B
By Silverfish Imperetrix whose incorrupted eye
 Fm         -      G#               E
Sees through the charms of doctors and their wives
    Am    -      C             Gm       -       B     Fm     -      G#      E
By Salamander, Drake, and the power that was undine, rise to claim Saturn, ring and sky
 F    -       G    -    D              C       -       D   -  A
By those who see with their eyes closed, they know me by my black telescope

Am      -    C               Gm        -          B   Fm      -    G#        E
Your green tree mantle from which these things derive, a lens of quartz and refract spoke
Am      -     C          Gm   -  B    Fm    -    G#           E
That crystal lens whose crystal rope, once bound me to those doctors and wives
F    -   G    -    D            C    -   D      -     A
When my vision was oh, so cloudy, and I saw things through two eyes

Am  -   F       -     G  -   D         Am    -     F = G - Am
I am a sailor on the raging depths, and I know a thing or two
 Am     -    F       -       G    -    D   Am       -       F   =   G - Am
Back to the corner mates and over the side, yes, I know a thing or two

Solo: ( B C ) x4  D E   Am-C Gm-B Fm-G# E

   Am     -      C                Gm    -   B
By Silverfish Imperetrix whose incorrupted eye
 Fm         -      G#               E
Sees through the charms of doctors and their wives
    Am    -      C             Gm       -       B     Fm     -      G#      E
By Salamander, Drake, and the power that was undine, rise to claim Saturn, ring and sky
 F    -       G    -    D              C       -         D   -  A
By those who see with their eyes closed, you'll know me by my black telescope

  Am       -        F       -        G    -     D    Am  - F = G - Am
Before my great conversion when the ridge was closed
  Am     -      F       -       G    -   D      Am - F = G - Am
Before my visit to the workshop of telescopes

Solo: ( B C ) x4  D E

   Am     -      C                Gm    -   B
By Silverfish Imperetrix whose incorrupted eye
 Fm         -      G#               E
Sees through the charms of doctors and their wives
    Am    -      C             Gm       -       B     Fm     -      G#      E
By Salamander, Drake, and the power that was undine, rise to claim Saturn, ring and sky
    Am  -     C         Gm   -     B     Fm      -      G#  E-5 A
By those who see with their eyes closed, you'll know me by
