NOTES: Standard Tuning
       Strumming pattern for verse/chorus = D DUDU (This is about all I could
       come up with. It doesn't sound too bad though. If anyone uses other 
       strum patterns, please share them.)
         - 3 down strokes for every D/F#
         - G (x2), Cadd9 (x1), G (x2)
       Strumming pattern for bridge = all down strokes


G            Cadd9       G      D/F#        
I believe submarines
G            Cadd9       G      D/F#
Underneath deep blue seas
G            Cadd9       G      D/F#
Saw the flags: Japanese
G            Cadd9       G      D/F#
No one will believe me

Em7                    Dsus4 
Ran back to the town bar and
G
I told the people how
Em7            Dsus4      C
I had seen the submarine and
Cdim5     C     Fmaj7
Everyone laughed aloud 

G    Cadd9     G      D/F#
G    Cadd9     G      D/F#  

G            Cadd9       G      D/F#  
I did spy periscopes
G            Cadd9       G      D/F#  
Dead of night on the eastern coast
G            Cadd9       G      D/F#  
The police made them jokes
G            Cadd9       G      D/F#  
Told me I'd seen a ghost

Em7                  Dsus4   G
Everyone thinks I'm a liar  No one knows the truth
Em7               Dsus4 C  Cdim5    C  Fmaj7
If it was a bigger fire I would be on the roof

G            Cadd9       Em7   D/F#  
G            Cadd9       Em7   D/F#

G            Cadd9       Em7   D/F#  
Ships will rust in Baldwin Bay (Let me go!)
G            Cadd9       Em7   D/F#  
No one trusts what I say (I don't know!)
G            Cadd9       Em7   D/F#  
Oh my God, no one paid  (Attention!)
G            Cadd9       Em7   D/F#  
Overnight my hair turned gray  (Oh oh oh!)

Em7                 Dsus4   G
In the end it boils down to credibility
Em7                  Dsus4  C       Cdim5   C   Fmaj7
I had none, so I will die   with the secrets of the sea

G    C        Em7    D/F#  
                  (Submarine!)
G    Cadd9    Em7    D/F#   
                  (Japanese!)
G    Cadd9    G    D/F#   
                   Submarine...
G    Cadd9    G    D/F#   
                  (Submarine!)

I tried making this as accurate as possible by watching some live videos on
youtube and figuring out the chords.  I also reviewed some of the previous
tabs on this song, so give a lot of credit to suprashaps and satir3. Let me
know what you think about it.
