 A                                      E                
Standing on the deck I watch my shadow stretch
     G                          D      
the sun pours my shadow upon the deck
     A                             E       
the waters licking round my ankles now
      G                           D   
there ain't no sun shine way way down

           A                                 E  
I see the sharks in the water like slicks of ink
             G                             D    
well, there's one there bigger than a submarine
       A                    E         
as he circles I look in his eyes
            G                              D     
I see Jonah in his belly by the camp fire light

         A                           E    
see the albatross up in the windy lofts
            G                                   D      
he gets to beating his wings while he sleeps it off
                   A                         E    
I hear the jettisoned cries from his dream unkind
        G                              D    
get to whippin' my ears like a riding crop

          A                              E    
Well, the captain once as able as a fink daddy
          G                                     D     
he's now laid up in the gallery like a dried out mink
             A                             E        
He's laying dying of thirst and he says or I think
       G                         D     
we're gonna be alone from here on in

         E                  
well you are all my brothers
                  D     
and you have been kind
         E                     D      
but what were you expecting to find?
         E                         
now your eyes turn inwards
              Bm       
countenance turns blank
           C                               
and I'm floating away on a barrel of pain
                                           E5     
it looks like nothing but the sea and sky remain


=break= ( A , E7 , G , D x 4)

 A                                       E      
nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah
 G                                      D        
nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah (x4)


    A                          E    
A harpoon's shaft is short and wide
    G                          D    
a grappling hook's cracked and dry
          A                           E   
I said, why don't you get down in the sea
 G                                 D       
turn the water red like you want to be?

              A                                  E    
'Cause if I cry another tear I'll be turned to dust
    G                                        D     
the sharks won't get me but they don't feel loss
          A                                    E      
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       E
fin by fin
G       D
fin by fin
A       E
fin by fin
G             D
fin by fin by fin by fin
