Band: The Drones
Song: Shark Fin Blues
Album: Wait Long by the River and the Bodies of Your Enemies Will Float by
Tabber: Andrew Biles

At the bottom of the page I have written out an idea of what the rhythm
guitar does during this song.  The timing and voicings in the tab are not 
perfect so you will have to experiment a bit, but it's a decent basis.

The intro appears to be based around the chords I've tabbed out but, again,
you'll probably need to try a few hammer-ons and occasionally adjust your 
finger positions.
The outro is also picked around the chords provided.

Be sure to have a good distortion pedal at the ready and your whammy bar
attached.  It does sound great on acoustic too, though.

Standard tuning: E, A, D, G, B, e

Standing on the deck I watch my shadow stretch
     G (320003@1)                        D (xx0232@1)    
the sun pours my shadow upon the deck
     A (x02220@1)                           E (022100@1)     
the waters licking round my ankles now
      G (320003@1)                         D (xx0232@1) 
there ain't no sun shine way way down

A (x02220@1)                               E (022100@1)

             G (320003@1)                           D (xx0232@1)  
well, there's one there bigger than a submarine
       A (x02220@1)                  E (022100@1)       
as he circles I look in his eyes
            G (320003@1)                            D (xx0232@1)   
I see Jonah in his belly by the camp fire light

A (x02220@1)                         E (022100@1)  
see the albatross up in the windy lofts

he gets to beating his wings while he sleeps it off
                   A (x02220@1)                       E (022100@1)  
I hear the jettisoned cries from his dream unkind
        G (320003@1)                            D (xx0232@1)

A (x02220@1)                            E (022100@1)  
Well, the captain once as able as a fink daddy
          G (320003@1)                                   D (xx0232@1)   
he's now laid up in the gallery like a dried out mink
             A (x02220@1)                           E (022100@1)      
He's laying dying of thirst and he says or I think
       G (320003@1)                       D (xx0232@1)   
we're gonna be alone from here on in

E (022100@1)                
well you are all my brothers
                  D (xx0232@1)   
and you have been kind
         E (022100@1)                   D (xx0232@1)    
but what were you expecting to find?
         E (022100@1)

              Bm (x24432@1)     
countenance turns blank
           C (x32010@1)                             
and I'm floating away on a barrel of pain
                                           E5 (022xxx@1)   
it looks like nothing but the sea and sky remain
