 A5                                      E5                
Standing on the deck I watch my shadow stretch
     G5                          D5      
the sun pours my shadow upon the deck
     A5                             E5       
the waters licking round my ankles now
      G5                           D5   
there ain't no sun shine way way down

           A5                                 E5  
I see the sharks in the water like slicks of ink
             G5                             D5    
well, there's one there bigger than a submarine
       A5                    E5         
as he circles I look in his eyes
            G5                              D5     
I see Jonah in his belly by the camp fire light

         A5                           E5    
see the albatross up in the windy lofts
            G5                                   D5      
he gets to beating his wings while he sleeps it off
                   A5                         E5    
I hear the jettisoned cries from his dream unkind
        G5                              D5    
get to whippin' my ears like a riding crop

          A5                              E5    
Well, the captain once as able as a fink daddy
          G5                                     D5     
he's now laid up in the gallery like a dried out mink
             A5                             E5        
He's laying dying of thirst and he says or I think
       G5                         D5     
we're gonna be alone from here on in

         E5                  
well you are all my brothers
                  D5     
and you have been kind
         E5                     D5      
but what were you expecting to find?
         E5                         
now your eyes turn inwards
              B5       
countenance turns blank
           C5                               
and I'm floating away on a barrel of pain
                                           E5     
it looks like nothing but the sea and sky remain


=break= ( A5 , E5 , G5 , D5 x 4)

 A5                                       E5      
nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah
 G5                                      D5        
nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah (x4)


    A5                          E5    
A harpoon's shaft is short and wide
    G5                          D5    
a grappling hook's cracked and dry
          A5                           E5   
I said, why don't you get down in the sea
 G5                                 D5       
turn the water red like you want to be?

              A5                                  E5    
'Cause if I cry another tear I'll be turned to dust
    G5                                        D5     
the sharks won't get me but they don't feel loss
          A5                                    E5      
keep one eye on the horizon man, you best not blink
                G5                              D5      
they're coming fin by fin until the whole boat sinks
A5       E5
fin by fin
G5       D5
fin by fin
A5       E5
fin by fin
G5             D5
fin by fin by fin by fin
