Am Riff 1X

Am                         Em
Curse at your captain, and stow me below.
F                          C
Hold me amongst all your cards.
Am                       Em
Oh we were sea bound, and aimless at best.
F                                  C
Clutching to the wheel, and those charts.
G                                   Am  Am Riff
But that sea is just a gambler at heart.

Am                   Em                  
Oh there we were, and the sun hit the starboard.
F                          C
And we were as free as we could be.
Am                     Em
We waited for land. Oh we waited for the
F                       C
We aimed to stay calm and cool.
G                             Am Am Riff
And that sea is just a gambling fool.


F               C
Come to me Mary come.
Am                     Em
You know you once were Queen.
F         C          Bm       Am
The ocean is, holding all the Kings.
F     C         Bm    Am Am Riff
Tossed aside the weary.

F                                      C
How I'd love to steer you straight into the water.
Am                                    Em
While those daunting clouds above begin to pour.
F            C                    Bm      Am
And when were found, Ah we'll kiss that ground.
F         C          Bm      Am
And roll around on that lovers' floor.

F                C
Come to me Mary come.
Am                     Em
You know you once were Queen.
F         C           Bm       Am
The ocean is, holding all the Kings.
F      C         Bm  Am
Tossed aside the weary.
F          C        Bm    Am
The ocean is, holding everything.
F      C         Bm  Am  Am Riff
Tossed aside the weary.
F       C        Bm       Am
Oh that dreadful gambling sea.
