Verse (Riff1: Bm  F#  A7  Bm)
Dead eye from the wood of life
Hold the ropes and the rigging lines
Red-eye a.m. Here I lie

Verse (Riff1: Bm  F#  A7  Bm)
Shipwreck passing underneath
What of the sailor and her spinning wheel?
What was she thinking being 
Swallowed by the water whole?

Verse (Riff1: Bm  F#  A7  Bm)
Red on the left, green on the right
You can see me coming in the morning light
Brass and glass and rusted iron

Verse (Riff1: Bm  F#  A7  Bm)
Sextant here for the heavenly bodies
Compass here but the needle's shot
Magnetic deviation screws me up

Modified Verse
A7 (x02020@1)                                  BmBreak (x24432@1)the glass from your hanging lanterns
A7 (x02020@1)                                  BmBreak (x24432@1)the sea with your blackened anchors
F# (244322@1)                                   A7And (x02020@1)you might end up a floating junk pile
F# (244322@1)                                     BmBut (x24432@1)you can always scramble to salvage a smile
F# (244322@1)                                       BmBut (x24432@1)you can always scramble to salvage a smile
