Am C I am a simple man 
 G Dm I learned to work with my hands out here on these waves
 Am Sha, la, la, la, la, la C 
I guess I've always known G Dm 
I would die alone here one cold November day
 Am Sha, la, la, la, la, la

 C I heard that you did take
 G Dm My brother in the morning another without warning
 Am Sha, la, la, la, la, la
 C G Dm And who am I to think that I'd be any different as God as my witness

 Am C I saw Davy Jones underneath the water
 G Am C Dm With a thousand of my fathers calling me home
 G F C ?Am And I saw Davy Jones wavin' his black flag countin' up his bones 

 C They say when I was five
 G Dm The day I cast my first line I fell over the port side
 Am Sha, la, la, la, la, la
 C As I was sinkin' down G Dm 
I heard my mama singing, I heard the church bells ringing
 Am Sha, la, la, la, la, la
 C G But when they pulled me in I felt him tuggin' my hand 

 Am C I saw Davy Jones underneath the water
 G Am C Dm With a thousand of my fathers calling me home
 G F C ?Am And I saw Davy Jones wavin' his black flag countin' up his bones C Now the waves have snapped the mast
 G Dm ?Am I'm takin' water so fast I let go of the lines
 C G And I could feel my father's stare from beyond the grave somewhere 
 Dm ?Am As I fail him one last time

' C G Cause I would never be the man he thought I should be
 Dm ?Am The lesser of his sons
 C G So Jesus help me now, help me to forgive him Dm
 Before the darkness floods in

 Am C I saw Davy Jones underneath the water
 G Am C Dm With a thousand of my fathers calling me home
 G F C And I saw Davy Jones wavin' his black flag countin' up his bones
