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.
