Bm / D 
 
A                              Em      D/F# 
Standing on the deck I watch my shadow stretch 
G                        D 
The sun pours my shadow upon that deck  
A                              Em  D/F# 
The waters licking round my ankles now  
G                        D 
There ain't no sunshine way way down  
 

A                              Em      D/F# 
I see the sharks are in the water like slicks of ink  
G                        D 
Well, there's one there bigger than a submarine  
A                  Em  D/F# 
As he circles I look in his eye  
G                        D             
I see Jonah in his belly by the campfire light  
 

D 
 
A                              Em      D/F# 
Oh, an albatross up in the windy lofts  
G                        D 
He's beating his wings while he sleeps it off  
A                              Em  D/F# 
I hear the jettisoned cries from his dreams unkind  
G                        D 
Yeah they're whippin' my ears like a riding crop  
 

A                              Em      D/F# 
The captain once as able as a fink dandy  
G                        D 
He's now laid up in the galley like a dried out mink  
A                              Em  D/F# 
He's laying dying of thirst and he says or I think  
G                        D 
Well, we're gonna be alone from here on in  
 

Em                                    D 
Well you're all my brothers, and you have been kind  
Em                        D 
But what were you expecting to find? 
G                                    Bm 
Now your eyes turn inwards, countenance turns blank  
C 
And I'm floating away on a barrel of pain  
                                    Bm 
It looks like nothing but the sea and sky oh remain

A                  Em      D/F# 
I sing na na nana nananana na

Na na nana nananana na

D 
 
A                              Em      D/F# 
A harpoon's shaft is short and wide  
G                        D 
A grappling hook's is cracked and dry  
A                              Em  D/F# 
I said, why don't you get down in the sea  
G                        D 
Turn the water red like you want to be?  
 

A                              Em      D/F# 
Cause if I cry another tear I'll be turned to dust  
G                        D 
No the sharks won't get me they don't feel loss  
A                              Em  D/F# 
Just keep one eye on the horizon man, you best not blink  
G                        D 
They're coming fin by fin until the whole boat sinks  
 

A        Em      D/F#   
Fin by fin  
G       D 
Fin by fin  
A        Em      D/F#   
Fin by fin 
G             D  
Fin by fin by fin by fin
