[Verse 1]
D                   A
I nearly died, when you jumped in
    D                G      A         D
But you had to drown before you could swim
D                                      Bm         A
All the people on the beach, they were so impressed
          D
That they wanted to join you
             Bm         A
But no, they wouldn't undress
   D                G            A
Or let that wetness splash their skin
        D                                A
So they pray for a whirlpool to pull you in

[Chorus]
D      G  A   D   G A   D   G A D  G A
Ya Ho!     Ya Ho!    Ya Ho!

[Verse 2]
D                             G           A
So they looked away, and they tried to pretend
        D                      Bm         D
That it was for you, but no it wasn't for them
       D                   G      A
So the fear of sinking remains in place
         D                            Bm      A
But it's the fear of failure that's a real disgrace


[Chorus]
   D   G  A     D   G  A
Ya Ho! yo yo Ya Ho, yo yo
D
Let me be the one
G             A
Let me be the one
D
Let me be the one
G             A
Let me be the one


   D             G A
To get over your wall
   D             G A
To get over your wall

[Verse 3]
D                 A
Head in the sand, sea out of reach
D                 G     A
Swept away by the games of the beach
                 D   G       A
Those people sat and watched your stand
A
And the weight of their fears
D           A
Pulled them underground
     D                     G                A
Will anyone learn from the stories that are told
       D                        Bm       E
Of the tribe who drowned in the grave of gold

[Chorus]
   D   G  A     D   G  A
Ya Ho! yo yo Ya Ho, yo yo
D
Let me be the one
G             A
Let me be the one
D
Let me be the one
G             A
Let me be the one

[Outro]
       D                  G           A
Take a too long look with eyes bright wide
   D                     G       A
To face those fears from which I hide
   D   G
Ya Ho!

Ya ha ho Ya ha ho

I See your head’s down, someone’s calling
         D                     G

D                    A       G
Look up see what’s fit for your eyes
D                    G      D
