AEm
Standing on the deck I watch my shadow stretch
GD
The sun pours my shadow upon the deck
AEm
The waters licking round my ankles now
GD
Well, there ain't no sun shine way way down
AEm
I see the sharks in the water like slicks of ink
GD
well, there's one there bigger than a submarine
AEm
and as he circles, I look in his eyes
GD
I see Jonah in his belly by the camp fire light
AEm
See the albatross up in the windy loft
GD
Gets to beating his wings while he sleeps it off
AEm
I hear the jettisoned cries from his dream unkind
GD
Get to whipping my ears like a riding crop
AEm
Well, the captain once as able as a fink dandy
GD
Is now laid up in the galley like a dried out mink
AEm
He's laying dying of thirst and he says or I think
GD
"We're gonna be alone from here on in"
Em
Well you're all my brothers
D
And you have been kind
EmD
But what were you expecting to find?
Em
Now your eyes turn inwards
Bm
And your countenance turns blank
C
And I'm floating away on a barrel of pain
E
It looks like nothing but the sea and sky remains...
AEm
Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah
GD
Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah
AEm
Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah
GD
Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah
AEm
A harpoon's shaft is short and wide
GD
A grappling hook is cracked and dry
AEm
I said, why don't you get down in the sea
GD
Turn the water red like you wanna be?
AEm
Cos if I cry another tear I'll be turned to dust
GD
The sharks won't get me, but they don't feel loss
AEm
Keep one eye on the horizon, man, you best not blink!
GD
They're coming fin by fin until the whole boat sinks!
AEm
Fin by fin
(Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah)
GD
Fin by fin by fin by fin
(Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah)
AEm
Fin by fin
(Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah)
GD
Fin by fin by fin by fin
(Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah)
