Stay, oh oh oh stay (x2)
Am                      C
Solomon dives for that big dusky pearl
Am                 C                     F
Solomon sighs, he knows he's older than me
                  Am
Sleeps with the fishes soon
C                  F
Stay (stay), oh oh oh stay (x2)
Am                      C
Solomon crawls on the belly of God
Am                    C 
Solomon falls on his face in love with me.
                        F
He grows as old as the sea
                 Am
Deep where the fishes are.

Stay, oh oh oh stay (x4)

He lives in the yard, he keeps himself hard
                                             C
He keeps himself homeless and heartless and hard
                                         F
He sleeps on the stairs along with the heirs
                                         C
Of nothing and nothing means no one who cares
                G       C           Am
But I love him dear and I love him dear
                                               C
And I've loved him hundreads of thousands of years.
C                               F
Stay. Stay (stay with me) oh oh oh stay.
C                               F
Stay. Stay (stay with me) oh oh oh stay.
C                       Am
It's not time for me to go. (x3)
C
Stay.
