A                                      Em
Standing on the deck I watch my shadow stretch
     G                          D
The sun pours my shadow upon the deck
     A                             Em
The waters licking round my ankles now
      G                           D
Well, there ain't no sun shine way way down

 A                                         Em
I see the sharks in the water like slicks of ink
G                                     D
well, there's one there bigger than a submarine
       A                    Em
and as he circles, I look in his eyes
            G                              D
I see Jonah in his belly by the camp fire light

         A                           Em
See the albatross up in the windy loft
            G                                   D
Gets to beating his wings while he sleeps it off
                   A                         Em
I hear the jettisoned cries from his dream unkind
        G                              D
Get to whipping my ears like a riding crop

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

         Em
Well you're all my brothers
                  D
And you have been kind
         Em                     D
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...


 A                                       Em

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

              A                                  Em
Cos if I cry another tear I'll be turned to dust
    G                                        D
The sharks won't get me, but they don't feel loss
          A                                    Em
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
