Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

 Standing on the deck I watch my shadow stretch

 the sun pours my shadow upon the deck

 the waters licking round my ankles now

 there ain't no sun shine way way down

 I see the sharks in the water like slicks of ink

 well, there's one there bigger than a submarine

 as he circles I look in his eyes

 I see Jonah in his belly by the camp fire light

 see the albatross up in the windy lofts

 he gets to beating his wings while he sleeps it off

 I hear the jettisoned cries from his dream unkind

 get to whippin' my ears like a riding crop

 Well, the captain once as able as a fink daddy

 he's now laid up in the gallery like a dried out mink

 He's laying dying of thirst and he says or I think

 we're gonna be alone from here on in

 well you are all my brothers

 and you have been kind

 but what were you expecting to find?

 now your eyes turn inwards

 countenance turns blank

 and I'm floating away on a barrel of pain

 it looks like nothing but the sea and sky remain

 =break= (, , , x 4)

 nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah

 nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah (x4)

 A harpoon's shaft is short and wide

 a grappling hook's cracked and dry

 I said, why don't you get down in the sea

 turn the water red like you want to be?

 'Cause if I cry another tear I'll be turned to dust

 the sharks won't get me but they don't feel loss

 keep one eye on the horizon man, you best not blink

 they're coming fin by fin until the whole boat sinks

fin by fin

fin by fin

fin by fin

fin by fin by fin by fin
