Walt Graces Submarine Test January 1967 Chords

Capo 4th fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

D G/B

DWalt Grace, desperately hating his Emwhole place

 Dreamed to discover a Bmnew space

 And buried himself aGlive

 Inside his Dbasement, tongue on the side of his Emface meant

 He's working away on disBmplacement

 AndBm/A what it would take to surGvive

Em 'Cause when you're Em/Bdone with this Aworld

Em You know the next Em/Bis up to you A

 And his Dwife told his Gkids he was Acrazy

 And his Dfriends said he'd Gfail if he Atried

 But with a Dwill to work Ghard

 And a Bmlibrary Ecard

 He took a Ghomemade, fan-blade, Aone-man submarine Dride

That morning the sea was mad and I mean it

Waves as big as he'd seen it deep in his dreams at home

From dry land, he rolled it over to wet sand

Closed the hatch up with one hand

And pedaled off alone

'Cause when you're done with this world

You know the next is up to you

And for once in his life, it was quiet

As he learned how to turn in the tide

And the sky was aflare when he came up for air

In his homemade, fan blade, one-man submarine ride

One evening, when weeks had passed since his leaving

The call she planned on receiving finally made it home

She accepted the news she never expected

The operator connected the call from Tokyo

'Cause when you're done with this world

You know the next is up to you

Now his friends bring him up when they're drinking

At the bar with his name on the side

And they smile when they can, as they speak of the man

Who took a homemade, fan blade, one-man submarine ride
