Em D Sinner on the mainland Em D He's a sinner on the sea Em D/F# G He looks for absolution Am D Not accountability Em D How many destinations Em D Oh God he's seen them all G D/F# Em He collects his precious pittance Am D In every port of call C D Remittance Man G D/F# Em Blacksheep of the family clan Am D G C G Broke too many rules along the way C D Remittance Man Em D/F# E/G# So far away from home Am D No they'll never understand G C G The Remittance Man A man of empty pockets From jingling his change The idleness and grieving Are all that he retains By the harbour lights of Sydney Or the Bora Bora moon He recites his sad confession To the seagulls and the loons Remittance Man Blacksheep of the family clan Broke too many rules along the way Remittance Man So far away from home No they'll never understand The Remittance Man Bm Am Well you can claim that you were born a prince Bm Am But you're the only one you can convince F Survivor with no livelihood C That you could ever make it good D But still you dream of what you can pretend An unexpected passenger Boarded in Marseilles An angel full of tenderness She gave her heart away She was but a gypsy He was just a stray They almost made a miracle But it slowly slipped away So he follows the equator With a wish to run aground It's a very vicious circle Goin' round and round and round And he watches from the fantail As the mainland disappears Just like the Flying Dutchman He's a prisoner of his fears Remittance Man Blacksheep of the family clan Broke too many rules along the way Remittance Man So far away from home Am Bm C No they'll never understand Am Bm C No they'll never understand Am Bm C No they'll never understand Em D The Remittance Man
