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

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

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

          A                              E 
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                             E 
He's laying dying of thirst and he says or I think 
       G                         D 
'We're gonna be alone from here on in' 

         E 
Well you're all my brothers 
                  D 
And you have been kind 
         E                     D 
But what were you expecting to find? 
         E 
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                                       E 
Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah

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

              A                                  E 
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                                    E 
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                                       E 
Fin by fin
