Intro: 



verse 1 

A/G   A                  A/G       A 
One day as I was sailing on the Caribbean Sea 
    G                             A                 
I spied a little fishing vessel drifting aimlessly 
A/G  A                            A/G       A 
Her sails were torn and tattered, and her wheel was spinning free 
   G                                  A 
I told myself that little boat sure looks a lot like me 

A/G A 


verse 2 

A/G   A                      A/G     A 
As I pulled along beside her and I climbed upon her deck 
        G                               A 
In the silence I could feel the hair a-rising on my neck 
   A/G  A                            A/G     A 
And I thought as I walked through the empty quarters down below 
      G                             A 
That lost abandoned vessel was the sister of my soul 

A/G A 

D 'Cause like a ship without a rudder I'm just drifting with the tide A G A And each day I'm drawing closer to the brink D Just a speck upon the waters of an ocean deep and wide E A I won't even make a ripple when I sink
Interlude B B/A B verse 3 B/A B B/A B In the emptiness my footsteps were like echoes in a cave A B That seemed to say there ain't no way to leave this floating grave B/A B B/A B And when I scrambled to the deck my ship had vanished like a dream A B Leaving nothing but the lonely waves to hear my silent scream B/A A
E 'Cause like a ship without a rudder I'm just drifting with the tide B A B And each day I'm drawing closer to the brink E Just a speck upon the waters of an ocean deep and wide F# B I won't even make a ripple when I sink
B/A A (x3)
