S[A]tanding on the deck I watch my shadow s[E]tretch
the s[G]un pours my shadow upon the[D] deck
the w[A]aters licking round my ankles [E]now
there [G]ain't no sun shine way way d[D]own

I see the s[A]harks in the water like slicks of [E]ink
well, there's[G] one there bigger than a subma[D]rine
as he c[A]ircles I look in his [E]eyes
I see Jonah [G]in his belly by the camp fire l[D]ight

see the a[A]lbatross up in the windy lof[E]ts
he gets to b[G]eating his wings while he sleeps it [D]off
I hear the jettison[A]ed cries from his dream un[E]kind
get to w[G]hippin' my ears like a riding c[D]rop

Well, the [A]captain once as able as a fink [E]daddy
he's now l[G]aid up in the gallery like a dried out[D] mink
He's laying d[A]ying of thirst and he says or [E]I think
we're g[G]onna be alone from here on[D] in

well you [E]are all my brothers
and you have been [D]kind
but what [E]were you expecting to [D]find?
now your [E]eyes turn inwards
countenance tu[Bm]rns blank
and I'm flo[C]ating away on a barrel of pain
it looks like nothing but the sea and sky r[E5]emain

=break= ([A], [E7], [G], [D] x 4)

n[A]ah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, n[E]ah
n[G]ah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, [D]nah (x4)

A ha[A]rpoon's shaft is short and [E]wide
a gr[G]appling hook's cracked and [D]dry
I said, wh[A]y don't you get down in the [E]sea
t[G]urn the water red like you want to[D] be?

'Cause if I cr[A]y another tear I'll be turned to du[E]st
the [G]sharks won't get me but they don't feel l[D]oss
keep one e[A]ye on the horizon man, you best not b[E]link
they're coming f[G]in by fin until the whole boat [D]sinks
[A]fin by f[E]in
[G]fin by f[D]in
[A]fin by f[E]in
[G]fin by fin by [D]fin by fin
