Gb Bmaj7 Gb Bmaj7
Gb Bmaj7
Ebm Ab7sus2 We sent out the GbS.O.S. Bmaj7call
[Verse 1]
It was a Gbquarter past Bmaj7four in the Gbmorning
When the Bmaj7storm broke our Ebmsecond anchor line Ab7sus2
Gb Four months at Bmaj7sea
Four Gbmonths of calm seas Bmaj7
To be pounGbded in the Bmaj7shallows off the Ebmtip of MontaukAb7sus2 Point
Gb They call 'em rogues,Bmaj7 they travel Gbfast and alone Bmaj7
One Gbhundred foot faBmaj7ces of God's good Ebmocean gone Ab7sus2wrong
What they callGb love is a risk Bmaj7
Cause you will Gbalways get Bmaj7hit
Out of nowGbhere by some Bmaj7wave
And end Ebmup on your own Ab7sus2
[Chorus]
B The hole in the hullGb defied the crewâs attempts
Ebm To bail us out Ab7sus2
B And flooded the Gbengines and radio
Ebm And half buried bow Ab7sus2
[Interlude]
Gb Bmaj7 Gb Bmaj7 Gb Bmaj7 Ebm Ab7sus2
[Verse 2]
Your Gbtongue is a rudBmaj7der
It Gbsteers the whole Bmaj7ship
Sends your Gbwords past your lips Bmaj7
Keeps them Ebmsafe behind yourAb7sus2 teeth
But the Gbwrong words will strandBmaj7 you
Come off Gbcourse while you sleep Bmaj7
Sweep your Gbboat out to sea Bmaj7
Or dashed to Ebmbits on the reef Ab7sus2
Gb The vessel groans Bmaj7
The ocean Gbpressures its frame Bmaj7
To the Gbport I see the Bmaj7lighthouse
Through the Ebmsleet and the rain Ab7sus2
And I wish forGb one more dayBmaj7 to give my
GbLove and repay Bmaj7debts
But the Gbmorning finds our Bmaj7bodies washed up Ebm30 miles west Ab7sus2
[Chorus]
B They say that the capGbtain stays fast with the ship Ebm
Through still and storm Ab7sus2
B But this ain't the DakoGbta
And the water's cold
Ebm Won't have to fight for long Ab7sus2
[Outro]
Gb This story's old but it goes on and on
Until we disappear Bmaj7
Calm me and let me taste the salt you breathed
While you were underneath Gb
I am the one who haunts your dreams of mountains
Sunk below the sea Bmaj7
I spoke the words but never gave a thought
To what they all could mean Ebm
I know that this is what you want
A funeral keeps both of us apart Bmaj7
You know that you are not alone
I need you like water in my lungs
Gb This story's old but it goes on and on
Until we disappear Bmaj7
Calm me and let me taste the salt you breathed
While you were underneath Gb
I am the one who haunts your dreams of mountains
Sunk below the sea Bmaj7
I spoke the words but never gave a thought
To what they all could mean Ebm
I know that this is what you want
A funeral keeps both of us apart Bmaj7
You know that you are not alone
I need you like water in my lungs Gb
