VERSE 1
Ab Bm C# Ab
Will you love me like a sailor
Bm C# Ab
who loves the seven seas?
Bm C# Ab
And when my bones get older,
Bm C# Ab
will you drag me to my knees?
Bm C# Ab
Like a drunken pirate shipwreck
Bm C# Ab
on the golden caskets worn,
Bm C# Ab
It's the time when we're together.
Bm C# Ab
It's the time that keeps me young.
The Rhythm guitar just plays Ab B C# through the chorus,
but the lead plays the following riff (either barre or power chords):
Ab-Ab-Ab-F#-Ab-B-Ab-F#-Ab-F#-Ab-F#
Ab-Ab-Ab-F#-Ab-B-B-C#-Eb-C#-Eb-C#
CHORUS
Ab B C# Ab
The burning size
B C# Ab
of sirens lies.
B C# Ab
The burning size
B C# Ab
of sirens lies.
[w/ Ab - F# - Fm]
Show me
Show me
Show me
VERSE 2
Ab Bm C# Ab
When you go by the ocean,
Bm C# Ab
will you look to the sea?
Bm C# Ab
Always keep an eye for my coffin
Bm C# Ab
and the birds that set me free?
[Repeat Chorus riff from above]
The burning size of sirens lies.
At least we tried to make it.
At least we tried to make it.
At least we tried to make it.
At least we tried
