Shiver Me Timbers Chords

(ver. 3)
Tom Waits
INTRO:

G    C    G    Em7
G    A7   Am   D7


G              C     G               Em7
I'm leaving my family leaving all my friends
G            A7           Am            D7
My body's at home but my hearts in the wind
          G              C               G             Em7 
Where the clouds are like headlines on a new front page sky
   G             A7             Am        D7   G
My tears are salt water and the moons full and high

G                 C           G           Em7
And I know Martin Eden's gonna be proud of me
G           A7           Am           D7
Many before me have been drawn by the sea
     G                C    G          Em7 
To be up in the crow's nest singing my say
G         A7             Am     D7  G
Shiver me Timbers as I'm sailing away


CHORUS:

         Em                    B7  
 Now the fog's lifting and the sand's shifting
 G               A7
 I'm drifting on out
                                D7sus4     D7
 Old captain Ahab he ain't got nothing on me
    Em           B7
 So swallow me , follow me
 G               A7
 I'm travelling alone
                                   D7sus4      D7
 Blue waters my daughter I'm gonna skip like a stone

  G              C      G               Em7
So please call my misses tell her not to cry
G                  A7             Am          D7
Cause my goodbye is written by the moon in the sky
G      C                G         Em7
Nobody knows me I can't fathom my stayin'
G         A7             Am     D7  G
Shiver me timbers as I'm sailing away

(CHORUS)

G              C     G               Em7
I'm leaving my family leaving all my friends
G            A7           Am            D7
My body's at home but my hearts in the wind
          G              C               G             Em7
Where the clouds are like headlines on a new front page sky
G         A7             Am     D7   G
Shiver me timbers as I'm sailing away
