Verse 1
A Em7
Standing on the deck I watch my shadow stretch
G5 D
The sun pours my shadow upon the deck
A Em7
The waters licking round my ankles now
G5 D
There ain't no sun shine way way down
Verse 2
A Em7
I see the sharks in the water like slicks of ink
G5 D
Well, there's one there bigger than a submarine
A Em7
As he circles I look in his eyes
G5 D
I see Jonah in his belly by the camp fire light
Chorus
A Em7
Lord albatross up in the windy lofts,
G5/F# G5 D
Yeah he's beating his wings while he sleeps it off
A Em7
I hear the jettisoned cries from his dream unkind,
G5/F# G5 D
Yeah there whippin' my ears like a riding crop
A Em7
Well, the captain once as able as a fink daddy
G5/F# G5 D
He's now laid up in the gallery like a dried out mink
A Em7
He's laying dying of thirst and he says or I think
G5/F# G5 D
We're gonna be alone from here on in
Em7
Well you're all my brothers
D
And you have been kind
Em7 D
But what were you expecting to find?
G5
Now your eyes turn inward
Bm
Countenance turned blank
C
And I'm floating away on a barrel of pain
B5
It looks like nothing but the sea and sky remain
Solo

Chorus
A Em7
A harpoon's shaft is short and wide
G5/F# G D
Yea grappling hook's cracked and dry
A Em7
I said, why don't you get down in the sea
G5/F# G D
Oh turn the water red like you want to be?
A Em7
'Cause if I cry another tear I'll be turned to dust
G5/F# G D
No the sharks won't get me but they don't feel loss
A Em7
Keep one eye on the horizon man, you best not blink
G5/F# G D
They're coming fin by fin until the whole boat sinks
