Capo 2
Em Am Em
Once you were all sea-folk and you sailed upon the seas
Em Am B
You crossed the roaring ocean with the devil at your heels
Em Am Em
Your time has come again now, I'll tell you how this will unfold
Em Am B
I wanna see the western ocean painted black and gold
[Refrão]G D/F# Em
Welcome to the seaside
G D/F# Em
It's been occupied
G D/F# Em
Burrow to the bottom
Am B
And behold! -The mother lode
Em
Of black and gold
Em Am Em
Yes, once you were all sea-wolves, proudest on the western seas
Em Am B
These days you linger in the shade of taller trees
Em Am Em
But the devil has a weak spot for wounded and the poor
Em Am B
For the hungry and the crafty and the wicked and the small
[Refrão]G D/F# Em
Onward to the seaside
G D/F# Em
It's been occupied
G D/F# Em
Burrow to the bottom
Am B
And behold! -The mother lode
Em
Of black and gold
Em Am Em
Keep that fire burning, keep a keen eye on the count
Em Am B
The bounty of the ocean, astronomical amounts!
Em Am Em
You all know where it's coming from, you all know where it's going
Em Am B
Yes, in the end I always had a cut of every coin
[Refrão]G D/F# Em
Welcome to the seaside
G D/F# Em
It's been occupied

Burrow to the bottom
Am B
And behold! -The mother lode
Em
Of black and gold

You enjoy the seaside now
G D/F# Em
Blindly occupied
G D/F# Em
Burrow to the bottom
