We gotta go to sea today
C D
Mouths to feed and bills to pay

The wind is fresh up from the south

Radio says there's more about

In the blink of an eye it's at gale force

Hold your head and hold your course

When the fish all swam away
C D
My father worked in China clay
G Em D
He hated every single day
Em
If I'd worked harder back in school
C D
I could've been somebody's fool
G Em D
But I like making my own rules
[Chorus]

Oh, the deep blue swell

Em
We'll tie off the boat and tally up
C D
What's the catch, is it enough?
G Em D
They say tomorrow's lookin' rough
Em
It's a long way from anywhere out here
C D
You think about old things dear
G Em D
Then you say just one more year
[Chorus]
Am C
Oh, the deep blue swell
G D
This could be our last farewell
Am C
Oh, the deep blue swell
G D
Gotta make some money

Oh, the deep blue swell
