Shark Fin Blues

Capo on 1st Fret A E Standing on the deck I watch my shadow stretch G D The sun pours my shadow upon the deck A E The waters licking round my ankles now G D Well, there ain't no sun shine way way down A E I see the sharks in the water like slicks of ink G D well, there's one there bigger than a submarine A E and as he circles, I look in his eyes G D I see Jonah in his belly by the camp fire light A E See the albatross up in the windy loft G D Gets to beating his wings while he sleeps it off A E I hear the jettisoned cries from his dream unkind G D Get to whipping my ears like a riding crop A E Well, the captain once as able as a fink dandy G D Is now laid up in the galley like a dried out mink A E He's laying dying of thirst and he says or I think G D "We're gonna be alone from here on in" E Well you're all my brothers D And you have been kind E D But what were you expecting to find? E Now your eyes turn inwards Bm And your countenance turns blank C And I'm floating away on a barrel of pain E It looks like nothing but the sea and sky remains... A E Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah G D Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah A E Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah G D Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah A E A harpoon's shaft is short and wide G D A grappling hook is cracked and dry A E I said, why don't you get down in the sea G D Turn the water red like you wanna be? A E Cos if I cry another tear I'll be turned to dust G D The sharks won't get me, but they don't feel loss A E Keep one eye on the horizon, man, you best not blink! G D They're coming fin by fin until the whole boat sinks! A E Fin by fin (Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah) G D Fin by fin by fin by fin (Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah) A E Fin by fin (Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah) G D Fin by fin by fin by fin (Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah) Outro A E Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah G D Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah A E Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah G D Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah A E Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah G D Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah A E Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah G D Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah D Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah Enjoy! :)
