[Chorus]
Am C
He was born on the crest of a wave
D Am
Rocked in the cradle of the deep
Am
His eyes were stars
C
His teeth were spars
D E
He played guitar with shark teeeeeeeth. (With shark teeth)
Am C
Land lovers couldn’t hold-fast
D Am
At night mermaids kept him warm
Am C
Rocking him under the Northern Star
D Am
Until this song was born
[Verse 1]
Am
As the white caps rose
C
Un-der the stars
D Am
And a full bloody moon
Am C
Frets gripped as strings ripped
D E
Spitting tar inside spitoons
Am C
His hair was hemp and seaweed
D Am
At night he played walking the plank
Am
When he went ashore
C
Got free pint pours
D Am
And made love along the river bank
[Chorus]
Am C
He was born on the crest of a wave
D Am
Rocked in the cradle of the deep
Am
His eyes were stars
C
His teeth were spars
D E
He played guitar with shark teeeeeeeth. (With shark teeth)
Am C
Land lovers couldn’t hold-fast
D Am
At night mermaids kept him warm
Am C
Rocking him under the Southern Cross
D Am
Until this song was born
[Verse 2]
Am C
His solos swelled like a gale force winds
D Am
Whippin seas like you wouldn’t believe
Am C
The waves white caps came crashing down
D E
But the ship he just couldn’t leave
Am
The thunder rumbled
C
And the lightening cracked
D Am
Leaving scars up in the sky
Am C
Telling God if you’re closing curtains
D Am
Let this ballad be my good bye
[Solo]
Am C D Am Am C E

[Chorus]
Am C
He was born on the crest of a wave
D Am
Rocked in the cradle of the deep
Am
His eyes were stars
C
His teeth were spars
D E
He played guitar with shark teeeeeeeth. (With shark teeth)
Am C
Land lovers couldn’t hold-fast
D Am
At night mermaids kept him warm
Am C
Rocking him under the Northern Star
D Am
Until this song was born
[Bridge]
Am C
The eye of the storm was above him
D Am
He cap-sized while hauling it in
Am C
If you put your ear against a sea shell
D Am
You can still hear mermaids calling for him
[Chorus]
Am C
He was born on the crest of a wave
D Am
Rocked in the cradle of the deep
Am
His eyes were stars
C
His teeth were spars
D E
He played guitar with shark teeeeeeeth. (With shark teeth)
Am C
Land lovers couldn’t hold-fast
D Am
At night mermaids kept him warm
Am C
Rocking him under the Southern Cross
D Am
Until this song was born
