Pearl Diving

A    Bm7

(bass and drums enter)
                               A
I have a boat which I've never sailed
(Aweigh, anchor, away)
A
 Onto its mast my colours nailed
(Aweigh, anchor, away)
A
 It's loaded with years and years of hope
(Aweigh, anchor, away)
A
 It refracts and cuts my capstan rope
(Aweigh, anchor, away)
A
 My family sextant is the filling moon
                  Bm
(Aweigh, anchor, away)
Bm                             A
 The old tree sings in perfect tune
(Aweigh, anchor, away)

A
 With greater age we see the birth
(Aweigh, anchor, away)
A
 The offspring of a strange new surf
(Aweigh, anchor, away)
A
 A free dive from this miserable sky
(Aweigh, anchor, away)
Bm
 With lungs of soot in the grime filled deep
(Aweigh, anchor, away)
A                                    E
 Shockеd and pulled from a nice dull sleep

  A
I know you'rе down there
In swaying kelp I'll find you
  F#m         D              A
I feel like a child about to board a ghost train
With piercing sirens blaring
        F#m/A    D/A              Bm
Through rings of black roses I'll move
               A
Slow, scared, alive!

(A) F#m  D  A

A

Am
 The deluge is upon us, the laughing rudder chants
A springboard dance with no last chance
                        Am
As I gasp for air, it's there
Section 2.
[Intro] (piano chords, keep tempo)
D Em G Bm

D                            Em
 The sanded heart fills red; just as your gull voice said
G                 Bm                  A
 Swooping and turning, the bridges are burning

D                     Em
 Is it so much to take that we'll break?
      G                              Bm
Am I a man upon the land or a silkie on the sea?

D                    Em
 Just as I suspected, you're not what I expected
G                              Bm
 Open the shell, pull me close, and with salty spit
         E
I'm launched

(all instruments enter)
(E)
  I will not resist you
F#m                            C#m
 But I'll move slow and scared, alive
            A
I hope that you are there
          B
I hope to find you there
E
 I will not resist you
F#m                            C#m

Anchor, away

Anchor, away!

I hope that you are there
          B
I hope to find you there
E
 I will not resist you
F#m                            C#m
 But I'll move slow and scared, alive
         A
Anchor, away
         B    (melody ends on E)
Anchor, away!
