Wine Dark Sea

       D                  A
I have crushed the cup of youth
       Bm              G
like a rose between my fingers  but it's
D            Bm              G           A
nectar never warmed my weary heart
       Bm              Fm
I have watched life disappear
         G                 Gm
like the creepin' mists of mornin'  for these
D                 A               C           G
ropes that tie me down will never part
           D             A
For I have never known a feelin'
        Bm             G
such as this wash over me
        D                A
I would climb the purple mountains
        E                  Bm
I would swim the wine dark sea
      D                   A
Oh my back is weak and my brain is dull
         Bm           G
from the toil of many years
D               Bm         Em         A
workin' just to justify my fear
           Bm                Fm
but all my feelin's come and go
      G                 Gm
while inside  somethin' grows
       D                A
got to make it,  try to fake it
           C              G
through my lonely, lonely years
           D                A
Until I've once again this feelin'
     Bm               G
that just washed over me
        D                A
I would climb the purple mountains
        E                  Bm
I would swim the wine dark sea

G       A                 Bm
Oh      oh I had it right there,in my hand
       G                       A
how to get you to change, your lonely waste
     Bm
to a greener land  but I got the
G           A
typical,  ambivalence
   Bm                          G
of blissful mankind   I let it go
            C
just didn't know
    D              A
And now my story's done
       Bm             G
do not feel     symphathy
         D           Bm           G          A
there is little of my body left to save
        Bm                 Fm
keep on searchin' till you find
           G               Gm
that which prays upon your mind   or you'll
D           A               C             G
find   cold comfort in your grave
          D               A
'til I've once again this feelin'
     Bm               G
that just washed over me
        D                A
I would climb the purple mountains
        E                  Bm
I would swim the wine dark sea
          D             A
Oh I have never known a feelin'
        Bm             G
such as this wash over me
        D                A
I would climb the purple mountains
        E                  Bm
I would swim the wine dark sea
