Bm / D
A                                       Em      D/F#
Standing on the deck I watch my shadow stretch
G                               D
The sun pours my shadow upon that deck
A                                       Em  D/F#
The waters licking round my ankles now
G                               D
There ain't no sunshine way way down
A                                       Em      D/F#
I see the sharks are in the water like slicks of ink
G                               D
Well, there's one there bigger than a submarine
A                       Em  D/F#
As he circles I look in his eye
G                               D
I see Jonah in his belly by the campfire light
D
A                                       Em      D/F#
Oh, an albatross up in the windy lofts
G                               D
He's beating his wings while he sleeps it off
A                                       Em  D/F#
I hear the jettisoned cries from his dreams unkind
G                               D
Yeah they're whippin' my ears like a riding crop
A                                       Em      D/F#
The captain once as able as a fink dandy
G                               D
He's now laid up in the galley like a dried out mink
A                                       Em  D/F#
He's laying dying of thirst and he says or I think
G                               D
Well, we're gonna be alone from here on in
Em                                              D
Well you're all my brothers, and you have been kind
Em                              D
But what were you expecting to find?
G                                               Bm
Now your eyes turn inwards, countenance turns blank
C
And I'm floating away on a barrel of pain
                                                Bm
It looks like nothing but the sea and sky oh remain
Solo:
A  Em   D/F#  G  D  X 4
D
A                       Em      D/F#
I sing na na nana nananana na
G                   D
Na na nana nananana na
(Na na's X 4)
D
A                                       Em      D/F#
A harpoon's shaft is short and wide
G                               D
A grappling hook's is cracked and dry
A                                       Em  D/F#
I said, why don't you get down in the sea
G                               D
Turn the water red like you want to be?
A                                       Em      D/F#
Cause if I cry another tear I'll be turned to dust
G                               D
No the sharks won't get me they don't feel loss
A                                       Em  D/F#
Just 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       Em      D/F#
Fin by fin
G        D
Fin by fin
A       Em      D/F#
Fin by fin
G               D
Fin by fin by fin by fin
