Tuning: E A D G B E
This song is in 3/4 time - like a waltz.
The phrases being played on the piano are much more than what's
represented in the chords here. For instance, the outro chords
can be played with a G# note played on the high e string on the
4th fret to make them sound more like the piano notes.
[Intro]
A E Dmaj7 A (x2)
[Verse]
ASouth of the Eriver's mouth
MiDmaj7gration slopes slowly towards Amainland
AThere, the salt Eair
Fills the Dmaj7gills of the dead bait in Ahand
The Adeep is in riot, the Ecoastline is quiet
Dmaj7Asleep and divided in Abands
While Abeer halls all revel, Edrunk and disheveled
Dmaj7Helplessly wading the Adiver is down
[Chorus]
And they're F#mchumming the Amaj7oceans
The F#msignal is Amaj7sent
ReF#mceived and resAmaj7ponded to
The F#mwater is Amaj7red, red, red, Ared
[Instrumental break]
A E Dmaj7 A (x2)
[Verse]
We're Adowned, downed as the Ehand of God
Chokes the Dmaj7driftwood with dead weight and Abrine
And Aspawning the Edetailed decline
Via Dmaj7dorsal cuts, hooks, sink and Aline
The Aanchors have settled, the Etanks are full level
The Dmaj7flag has been raised half-Amast on the bow
And Aharpoons are loaded, the Ecage has been lowered
The Dmaj7mask's on, the diver is Adown, now
[Chorus]
And they're F#mchumming the Amaj7oceans
The F#msignal is Amaj7sent
I F#mthink he's in Amaj7trouble
The F#mwater is Amaj7red, red, red, red
[Outro]
E Amaj7 E
