Song Title: Shark Fin Blues Artist: Written by The Drones, though this particular tab is as performed by Missy Higgins. Tabbed by: Kate This is a gorgeous song originally done by a truly brilliant Australian band, The Drones. The version of this song on which this tab is based is Missy Higgin's cover version from her forthcoming album, Oz, a collection of spectacular songs by extraordinary Australian artists. Missy's version is a bit more polished than the rugged original and taken up a bit in key. I played along with my capo on the first fret using these chords and it sounded perfect. Listen to you original if you didn't do, though I think Missy did beautifully making this song her own, both versions are utterly priceless. Capo on 1st Fret
AStanding on the deck I watch my shadow Estretch The sGun pours my shadow upon theD deck The wAaters licking round my ankles Enow Well, Gthere ain't no sun shine wayD way down
IA see the sharks in the water like slicks oEf ink Gwell, there's one there bigger than a Dsubmarine and as Ahe circles, I look inE his eyes I see Jonah Gin his belly by the camp fire lDight
See the aAlbatross up in the windy lofEt Gets to beatGing his wings while he sleeps it offD I hear the jettisonAed cries from his dream unEkind Get to wGhipping my ears like a riding cDrop
Well, the Acaptain once as able as a fink Edandy Is now laiGd up in the galley like a dried out miDnk He's laying dAying of thirst and he says or EI think "WGe're gonna be alone from hDere on in"
Well you'Ere all my brothers And you have been Dkind But what Ewere you expecting to Dfind? Now your Eeyes turn inwards And your countBmenance turns blank And I'm floCating away on a barrel of pain It looks like nothing but the sea and sky rEemains...
NAah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nEah NGah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, Dnah
NAah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nEah NGah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, Dnah
A haArpoon's shaft is short and Ewide A grGappling hook is cracked andD dry I said, whAy don't you get down in the Esea TGurn the water red like you wanna bDe?
Cos if I cry aAnother tear I'll be turned to dust E The Gsharks won't get me, but they don't feel Dloss Keep one eAye on the horizon, man, you best not Eblink! They're coming fGin by fin until the whole boat Dsinks!
