Rail Yard Ghosts - Ode to joshua slocum

^GmThere ain’t nothin’ in this land worthy of my life’s demand, I set my sa^Fils leeward ^GmIt’s the horizon that I chase forevermore without a place, except the open^F sea, the ocean will devour me

^EbWhoaaa^{Gm F} [Verse 2]

^GmI’ve done all I can do and I’ve said all I can say, I must g^Fo on ^GmI’ll waste my days drifting lost upon the waves to be swallowed ^Fby the sun

^CmFrom the tide in which we’re born to the ^Bbeye of the storm, ^Fforever more,^Eb forever more ^CmRest my bones upon the sean, ain’t no ^Bbuse to bury me upon the s^Fhore

I’ll sin^Ebk down, into th^Gme dark, let the depths tear me a^Fpart I’ll sink^Eb down into the dept^Gmhs, in the dark where I will r^Fest

^GmThink of the coast in which he bled, she laid me down the night I fled I’ll never f^Forget, heard that ^Gmvoice in the storm, luring me to follow that ghost, I sold my s^Foul

^EbWhoaaa ^{Gm F} [Verse 4]

^GmFrom sunrise until sunset seawashed bones are all im left, to the ^Fwest rising ^Gmtides float me to shore ill be driftward evermore, ^Fevermore

^CmAncient voices call upon the sands of the ^Bbtime where I was born, Born on the ^Ftide, born on the wind These voices call ^Ebme home again, ^CmDown into,down into the ^Bbdepths of, the depths of me That ^Fendless dark of sea, that ^Ebancient history ^CmI’ll sail away, I’ll sail away To find a ^Bbplace, to find a place That resting ^Fbed that is my holy ^Ebgrave

I’ll sink ^Ebdown, into the ^Gmdark, let the depths tear me ^Fapart I’ll sink ^Ebdown into the ^Gmdepths, in the dark where I will ^Frest

^CmI am a careful man at sea near the ^BbIsle of Pico ^Fa storm did ^Ebarise, I grew ^Cmweak and fell ^Bbill An ^Cmapparition t^Fook the ^Gmwheel! ^CmMy boat sailed itself into the ^Bbsky, with the g^Fods I now res^Ebide ^CmMy boat sailed itself into the ^Bbsky, with the g^Fods I now ari^Ebse

I’ll sink ^Ebdown, into the ^Gmdark, let the depths tear me ^Fapart I’ll sink ^Ebdown into the ^Gmdepths, in the dark where I will ^Frest

I’ll sink ^Ebdown, into the ^Gmdark, let the depths tear me ^Fapart I'll sink ^Ebdown to the abyss, ^Gmthis life I’ll never ^Fmiss

^EbWhoaaa! ^{Gm Gm}There ain’t nothin’ in this land worthy of my last demand, so I set ^Fsail
