[Verse]
AStanding on the deck I watch my shadow sEmtretch D/F#
GThe sun pours my shadow upon thaDt deck
AThe waters licking round my ankles now Em D/F#
GThere ain't no sunshine way way Ddown
AI see the sharks are in the wateEmr like sD/F#licks of ink
GWell, there's one there bigger tDhan a submarine
AAs he circles I look in EmhisD/F# eye
GI see Jonah in his belly by the Dcampfire light
[Verse]
D
AOh, an albatross up in the windy lofts Em D/F#
GHe's beating his wings while he Dsleeps it off
AI hear the jettisoned cries from his dreEmams unkiD/F#nd
GYeah they're whippin' my ears liDke a riding crop
AThe captain once as able as a fink dandyEm D/F#
GHe's now laid up in the galley lDike a dried out mink
AHe's laying dying of thirst and he says Emor I thiD/F#nk
GWell, we're gonna be alone from Dhere on in
[Chorus]
EmWell you're all my brothers, and you have been kDind
EmBut what were you expecting to fDind?
GNow your eyes turn inwards, countenance turns blBmank
CAnd I'm floating away on a barrel of pain
It looks like nothing but the sea and sky oh remBmain
