Verse 1
Am
The wind was whipping
E
shingle through the windows in the town
A hail of stones across the roof,
Am
the slates came raining down
A blade of light upon the spit came
Dm
sweeping through the roar

With me head inside a barrel and

Mother pack me bags because

I'm off to foreign parts
Don't ask me where I'm going 'cause
Dm
Am
Dm
Am
I'm sure it's off the charts
I'll pin your likeness on the wall
Dm
right by my sleeping head
E
I'll send you cards and letters so
you'll know that I'm not dead
Verse 3
Am
By this time in a week I should
E
be far away from home
Trailing fingers through the phospor or
Am
asleep in flowers of foam
From Macao to Acapulco from
Dm
Havana to Seville
E
We'll see monoliths and bridges
and the Christ up on the hill
Verse 4
E
Am
An aria with the Russians at
E
the piano in the bar
With ice floes through the window
Am
we raised glasses to the Czar
We squared off on a dockside with
Dm
a couple a hundred Finns
E
We dallied in the 'dilly and we
soaked ourselves in gin
Verse 5
Dm
Am
Now the only deck that I'd want to walk
E
Are the stalks of corn
Am
beneath my feet
Dm
Am
And the only sea I want to sail
E
Is the darkned pond in
the scented dusk
Where a kid grow's full of sadness
Let's all go drifting out into the even

Verse 6
Am
We sailed through constellations
E
and were rutted by the storm
I crumpled under cudgel blows
Am
and finally came ashore
I spent the next two years or more
Dm
just staring at the wall
E
We went to sea to see the world
and what d'you think we saw?
Verse 7
Am
If we turned the table upside down
E
and sailed around the bed
Clamped knives between our teeth and
Am
tied bandannas round our heads
With the wainscot our horizon and
Dm
the ceiling as the sky
E
You'd not expect that anyone
would go and fuckin' die
Verse 8
Dm
Am
Now the only deck that I'd want to walk
E
Are the stalks of corn

Dm
Am
And the only sea I want to sail

Verse 9
Am
At nights we passed the bottle round
E
and drank to our lost friends
We lay alone upon our bunks
Am
and prayed that this would end
A wall of moving shadows with
Dm
rows of swinging keys
E
We dreamed that whole Leviathans
lay rotting in the weeds
Verse 10
Am
There's a sound that comes from miles
E
away if you lean your head to hear
A ship's bell rings on board a wreck
Am
when the air is still and clear
And up above that means another
Dm
angel's got his wings
E
But all below it signifies is
a ship's gone in the drink
Verse 11
Dm
Am
Now the only deck that I'd want to walk
E
Are the stalks of corn
Am
beneath my feet
Dm
Am
And the only sea I want to sail

Is the darkned pond in
