(E major) (A minor)
(C major) (D minor) (A minor)
Verse 1
The (A minor) wind was whipping
shingle through the windows (E major) in the town
A hail of stones across the roof,
the slates (A minor) came raining down
A blade of light upon the spit came
sweeping (D minor) through the roar
With me head in (E major) side a barrel and

Verse 2
me leg screwed in the floor
(A minor) Mother pack me bags because
I'm (E major) off to foreign parts
Don't ask me where I'm going 'cause
I'm sure (D minor) (A minor) it's (D minor) off (A minor) the charts
I'll pin your likeness on the wall
right by (D minor) my sleeping head
I'll send (E major) you cards and letters so
you'll know that I'm not dead
Verse 3
By (A minor) this time in a week I should
be (E major) far away from home
Trailing fingers through the phospor or
asleep (A minor) in flowers of foam
From Macao to Acapulco from
Havana (D minor) to Seville
We'll see (E major) monoliths and bridges
and the Christ up on the hill
Verse 4
An (E major) aria (A minor) with the Russians at
the pi (E major) ano in the bar
With ice floes through the window
we raised (A minor) glasses to the Czar
We squared off on a dockside with
a couple (D minor) a hundred Finns
We dallied (E major) in the 'dilly and we
soaked ourselves in gin
Verse 5
Now the (D minor) only deck that I'd (A minor) want to walk
Are the stalks (E major) of corn
beneath (A minor) my feet
And the (D minor) only sea I want (A minor) to sail
(E major) 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
(A minor) ing (E major) sun (A minor)
Interlude 1
(A minor) (D minor) (G major) (E major)
(A minor)
Verse 6
We sailed (A minor) through constellations
and were (E major) rutted by the storm
I crumpled under cudgel blows
and (A minor) finally came ashore
I spent the next two years or more
just star (D minor) ing at the wall
We (E major) went to sea to see the world
and what d'you think we saw?
Verse 7
If we turned (A minor) the table upside down
and sailed (E major) around the bed
Clamped knives between our teeth and
tied bandan (A minor) nas round our heads
With the wainscot our horizon and
the ceiling (D minor) as the sky
You'd not (E major) expect that anyone
would go and fuckin' die
Verse 8
Now the (D minor) only deck that I'd (A minor) want to walk
Are the stalks (E major) of corn
beneath (A minor) my feet
And the (D minor) only sea I (A minor) want to sail
Is the (E major) darkned pond in the scented dusk
Where a kid grow's full of sadness
Let us all go drifting out into
the evening (A minor) (E major) sun (A minor)
Verse 9
(A minor)
At nights we passed the bottle round
and drank (E major) to our lost friends
We lay alone upon our bunks
and prayed (A minor) that this would end
A wall of moving shadows with
rows (D minor) of swinging keys
We dreamed (E major) that whole Leviathans
lay rotting in the weeds
Verse 10
There's a sound (A minor) that comes from miles
away if you (E major) lean your head to hear
A ship's bell rings on board a wreck
when the (A minor) air is still and clear
And up above that means another
an (D minor) gel's got his wings
But (E major) all below it signifies is
a ship's gone in the drink
Verse 11
Now the (D minor) only deck that I'd (A minor) want to walk
Are the stalks (E major) of corn
beneath (A minor) my feet
And the (D minor) only sea I want (A minor) to sail
Is the (E major) darkned pond in
the scented dusk
Where a kid grow's full of sadness
Let us all go drifting out into the evening (A minor) (E major) sun (A minor)
