Verse 1
the rusty stairwell
with a towel around his neck
A
D
The freestylers and jumping beans
were just a little speck
On his vision and his radar,
as the building stopped in awe
A
D
As he launched himself
straight off the 12 -foot board
Soaring like an eagle,
G
D
with the simplest of grace
A
D
At a hundred miles an hour,
laughing fear straight in the face
Torpedoed through the cushion,
G
D
towards the darkest depths
D
G
secrets were kept
D

And he was blessed, he was cursed
G
D
As he held his breath so tight

The gelder mouse and cargo,
G
D
lying deep beneath the sea,
A
D
Consumed his mind from day to night
with its antiquity.
It swallowed up so many men,
G
D
he revelled in the fear,
D
G
D
I'll bring it home, my dear.
