Skin Diver's Lament chords by
Oscar Brand
Oscar Brand

N/A
Verse 1
C

One morning in

June, said the boatman to me,

Let me teach you to dive,
G

with tank on or free,
C

When you can frolic far under the sea,
G
C

Away down, down, down.
G

So I put on his flippers,
C

I flipped like a frog,
G

Put on his mask, I looked like a hog,
C

Put on his tank and I sank like a log away,
G
C

down, down, down.
G
C

So I panicked and gasped

and I floundered in fright.
G
C

The mud turned the water
G

as black as the night.
C
G
C

I was certain that boatman had done it for spite away,
G
C

down, down, down.

As the water got clear,

a small shark swam my way.
G

I floated in shock, having little to say
C

The white of his teeth,

I remember this day
G
C

Away down, down, down

With a flip of his flipper he figured my size

And sneered and swam off
G

with contempt in his eyes
C

I swallowed my pride, you'll agree it was wise,
G
C
G
C

away down, down, down.

Then all of a sudden my face felt a chill,

G

The faceplate with icy sea water did fill,

O
C
G
C

Lord, how I prayed I could grow me a gill,
G
C

away down, down, down.

I kicked and I paddled, oh

Lord, what a scare
G

Right straight for the surface, in haste I

did tear
C

So fast I went flying ten feet through the

air
G
C

Away down, down, down
G
C

My eardrums were punctured,

I suffered the bends

Says the boatman,
G

you'll learn how a diver ascends
C
G
C

He sold me his gear at half price for a men's
G
C

A way down, down, down.

I know now that man underwater is cursed,

Still I descend,
G

though expecting the worst,
C
G
C

For life holds no thrill till I'm fully immersed,
G
C

A way down, down, down.

  • Best Tuning App Ever

    MaddProfessor

    I've downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

  • Well-Designed App

    Rose the Black Cat

    I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

  • Got me back into playing

    Tuliketsune

    I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

  • Secret weapon

    Brad

    Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

  • Very reliable tuner

    theNewPaul

    This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

  • This is the best guitar tuner ever.

    Caleb Schafli

    It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.

  • Great to tune and play

    Lynae T

    I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
