Original song and chords
Εm
Weird lands, palm trees and a hot torching sun direct
Βm Em
a bird is ably balancing on the back stays
Am
two black and blemished arms that wave with blase
B7 Em
by strange tropical diseases they are wrecked
Εm
A yellow flag waving a signal of the seas
Βm Em
"drop both and the sea anchor lower aweather too"
Am
the navigation lights and Pisanello do
B7 Em
appear discoloured from the waves of time that flees
Εm
The heavy sea, the heavy sea will capsize us
Βm Em
the lot is rotten and soaking, cement and rust
Am
it was early on to the right of the bow just
B7 Em
when the shark piloting dropped off with a slush
Εm
The parrot is giving out orders to the mast
Βm Em Am
like it did then from inside Columbus's berth
For years I long to put the dinghy away on earth
B7 Em
for years I long on land to get dizzy at last
Fm
The natives are lighting up fires on the sand
Cm Fm
a hubbub reaches us from instruments they play
Bbm
and as the deaths of the sea they're crushing away
C7 Fm
I want you to come forth and on the ratlines to stand
F#m
Seaweed interweaved with your hair and out your lips
C#m F#m
the way you are in the depths where you lay for good
Bm
all spotted and cut by swords for the ground you stood
C#7 F#m
just adorned by Inca's double earrings with grips
Gm
The heavy sea, the heavy sea will capsize us
Dm Gm
the lot is rotten and is soaking, cement and rust
Cm
it was early on to the right of the bow just
D7 Gm
when the shark piloting dropped off with a slush
