A E
South of the river's mouth
Dmaj7 A
Migration slopes slowly towards mainland
A E
There, the salt air
Dmaj7 A
Fills the gills of the dead bait in hand
A E
The deep is in riot, the coastline is quiet
Dmaj7 A
Asleep and divided in bands
A E
While beer halls all revel, drunk and disheveled
Dmaj7 A
Helplessly wading the diver is down
[Chorus]
F#m Amaj7
And they're chumming the oceans
F#m Amaj7
The signal is sent
F#m Amaj7
Received and responded to
F#m Amaj7 A
The water is red, red, red, red
[Instrumental break]
A E Dmaj7 A (x2)
[Verse]
A E
We're downed, downed as the hand of God
Dmaj7 A
Chokes the driftwood with dead weight and brine
A E
And spawning the detailed decline
Dmaj7 A
Via dorsal cuts, hooks, sink and line
A E
The anchors have settled, the tanks are full level
Dmaj7 A
The flag has been raised half-mast on the bow
A E
And harpoons are loaded, the cage has been lowered
Dmaj7 A
The mask's on, the diver is down, now
[Chorus]
F#m Amaj7
And they're chumming the oceans
F#m Amaj7
The signal is sent
F#m Amaj7
I think he's in trouble
F#m Amaj7
The water is red, red, red, red
