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
