Pearl Diving

A    Bm7

[Verse 1]
(bass and drums enter)
I have a boat which I've never 
A
sailed

(Aweigh, anchor, away)
A
 Onto its mast my colours nailed

(Aweigh, anchor, away)
A
 It's loaded with years and years of
 hope

(Aweigh, anchor, away)
A
 It refracts and cuts my capstan 
rope

(Aweigh, anchor, away)
A
 My family sextant is the filling 
moon
                  Bm
(Aweigh, anchor, away)
Bm                             A
 The old tree sings in perfect tune

(Aweigh, anchor, away)

[Verse 2]
A
 With greater age we see the birth

(Aweigh, anchor, away)
A
 The offspring of a strange new surf

(Aweigh, anchor, away)
A
 A free dive from this miserable sky

(Aweigh, anchor, away)
Bm
 With lungs of soot in the grime 
filled deep

(Aweigh, anchor, away)
A                                 
 Shockеd and pulled from a nice 
   E
dull sleep

Continues after the ad
[Bridge 1]
  A
I know you'rе down there

In swaying kelp I'll find you
  F#m         D              A
I feel like a child about to board a
 ghost train

With piercing sirens blaring
        F#m/A    D/A              
Through rings of black roses I'll 
Bm
move
               A
Slow, scared, alive!

[Bridge 2]
Am
 The deluge is upon us, the laughing
 rudder chants

A springboard dance with no last 
chance
                        Am
As I gasp for air, it's there


Section 2.

[Intro] (piano chords, keep tempo)
D Em G Bm

[Verse 1]
D                            Em
 The sanded heart fills red; just as
 your gull voice said
G                 Bm             
 Swooping and turning, the 
     A
bridges are burning

[Verse 2]
D                     Em
 Is it so much to take that we'll 
break?
      G                            
Am I a man upon the land or a 
  Bm
silkie on the sea?

[Verse 3]
D                    Em
 Just as I suspected, you're not 
what I expected
G                              Bm
 Open the shell, pull me close, and 
with salty spit
         E
I'm launched

[Chorus]
(all instruments enter)
(E)
  I will not resist you
F#m                            
 But I'll move slow and scared, 
C#m
alive
            A
I hope that you are there
          B
I hope to find you there

E
 I will not resist you
F#m                            
 But I'll move slow and scared, 
C#m
alive
        A
Anchor, away
        B
Anchor, away!

[Chorus]
E
 I will not resist you
F#m                            
 But I'll move slow and scared, 
C#m
alive
            A
I hope that you are there
          B
I hope to find you there

E
 I will not resist you
F#m                            
 But I'll move slow and scared, 
C#m
alive
         A
Anchor, away
         B    (melody ends on E)
Anchor, away!
