(I tend to feel this song in 3/8. If you're feeling it in 6/8,
note the time signature changes in the chorus.)
[Intro]
D5 Dsus2 Dsus4 D
D5 Dsus2 Dsus4 D
[Verse 1]
D5 Dsus2 Dsus4 D G5
This is the story of the last trip of a drunken man
A7 D5 Dsus2 Dsus4 D
Who lost his tender one in the rolling waves
D5 Dsus2 Dsus4 D
D5 Dsus2 Dsus4 D G5
He swallowed hundreds of bottles and told his friends
A7 D5 Dsus2 Dsus4 D
He was gonna cross the sea to find his love
D5 Dsus2 Dsus4 D
[Chorus]
Gadd9
I wanna dance
A7
With you all night
Bm7 Bm7/A
Under the sea
Gadd9 A
We'll ride whales and fly straight to the moon
F#m Bm7 Bm7/A
And dive to the deepest and coldest sands
Gadd9
And then we'll hear the siren's voice saying,
A
"Do you know I'm your mother?"
[Bridge]
D5 Dsus2 Dsus4 D
D5 Dsus2 Dsus4 D
[Verse 2]
D5 Dsus2 Dsus4 D G5
It was early in the morning when the sun shone
A7 D5 Dsus2 Dsus4 D
The clouds were turning red as gory drawings
D5 Dsus2 Dsus4 D G5
Everyone was sleeping around the dead fire, but one was missing
A7 D5 Dsus2 Dsus4 D
He never came back, and he never will
D5 Dsus2 Dsus4 D
[Chorus]
Gadd9
He reached his love
A7
And danced with her all night
Bm7 Bm7/A
Under the sea
Gadd9 A
He rode the whales and flew straight to the moon
F#m Bm7 Bm7/A
And dived to the deepest and coldest sands
Gadd9
Then he heard the siren's voice saying,
A
"Did you know you had a daughter?"
