Shark Fin Blues

D  D  C  D  A/C#  x2

Bm / D

A                             
Standing on the deck I watch my 
          Em      D/F#
shadow stretch
G                               D
The sun pours my shadow upon that 
deck
A                                 
The waters licking round my ankles
      Em  D/F#
 now
G                               D
There ain't no sunshine way way down

A                                 
I see the sharks are in the water 
      Em      D/F#
like slicks of ink
G                               D
Well, there's one there bigger than 
a submarine
A                       Em  D/F#
As he circles I look in his eye
G                             
I see Jonah in his belly by the 
  D
campfire light

D

A                              
Oh, an albatross up in the windy 
         Em      D/F#
lofts
G                             
He's beating his wings while he 
  D
sleeps it off
A                                 
I hear the jettisoned cries from 
      Em  D/F#
his dreams unkind
G                               D
Yeah they're whippin' my ears like a
 riding crop

A                                 
The captain once as able as a fink
      Em      D/F#
 dandy

G                               D
He's now laid up in the galley like 
a dried out mink
A                                 
He's laying dying of thirst and he
      Em  D/F#
 says or I think
G                               D
Well, we're gonna be alone from here
 on in

Em                                
Well you're all my brothers, and 
              D
you have been kind
Em                              D
But what were you expecting to find?
G                         
Now your eyes turn inwards, 
                      Bm
countenance turns blank
C
And I'm floating away on a barrel of
 pain
It looks like nothing but the sea 
              Bm
and sky oh remain

Solo:

A  Em   D/F#  G  D  X 4

D

A                       Em      D/F#
I sing na na nana nananana na
G                   D
Na na nana nananana na

(Na na's X 4)

A                                 
A harpoon's shaft is short and 
      Em      D/F#
wide
G                               D
A grappling hook's is cracked and 
dry
A                                 
I said, why don't you get down in 
      Em  D/F#
the sea
G                               D
Turn the water red like you want to 
be?

A                                 
Cause if I cry another tear I'll 
      Em      D/F#
be turned to dust
G                             
No the sharks won't get me they 
  D
don't feel loss
A                              
Just keep one eye on the horizon 
         Em  D/F#
man, you best not blink
G                               D
They're coming fin by fin until the 
whole boat sinks

A       Em      D/F#
Fin by fin
G        D
Fin by fin
A       Em      D/F#
Fin by fin
G               D
Fin by fin by fin by fin
