(I tried-)

I tried beaches and bays that I found along the way
Am D
And I made my pay from the pearls I found each day
G F G
Sleeping on the sand, scars upon my hands
A D G
Here's how I lived my final day
D B A B G
(Hit guitar and play random stuff for the piano part)
G C G
I woke up early this one morning
Am D
'Cause I had a weird feeling about that day
G F G
I should have noticed the grey cloudy warning
A D G
But I swam myself out into the bay
G C G
I dove down deep to feel around
G A
Between the rocks and the mud
G C G
There was a sound that dropped down towards me
Am G
A pearly voice from above
G
It said, "Wait around
F
Make yourself drown
Am A C
I'll be right down and we'll go to town
Am D G
And forever just float around."
G C G
So I waited and waited and waited and waited
Am D
And my weight went away and just went off
G C G
Salty water poured into my lungs
A G
And my hard-working hands turned to rot
