Key:
E D The day I turned my back on all
A you people
E D A I felt an itching in my thumbs.
C#m E7 Salt air like a broadcast from the
F#m B7 distant, dark beyond
A D A When my transformation
(Bbmaj7/A) A comes. [Verse 2]
E D I went down to the warm, warm
A water
E D A Saw a pelican flypast
C#m E7 Waved once at the highway and then
F#m B7 left all that behind me
A D A I went wading through the
(Bbmaj7/A) A grass. [Verse 3]
Bm Dm And no one was gonna come and get
Amaj7 me.

Bm Dm Amaj7 There wasn't anybody gonna know.
F#m D Even though I leave a trail of
C#7 F#m burnt things in my wake
A D A Every single place I go.
(Bbmaj7/A) A [Instrumental]
E D A
E D A [Verse 4]
E D A And it was cool, and it was quiet
E D A In the humid marsh down there.
C#m E7 I let my head sink down beneath
F#m B7 the brackish water,
A D A (Bbmaj7/A) A Felt it gumming up my hair. [Verse 5]
E D The sun was sinking into the
A Atlantic
E D The last time that I turned my
A back on you.
C#m E7 F#m I tried to summon up a little
B7 prayer as I went under
A D A It was the best that I could
(Bbmaj7/A) A do. [Verse 6] And I said
Bm Dm Let them all fare better than
Amaj7 your servant,
Bm Dm The reeds all pricking at my
Amaj7 skin.
F#m D Here's hoping they have better
C#7 B7 luck than I had down here with you
A D A All that water rushing in
(Bbmaj7/A) A
