[Verse]
Ebm             Bbm
I looked at the tide
            C#
I wasn’t surprised
            G#
When they capsized
Ebm            Bbm
Pulled into the depths
                   C#
While their mothers wept
               G#
Forever they slept

C#               Ebm
A tale I hate to tell
                Bbm
But it must be heard
               C#
I’ve always preferred
                G#
The song of the bird

[whistle]

[Verse]
Ebm                    Bbm
The waves brought to the shore
         C#
A single oar
            G#
And nothing more
      Ebm           Bbm
And carved into the wood
                C#
A message that should
                 G#
Warn others that could
C#              Ebm
Follow in their wake
              Bbm
Oh we are all fools
               C#
It’s taken our soul
            G#
The siren’s call

[aaahs]
Ebm  Bbm  C#  G#
Ebm  Bbm  C#  G#

Ebm           Bbm
Stolen from the sun
          C#
Four fishermen
              G#
They were so young
     Ebm                  Bbm
And now just a song on the breeze
              C#
Floating with ease
          G#
Over the seas

[Outro]

Ebm  Bbm   C#  G#
Ebm  Bbm   C#  G#
