Shark Fin Blues

The Drones

x2 Standing on the deck I watch my shadow stretch The sun pours my shadow upon that deck The waters licking round my ankles now There ain't no sunshine way way down I see the sharks are in the water like slicks of ink Well, there's one there bigger than a submarine As he circles I look in his eye I see Jonah in his belly by the campfire light Oh, an albatross up in the windy lofts He's beating his wings while he sleeps it off I hear the jettisoned cries from his dreams unkind Yeah they're whippin' my ears like a riding crop The captain once as able as a fink dandy He's now laid up in the galley like a dried out mink He's laying dying of thirst and he says or I think Well, we're gonna be alone from here on in Well you're all my brothers, and you have been kind But what were you expecting to find? Now your eyes turn inwards, countenance turns blank And I'm floating away on a barrel of pain It looks like nothing but the sea and sky oh remain Solo: X 4 I sing na na nana nananana na Na na nana nananana na (Na na's X 4) A harpoon's shaft is short and wide A grappling hook's is cracked and dry I said, why don't you get down in the sea Turn the water red like you want to be? Cause if I cry another tear I'll be turned to dust No the sharks won't get me they don't feel loss Just keep one eye on the horizon man, you best not blink They're coming fin by fin until the whole boat sinks Fin by fin Fin by fin Fin by fin Fin by fin by fin by fin FIN :-) Note: chord slid up to the 7th fret. chord slid up to the 9th fret. Like in Travelling Wilbury's "End of the line".
