Sky And Water
Tuning: E A D G B E
Key: D
[Intro]
Bm D G A D A D
[Verse 1]
Bm D
There’s only sky and water
G
As far as we can see
A
You came in a dream last night
G A
Dear heart, you spoke to me
Bm D
There’s only sky and water
G
And never so alone
A
When we cut the captain loose
D
We cut all ties with home
A D
Lord, we cut all ties with home
[Verse 2]
Bm D
We let the tyrant drift away
G
In one of his own boats
A
I don’t know why I stopped the hands
G A
From going for his throat
Bm D
Every man did curse the day
G
He signed up for the trip
A
And every man did know
D
This was no way to run a ship
A D
Lord, no way to run a ship
[Instrumental 1]
Bm D G A G A
Bm D G A D A D
[Verse 3]
Bm D
Good riddance to his bitter soul
G
And now we have the brig
A
It’s sure we’ll not be sailing home
G A
To dance the hempen jig
Bm D
There’s only sky and water
G
We sleep and dream of land
A
But free of chains of iron
D
And the captain’s iron hand
A D
Lord, the captain’s iron hand
[Instrumental 2]
Bm D G A G A
Bm D G A D A D
[Verse 4]
Bm D
He lashed me to a grating
G
For the nine claws of the cat
A
And now I have a fever
G A
But I give no thought to that
Bm D
I am high over the water
G
I sleep and dream of land
A
Free of chains of iron
D
And the captain’s iron hand
A D
Lord, the captain’s iron hand
[Outro]
