Tom Waits
Gb
I'm leaving my
Cb/Db
family
Gb
leaving all my
Ebm7
friends
Gb
my body's at
Ab7
home
but my
Abm9/Gb
hearts in the
Db7
wind
where the
Gb
clouds are like
Cb/Db
headlines
on a
Gb
new frontpage
Ebm7
sky
my
Gb
tears are salt
Ab7
water
that
Abm9/Gb
comes to
Db7
my ey
Gb
es
And I know Martin Eden's
gonna be proud of me
many before me
has been drawn by the sea
To be up in the crow's nest
singing my say
Shiver me Timbers
as I'm sailing away
Chorus
/Now the
Ebm7
fog's lifting
and the
D7/Bb
sand's shifting
I'm
Gb/Cb
drifting on
Ab9
out
Old captain Ahab
he ain't got
Db7sus4
nothing on
Db7
me
#repeat chords as above
So swallow me , follow me
I'm travelling alone
Blue waters my daughter
I'm gonna skip like a stone
so please call my misses
tell her not to cry
'cause my goodbye is written
by the moon in the sky
Nobody knows me
I can't fathom my stayin'
shiver me timbers
as I'm sailing away
Now the fogs liftin'......
I'm leaving my family
leaving all my friends
my body's at home
but my hearts with the wind
where the clouds are like headlines
on a new frontpage sky
shiver me timbers
as I'm sailing goodbye........
