CmAnd the sailors, they sing sad songs,
FmAbout the sea that eats them whole.
CmAnd the sailors they sing sad songs,
FmFood for fishes shoals.
FmAnd the wind it blows inland,
CmAnd the death you can smell.
FmSmashed on rocks and smashed on boulders,
CmSmashed in living Ghell.
CmAnd their loved ones wait for hours,
FmAwait the fate of the cruel sea
CmAnd if loved ones don't return,
FmThere's no security.
FmJust the work-house when they grow old,
CmTo lay their weary heads,
FmAnd the sound of the sea singing
CmUntil they are Gdead.
CmAnd the sea that bears its harvest
FmIt exacts a heavy toll,
CmMothers, fathers, brothers, uncles,
FmWith no corpses to behold.
FmSailing out into the darkness,
CmEvery day of the year.
FmSailing out into the darkness,
CmWith a prayer, and with Gfear
And with fCmear,
With a prayer, and with Gfear.
And with fCmear.

Chords in this song · guitar

And the sailors, they sing sad songs,

About the sea that eats them whole.

And the sailors they sing sad songs,

Food for fishes shoals.

And the wind it blows inland,

And the death you can smell.

Smashed on rocks and smashed on boulders,

Cm G

Smashed in living hell.

And their loved ones wait for hours,

Await the fate of the cruel sea

And if loved ones don't return,

There's no security.

Just the work-house when they grow old,

To lay their weary heads,

And the sound of the sea singing

Cm G

Until they are dead.

And the sea that bears its harvest

It exacts a heavy toll,

Mothers, fathers, brothers, uncles,

With no corpses to behold.

Sailing out into the darkness,

Every day of the year.

Sailing out into the darkness,

Cm G

With a prayer, and with fear

And with fear,

With a prayer, and with fear.

And with fear.
