CIs your jGewellery still Dlost in the sCand
Out on the cGoast,  Dor rushed into the brCine?
You left your rGings   Don the sChoreline
So you wouldn't lGose them  Dswimming in the sChallows
   DA plastic sGhovel, soft sweaty cCmaj7hildren far from home
   DOn vacGation not unCmaj7like your very own
CAnd the captain howdy Glit  Dupon my sChoulder
And he left me with sGulphur   Dand rooms full of hCeadaches
I fell in with sGnakes   Din the poisoned ranks of strCangers
Please send me mGore yellow bDirds for the dim intCerior
DWill my pGony recognCmaj7ise my voice in hell?
DWill he sGtill be blind, or dCmaj7o they go by smell?
DWill you prGomise not to rCmaj7est me out at sea
DBut on a fGiery river bCmaj7oat that's rickety?
DI'll never fGind my pony Cmaj7along the rolling swell
DA muddy rGiver or a lCmaj7ake would do me well
DWith hints of Gamber sundowns and mCmaj7oody thunderstorms
A sGunken barge's horns, with the cCmaj7old rusty bellsD

Cmaj7

C G D C

Is your jewellery still lost in the sand

G D C

Out on the coast, or rushed into the brine?

G D C

You left your rings on the shoreline

G D C

So you wouldn't lose them swimming in the shallows

D G Cmaj7

A plastic shovel, soft sweaty children far from home

D G Cmaj7

On vacation not unlike your very own

C G D C

And the captain howdy lit upon my shoulder

G D C

And he left me with sulphur and rooms full of headaches

G D C

I fell in with snakes in the poisoned ranks of strangers

G D C

Please send me more yellow birds for the dim interior

D G Cmaj7

Will my pony recognise my voice in hell?

D G Cmaj7

Will he still be blind, or do they go by smell?

D G Cmaj7

Will you promise not to rest me out at sea

D G Cmaj7

But on a fiery river boat that's rickety?

D G Cmaj7

I'll never find my pony along the rolling swell

D G Cmaj7

A muddy river or a lake would do me well

D G Cmaj7

With hints of amber sundowns and moody thunderstorms

G Cmaj7 D

A sunken barge's horns, with the cold rusty bells
