Sometimes I Dfeel like Fletcher ChrGistian
Staring out Dacross the Asea
Torn apart Dby duty's shGackles
The twisted Dtongues Aof loyalDty
Well I sucked hard on every Gpleasure
Till my Dhead began to Aspin
He'll choose beDtween the whip and Gfeather
And that is Dwhere Ahis crimes Dbegin
Sometimes I Gfeel like Fletcher DChristian
In paraAdise with the tables Dturned
Yes, and I can feel the tattooist's Gneedle
I feel my Dneck Aand ankles Dburn
Those South Sea isles are cold and Gbarren
But this civil Dwar's been good to Ame
Well, we took Ddrugs and tore our Guniforms
And gave our Dcaptain Aup to the Dsea
Sometimes I Gfeel like Fletcher DChristian
Twisting Aoff the serpent's Dhead
For the mutiny, I'll shoot the Gbig one
Hot and Dhungry, Afar from Dhome
Through the sun and sea, my skin is Gpeeling
But it don't Dmake the pictures Afade
Those shapes and Dsymbols, I know their Gmeaning
The shameless Driches Afrom another Dworld
If I return, they're sure to Ghang me
So I Dguess, I'll have to Astay
And if I should Dcroak out in the darGkness
No one will Dknow AI've gone awDay.

Sometimes I feel like Fletcher Christian

Staring out across the sea

D G

Torn apart by duty's shackles

D A D

The twisted tongues of loyalty

Well I sucked hard on every pleasure

D A

Till my head began to spin

He'll choose between the whip and feather

D A D

And that is where his crimes begin

G D

Sometimes I feel like Fletcher Christian

A D

In paradise with the tables turned

Yes, and I can feel the tattooist's needle

D A D

I feel my neck and ankles burn

Those South Sea isles are cold and barren

D A

But this civil war's been good to me

D G

Well, we took drugs and tore our uniforms

D A D

And gave our captain up to the sea

G D

Sometimes I feel like Fletcher Christian

Twisting off the serpent's head

For the mutiny, I'll shoot the big one

D A D

Hot and hungry, far from home

Through the sun and sea, my skin is peeling

But it don't make the pictures fade

D G

Those shapes and symbols, I know their meaning

The shameless riches from another world

If I return, they're sure to hang me

So I guess, I'll have to stay

And if I should croak out in the darkness

D A D

No one will know I've gone away.
