Derelict
This song doesn't actually use a guitar but you can strum along and sing it using this tonality.
C#I dropped my anchor in the dead of F#night
I packed my suitcase and threw it Abaway
C#I fell asleep in the funeral F#fire
I gave my clothes to the police Abman
C#Blow back derelict Bwind, lay my Absoul in the foul of the C#air
Blow back derelict wind, lay my soul in the foul of the air
Shooting venom at the passers-by
Hijackers tie the heavens down
I put my eyes in a paper bag
I'm spinning round like a gambling wheel
Blow back derelict wind, lay my soul in the foul of the air
Blow back derelict wind, lay my soul in the foul of the air
I dropped my anchor in the dead of night
I packed my suitcase and threw it away
I fell asleep in the funeral fire
I gave my clothes to the police man
Blow back derelict wind, lay my soul in the foul of the air
Blow back derelict wind, lay my soul in the foul of the air
