Capo on 2 fret.
[Verse]
Fmaj7                    E
In a sea of faces, in a sea of doubt
G                                         E
In this cruel place your voice above the maelstrom
Fmaj7                                    E
In the wake of this ship of fools I'm falling further down
G                           E
If you can see me, Marian, reach out and take me home.....
[Chorus]
Fmaj7                E
I hear you calling Marian
G                         E
Across the water, across the wave
Fmaj7                 E
I hear you calling Marian
G                                 E
Can you hear me calling you to
Save me, save me, save me from the 
Fmaj7    E
Grave...
         Fmaj7   E
Marian, 
Marian, 
[Verse 2]
Fmaj7
There's a weight above me
               E
And the pressure is all too strong
G
To breathe deep, breathe long and hard
     E
To take the water down and go to sleep
Fmaj7                                    E
To sink still further beneath the fatal wave
G
Marian I think I'm drowning
E
This sea is killing me
[Chorus]
Fmaj7                 E
I hear you calling Marian
G                         E
Across the water, across the wave
Fmaj7                E
I hear you calling Marian
G                                 E
Can you hear me calling you to
Save me, save me, save me from the 
Fmaj7    E
Grave...
Marian, Marian.
