Buried in the Waves by Gregory Alan Isakov
Lyrics are from his most recent recorded perfomance of this.
Capo 3
[Intro]
Fmaj7AmEm
   x3
Fmaj7
[Verse 1]
          Am                   E
Well the wind went west, she poured my drink,
   Fmaj7                  C
Stumbled 'neath the stars on home
          Am                     E
Couldn't find no love from the angels above
        Fmaj7            C
Nor the devil down below
   Am                    E
Through all the sorrow, I learned to barrow
 Fmaj7                    C
A song from the blackest crow
             Am                     E
Through the wind and the hail, we fumbled and failed
 Fmaj7         C  Fmaj7          G
Steady as we go, steady as we go
[Pre-Chorus]
           Fmaj7           C
And these amulets falling days
            G           Am
For you I'd safely, save
        Fmaj7                     C                G
And the love of the girl, she's holding precious pearls,
               Am                   Fmaj7 C G Am
Buried in the waves, buried in the waves
Fmaj7 C
[Verse 2]
          Am                  E
And the hurricane came, and borrowed my name,
Fmaj7                     C
Scold when she clipped my wings
         Am                         E
Neither rich nor the poor couldn't find no cure
Fmaj7             C
For these sort of things
Am                       E
We moved along, like a bed time song,
Fmaj7            C
Quiet and holy and slow
     Am                    E
We tossed our backs, we tightened our straps,
 Fmaj7         C  Fmaj7          E
Steady as we go, steady as we go
[Chorus]
  Am     Fmaj7  C        G
Alright, okay, now I know
             Am          Fmaj7       C             G
Here in the hands of the hands that roll the bones
       Am                        G             C   E
That water, she's high, and the only one who knows
           Am           E         Fmaj7       C    Fmaj7 C
She will swallow us, swallow us, swallow us whole
Fmaj7AmEm
    x3
Fmaj7
[Verse 3]
          Am                 E
Well the hills of gold, so haunted now
       Fmaj7                     C
Found comfort near the firelight
           Am              E
All the stories we told, turned us cold
 Fmaj7          G
Nothing's right
 Am                   E
Now we're lost, we're lost in flame
      Fmaj7                     C
Made a map from the power lines
        Am                     E
Oh the city down below in the factory smoke
 Fmaj7           C
The words shined
 Fmaj7           G
Steady as we die
[Pre-Chorus]
           Fmaj7           C
And these amulets falling days,
            G           Am
For you I'd safely, save
         Fmaj7                    C                G
And the love of the girl, she's holding precious pearls,
               Am                   Fmaj7 C G
Buried in the waves, buried in
Fmaj7AmEm
      x3
Fmaj7
[Chorus]
  Am     Fmaj7  C         G
Alright, okay, now I know
             Am          Fmaj7      C             G
Here in the hands of the hands that roll the bones
          Am                        G             C   E
And that water she's high, and the only one who knows
           Am       E      Fmaj7       C    Fmaj7 C
She will swallow, swallow, swallow us whole
           Am       E      Fmaj7       C    Fmaj7 C
She will swallow, swallow, swallow us whole
           Am       E      Fmaj7       C
She will swallow, swallow, swallow us whole
[Outro]
C
