Intro: 
 B           E B E    B                   E    B E
Down by the sea,   I found your hidden treasure 
 B            E B E    B             E     B E
Just you and me,   we overdosed on pleasure
 B              E  B E        B              E    B E
Yonnies in the wind,  we're ruggin' up for winter
 B               E  B E    B              E     B E
Putting out the bins,  in cold and windy weather
 B           E   B E      B              E      B E
Down by the docks,  live all the silent seaships
  B                    E   B E       B            E       B E
Crates are stored on blocks,  where now only the rats live
 G/D                    G/D                F#m7   Em9             G       Esus          C#m7  A
Sail me down the river, till we reach the shore, diving into the center, eating out the core
 B            E  B E    B              E    B E
Down on the beach,   saluting Captain Benbow
 B             E           B
                 NC                                   
Always out of reach,   it's quiet when the tide's low
  B               E   B E B               E        B E
Climbing up the cliffs,  you can see for miles far
     B               E             B E    B              E     B E
The boat that ran adrift, to the oh,  is sitting on the sandbar
 G/D                         G/D             F#m7      Em9            G         Esus              C#m7
Laughing at the waves, that storm the river mouth, the ice is on the move now, creeping north and south

Solo:         (   ) x8
 B           E B E   B                  E      B E

Listen to your heart, screamin' at the sky, can't you feel it tremble?  don't you wonder why?
