Intro: Am Fm Am Fm 

Verse 1: 

Am                         Fm 
I crewed on a fair golden ship that 
     Am                          Fm 
went down at the dawn of the world 
      Am                       Fm 
We mutinied had sentenced our captain to die 
           Am                 Fm 
'fore our sails had barely unfurled  
  
Break:

Verse 2: 
       
   Am                     Fm 
We sank shortly after our riot,  
         Am                       Fm 
Wanton flames and our powder kegs met 
         Am                      Fm 
While I swam for my life became voices aloft,  
 Am                     Fm     
joyful, unearthly, and dread 
 

   C    E7   Dm      Am   Dm       E7   F 
      C         E7       Dm       Am       Dm      E7  Fm 
That one would give his life      to      save his enemies 


Verse 3: 

     Am                        Fm 
Too bone tired to keep my arms moving 
    Am                         Fm 
To swim or even grasp out for straws 
Am                    Fm     
Undertow drew me down into its cold  
      Am             Fm 
and infinite, indigo jaws 

Bridge:  

 G        F                    G        F 
Ooh, ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh     
 G        F                    G       Dm  
Ooh, ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh     



         C    E7   Dm      Am   Dm       E7   F 
      C         E7       Dm       Am       Dm      E7  Fm 
That one would give his life      to      save his enemies 


Verse 4: 

 Am                         Fm 
Thought I must be dead or dreaming 
         Am                      Fm 
When my captain still battered, betrayed 
          Am                   Fm 
Pulled me up, laid me over the beam he clung to 
             Am                      Fm 
Breathed his last and sank under the waves 

Outro: 

     Am         Fm     Am               Fm 
Your body is a bridge across an endless sea 
     Am         Fm     Am               Fm  
Your body is a bridge across an endless
