Next time out to sea
Bring enough soil to bury me
For I don't want my final jig
In the belly of a squid

Next time out to sea
G D
Bring enough soil to bury me
C Bb
For I don't want my final jig
D C Bb A G
In the belly of a squid
G D
Take my trousers take my shirt
G D
Just give me that sweet dirt
C Bb
For the water's cold and grim
D C Bb A G
And I never did learn to swim
G D
No her love never set me free
G D
So I set off for the ocean
C Bb
Now in my dreams she comes to me
D C Bb A G
Whispering of peace
G D
But I've known since the day
G D
That we sailed for Santiago
C Bb
Her dry embrace would kiss my face
D C Bb A G
No never, No more
G C D
The sea is a cruel mistress
G C D
The sea is a cruel mistress
G D G D C Bb D C Bb A G
G D
Many moons to the day
G D
That I threw her love away
C Bb
Now every whale spouts "go to hell"
D C Bb A G
As the wind laughs in my face
G D
I've grown harder on the eyes
G D
And salty to the taste
C Bb
My pride has gone with the wake
D C Bb A G
As I wait a cold wet grave
G D
I rose to the smell
G D
Of a wet desert hell
C Bb
And I thought to myself
D C Bb A G
How'd I wind up in this jail
G D
Till a voice called to me
G D
From deep within the sea
C Bb
Dry your eyes my dear fisherman
D C Bb A G
Your ass belongs to me
G C D
The sea is a cruel mistress
G C D
The sea is a cruel mistress
G D G D C Bb D C Bb A G
G D G D C Bb D C Bb A G
Eb D
The earth will rest my bones
Bb G
Lord I know, Lord I know
Eb D
But I'll see you when I get home
Bb G
From the cold, yeah from the cold
No her love never set me free
So I set out for the ocean
Now in my dreams she comes to me
Whispering of peace
But I've known since the day
That we sailed for Santiago
Her dry embrace would kiss my face
No never, no more
G C D
The sea is a cruel mistress

The sea is a cruel mistress

Next time out to sea

Bring enough soil to bury me

For I don't want my final jig
In the belly of a squid

Next time out to sea
Eb
Bring enough soil to bury me

For in my dreams she comes to me
Whispering of peace

Next time out to sea

Bring enough soil to bury me

For I don't want my final jig

In the belly of a squid!
