Capo on 2nd fret
[Intro]
D E A A/G#
F#m E D E A
[Verse]
D E A
I sailed my boat into Mobile harbor
D E A
Stopped by the marina to have a beer
D E A A/G#
There a table full of empty glasses
F#m E
Sat a man in a wrinkled suit
D E
And a three mile stare
[Verse]
D E A
He lit up a cigarette and waved me over
D E A
Asked me if the boat I was sailing was mine
D E A A/G#
Said that he was looking for a charter
F#m E
And all he needed was a minute
D E
Of my time
[Chorus]
D E
Said I wanna take your boat as far as it goes
A A/G#
Feel Jamaican sand between my toes
F#m E
I wanna ride on the wind
D E
Just as far as I can
D E
I won't be any trouble at all
A A/G#
I can sleep anywhere at all
F#m E D
And I don't eat very much
E A
For a hollow man
[Verse]
D E A
Said he'd ran a business in Oklahoma
D E A
Came home to find his wife all packed
D E A A/G#
She took him for everything, his cars and his home
F#m E
She even took the confidence
D E
He lacked
[Verse]
D E A
Decided to head to head down to the ocean
D E A
Cause it was something he'd never seen
D E A A/G#
Something inside him hoped the salt air and the sun
F#m E
Could wash away a life
D E
That might have been
[Chorus]
D E
Said I wanna take your boat as far as it goes
A A/G#
Feel Jamaican sand between my toes
F#m E
I wanna ride on the wind
D E
Just as far as I can
D E
I won't be any trouble at all
A A/G#
I can sleep anywhere at all
F#m E D
And I don't eat very much
E A
For a hollow man
[Verse]
D E A
Paid me $300 and he said he'd bring the rest
D E A
When he met me here on Tuesday at 5
D E A A/G#
Don't know what became of him because he never showed
F#m E
But I still can't get his words
D E
Out of my mind
[Chorus]
D E
Said I wanna take your boat as far as it goes
A A/G#
Feel Jamaican sand between my toes
F#m E
I wanna ride on the wind
D E
Just as far as I can
D E
I won't be any trouble at all
A A/G#
I can sleep anywhere at all
F#m E D
And I don't eat very much
E A
For a hollow man
F#m E D
He said I don't eat very much
E A
For a hollow man
E A/G#
I'm a hollow man
