Shiver Me Timbers by Tom Waits
INTRO:
G C G Em7
G A7 Am D7
G C G Em7
I'm leaving my family leaving all my friends
G A7 Am D7
My body's at home but my hearts in the wind
G C G Em7
Where the clouds are like headlines on a new front page sky
G A7 Am D7 G
My tears are salt water and the moons full and high
G C G Em7
And I know Martin Eden's gonna be proud of me
G A7 Am D7
Many before me have been drawn by the sea
G C G Em7
To be up in the crow's nest singing my say
G A7 Am D7 G
Shiver me Timbers as I'm sailing away
CHORUS:
Em B7
Now the fog's lifting and the sand's shifting
G A7
I'm drifting on out
D7sus4 D7
Old captain Ahab he ain't got nothing on me
Em B7
So swallow me , follow me
G A7
I'm travelling alone
D7sus4 D7
Blue waters my daughter I'm gonna skip like a stone
G C G Em7
So please call my misses tell her not to cry
G A7 Am D7
Cause my goodbye is written by the moon in the sky
G C G Em7
Nobody knows me I can't fathom my stayin'
G A7 Am D7 G
Shiver me timbers as I'm sailing away
(CHORUS)
G C G Em7
I'm leaving my family leaving all my friends
G A7 Am D7
My body's at home but my hearts in the wind
G C G Em7
Where the clouds are like headlines on a new front page sky
G A7 Am D7 G
Shiver me timbers as I'm sailing away
END
