[C] [Gm] Where is the fisherman?
Where is the boat?
Where is the keeper in his cage?
Where is the
[C] king
[Gm] of the ninth world?
[C] [G] Twisted [Gm] son of the fog bells roll In each and every lobster cage
He's got a torch, a jewel, and soul [F]
[A#] These are the souls of the broken backers
Sunken slaves of the broken throne That are counting on old guilty promises
These are the souls of [C] the broken child [Gm] These are the [A#]

[Am] I have a wedgie of the brave child's boat The fisherman laughs, grow disturbed at [D] the joke
You [Am] will drink what I drink, but you must stick with [D] me
If [Am] the drink leaves me standing, the soul shall [D] go free
I have a [A] custom of magical [G] winemaking [Am] A vintage but blessed every ship in the [D] line
It's [Am] grown from the blood of sailors who died Young white bodies are dripped in [D] the tide
[Am] Once in it for me, my pretty young [D] queen [Am] Why should I whistle when the cage birds [D] sing?
If you [Am] lose a waiter, the king of the [D] sea You'll spend [Am] the rest of forever in the caves with [D] me
[Am] These are the [C]
soul agents
[Am] These are the [C]
soul [D] agents
[Am] These are the [G]
soul agents
[Am] These are the [D]
soul agents
[Am] A body lies open in the fisherman's yard Like the side of a ship when the iceberg rips
[D] [Am] One less soul in the soul cages [D] One [Am] last curse on the [D] fisherman's lips
[Am] [D]
[Am] These are the [C] soul [D] [Am] [G]

[F] [A] That [D] he dreamed of a ship of [F#m] sea
That would carry his father and [A] me
To [D] a place they could never [F#m] be found
To a place far away from this [A] town
[D]
A blue castle ship without pores
[C#m] They would [E] sail to the island [F#m] of Sol
[B] [F#m]
[B] [F#m]
[A] [B] [F#m]
[B] Sol, he did [F#m] love a soul
And you
[B] [F#m] Love [E] a soul
He did [F#m] love a soul [A] And you
[F#m]
[B] Love a soul
He did [F#m] love a soul

He did love a [A] soul And you
He did love a [B]
