[C] _ [Gm] The _ _ _ _ [C] _

_ _ _ [Gm] _ _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ moor child is locked in the fisherman's yard,
[Gm] A bloodless moon where the oceans dry.
[C] _ _ [G] The show of night stars hang far in [C] their nets,
And the [Gm] chaos of cages where the [C] crayfish lie.
[G] Where is the fisherman?
Where is [C] the boat?
[Gm] Where is the keeper and his [C] carrying coat?
_ [Gm] Eclipse on the moon [D] when the dark [F] bird flies,
[Gm] Where is the child with his [C] father's eye? _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ He's the king of [Gm] the ninth [C] world,
_ _ [G] Twisted son of the fog bells toll,
In [Gm] each and every _ [C] lobster cage,
A [G] tortured human [C] soul. _
_ _ [A#] These are the souls of the broken factories,
_ Subject slaves have been broken from,
_ That are counted on old history promises.
These are the souls of the [C] broken _ _ [Gm] towns.
These are [A#] the soul [C] _ _ [Gm] cages.
_ _ [A#] _ _
[C] _ _ _ [Gm] _ These are [A#] the [C] soul cages.

_ _ [Am] I will wedge up the brave [D] child's smoke,
The [Am] fisherman laughed,
Both 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.
[Am] I have here a castamouf,
Magical [D] winemaking,
[Am] A vintage but blessed every ship in the [D] line.
It's [A] grown from the blood of [Am] the sailors who [D] died.
[Am] Young white bodies are dripped in [D] the tide,
[Am] Was it for me, my pretty young [D] thing?
[Am] Why should I whistle when the cage birds [D] sing?
If you [Am] lose a wager,
You're the king of the [D] sea,
You'll spend [Am] the rest of forever in the cage [D] with me.
_ [Am] _ These are the soul [D] cages.
[Am] _ These [C] are the [D] soul cages.
_ [Am] _ These are the soul [D] cages.
_ [Am] _ These [C] are the soul [D] cages.
A [Am] body lies open in the fisherman's yard,
Like a side of a ship on the iceberg [D] rips.
_ [Am] One less soul in the soul [C] cages, _
[D] _ [Am] One last curse on [D] the fisherman's lip.
[Am] _ These [C] are the soul [D] cages.
_ [Am] _ These [C] are the soul [D]
cages.
[Am] _ These [C] are the soul cages.
_ [F#] _ These [F] are the soul [Am] cages.
_ These [C] are the soul cages.
[F#] _ _ These [F] are the soul cages.
[A] _ _ _ [D] I'm the king of the ship [F#m] on the sea,
_ Edward carries father [A] and me,
[D] To a place they could [C#m] never be [F#m] found,
To a place far away from [A] this town.
_ [Em] _ _ [D]
Newcastle's ship [Bm] without [A] foes,
[D] They will sail [E] to the island [F#m] of souls. _ _ _ _
