In the Kurgansi, he sank straight down, [G] headed forty feet [A] below.
[Gm] [D]
[Em] A shaman of coal, and the world went [A] dark, he struggled to [E] swim all sea.
A runaway boat, or a great white shark, [G] no one near to set [A] him free.
Swallowed by [Am] a shark, will my family [D] know?
Will [C#m] I wash [G] ashore, discovered by a fisherman, returning with a dive?
Or [D] will [Em] I disappear from deep below, like all those before,
an everlost sailor in a [A]
cautionary tale?
[G] Swallowed by [Em] a whale.
