[Bm] [F#m] [Bm]
[D] [Bm]
Get the rocks in the box, [D] get the water right down to your [A] [F#m] socks, this bulkhead's built
of fallen brethren [Bm] bones.
We all do what we can, [D] we endure [A] our fellow man, [F#m] and we sing our songs to the [A] headframe
[Bm] troops and moles.
[G] And it's one, two, three, [D] on the wrong side of the lee, [A] what were you meant for?
What were [Bm] you meant for?
And [G] it's seven, eight, nine, you get [D] your shuffle back in line, [A] and if you ever make
it to ten you won't make [Bm] it again, [A] and if you ever [A#] make it to ten you won't [Bm] make it again.
[E] [Bm]
And you won't make a dime on this [D] gray ground in my [A] mind, [F#m] of dirt you remain and the dirt
you [Bm] will return.
So while we're living here, [D] let's get this little [A] one thing clear, [F#m] there's plenty of
men to die, don't jump your [Bm] turn.
And [G] it's one, two, three, on [D] the wrong side of the lee, what were [A] you meant for?
What [Bm] were you meant for?
And [G] it's seven, eight, nine, you get [D] your shuffle back in line, [A] and if you ever make
it to ten you won't [Bm] make it again, [A] and if you ever make it to [A#] ten you [Bm] won't make it again.
[A] [F#m] [Bm]
[A] [F#m]
[Bm] [F#m] [G] And it's one, two, three, on the [D] wrong side of the lee, what [A] were you meant for?
[Bm] Whatever you're meant for.
[G] And it's seven, eight, nine, you get your [D] shuffle back in line, [F#m] and if you ever make
it to ten you won't make it [Bm] again, [A] and if you ever make it [F#] to ten [Bm] you won't make it
again.
[A] And if you ever [F#] make it to ten [Bm] you won't make it again.
