[Cm] And the sailors, they sing sad [D] songs, Out the sea that eats them whole.
[Cm] And the sailors, they sing sad [G] songs, [D]
Food for fishes' [Fm]
shoals.
And the wind, it blows in [Cm] land, The death you can [Eb]
smell.
[Fm] Smashed on rocks and smashed on [Cm] borders, Smashed in living [G] hell.
[G]
[Cm] And their loved ones wait for
[D] hours, Wait the fate of the cruel sea.
[Cm] And if loved ones don't [D] return, There's no security.
[Fm] Just the war caps when they grow [Cm] old, To lay their weary heads,
[Fm] And the sound of the sea singing,
[Cm]
Until they
[G] are dead.
[Cm] And the sea that bears its harvest, [D] It exerts a heavy toll.
[Cm] Lovers, fathers, brothers, uncles, [D] With no corpses to behold,
[Fm]
Sailing out into the [Cm] darkness, Every day of the year.
[Fm] Sailing out into the [Cm]
darkness, With a prayer and [G] with fear.
And [Cm] with fear, with a prayer [G]
and with fear.
[Dm] And [Cm] with fear.
