[Verse]
G
At night a thunder's rising
G
Huge like it never was before
D
Then our ship is riding
D
Let's pray for all the accursed souls
G
Where is my sweet lil' liar?
G
When it's all breaking down and sink
D
Losing her feels too dire
D
I realized she disappeared
[Pre-Chorus]
G
Ooh, my Sharona,
G
Ooh, my Sharona's gone
D
Ooh, my Sharona,
D
Ooh, my Sharona's gone
G
Ooh, my Sharona,
G
Ooh, my Sharona's gone
D
Ooh, my Sharona,
D
Ooh, my Sharona's gone
[Chorus]
D# Bb
You cried a river when I had to go
D G F
Burned down the house to the ground in the town's barrio
D# Bb
I had to take you and come along the way
D G F
You pushed me to hell and I know it's where I don't wanna stay
D# Bb F
And I still don't know what else to say
D G
Just freak out and see the game you play
[Verse]
G
It was a goddam night when
G
I took my tiny cabin boy
D
Smuggling you in disguise and
D
I feared she'd be all sailors' toy
G
Hoped it would last forever
G
But I saw every single time
D
She was so nice and tender
D
Loved everyone like I was blind
[Pre-Chorus]
G
Ooh, my Sharona,
G
Ooh, my Sharona's gone
D
Ooh, my Sharona,
D
Ooh, my Sharona's gone
G
Ooh, my Sharona,
G
Ooh, my Sharona's gone
D
Ooh, my Sharona,
D
Ooh, my Sharona's gone
[Chorus]
D# Bb
You cried a river when I had to go
D G F
Burned down the house to the ground in the town's barrio
D# Bb
I had to take you and come along the way
D G F
You pushed me to hell and I know it's where I don't wanna stay
D# Bb F
And I still don't know what else to say
D G
Just freak out and see the game you play
[Interlude]
The first two lines are clean except for the last D
and after that it's with distorsion the same way as in the chorus.
