Standard tuning
From the album "Spirits of the Sea"
(Harmonica accompanies into)
G Em G Em G Em C D G
[Verse 1]
G Em
Breaking waters call out
G Em
far beyond the darkened rim
G Em
cry the seabirds of the sky
C D G
calling out to guide me in
[Verse 2]
G Em
As the storm holds up
G Em
a midnight goddess shows the way
G Em
my chest of booty is full to the brim
C D G
and a woman waits for me
[Chorus]
C G
So, put your money on the barrel
Am C G C
Rum and 'bakki on the quay
G
put your money on the barrel
Am C D G
and drink to the spirits of the sea
[Verse 3]
G Em
Grab a hold of your tankards
G Em
and raise a beer for the past
G Em
call the devil or whom you wish
C D G
and never cower from a fight or we're lost
C D G
never cower from a fight or we're lost
I can only find a live version of the band doing this acousticly
...but then, it should never be played or sang sober! ;)
