[Verse 1]
Cm
I used to know a
Bm/D
fisherman,
Ab G
who loved to hunt the sea for
Cm
sharks, he'd gut them with a
Bm/D
crooked grin.
G*
And shake their entrails
Ab*
out into the foaming sea!
[Verse 2]
Cm
Then came to pass an
Bm/D
angry turn of fate,
Ab G
A shark capsized his trolling
Cm
boat, the fisherman was
Bm/D
tossed out with his bait,
G*
And felt those dagger teeth
Ab*
sink into his skull!
[Verse 3]
Dbm
The wounds released his
Cm/Eb
blood into the sea,
A Ab
And to he float along with
Dbm
it, the fisherman drew his
Cm/Eb
knife out of his sleeve,
Ab*
And cut the lip-line,
A*
seperating tooth from
[Pre-chorus]
Dbm
gum. He rode the vicous corpse
Cm
Back to the port
Dbm
A crown of shark teeth on his
Cm
head.
Fm
The long shoremen
Cm
in fear and awe they called him
G*
Devil, called him God,
Ab*
and they called him
[Chorus]

Cm
Andy!
Fm
With a knife at his

finger tips,
Ab G
Princess
Cm
Andy! He'll
Ab G
cut a smile on your
[Verse 4]
Cm
lips. I met him in a
Bm/D
bar that night,
Ab G
and he was sodden as a
Cm
fish. He offered me a
Bm/D
sip of squid and gin, he said
G*
"Let's celebrate! The
Ab*
Devil wants us all to
[Verse 5]
Dbm
live!" And we went weepin' through the
Cm/Eb
empty avenue,
A Ab
as of our tenants(?) bolt the
Dbm
doors. I bade farewell 'cause I was
Cm/Eb
leaving port at noon, he said "Po-
Ab*
seidon plays the fates I bet we'll
A*
see eachother soon."
[Pre-chorus]
Dbm
I walked the trolley tracks
Cm
back to my room,
Dbm
a fog creeping in like a
Cm
barge.
Fm
I watched the canal waters
Cm
stretching out the moon.
G*
Curling its reflection like the
Ab*
friendly disposition of
[Chorus]
Ab G
Princess
Cm
Andy!
Fm
With a knife at his
G Ab
finger tips,
Ab G
Princess
Cm
Andy! He'll
Ab G
cut a smile on your
[Verse 6]
Cm
lips. A cataract sun and
Bm/D
ravens on the sail.
Ab G
As we pulled anchor from the
Cm
docks, by afternoon the
Bm/D
sky was spewing hail, the
G*
captain went right overboard up-
Ab*
ended by the gale!
[Verse 7]
Dbm
I heard the main mast
Cm/Eb
groan before it tipped.
A Ab
Sails akimbo, as it
Dbm
fell, and drove the deck into the
Cm/Eb
belly of the ship. Waves
Ab*
swarmed us like hyenas,
A*
scrapping for a carcass, and
[Pre-chorus]
Dbm
I woke floating as the
Cm
first mooon beam
Dbm
fell onto Andy's silver
Cm
smile.
Fm
His face grew dim as the
Cm
blades slipped from his teeth. He
G*
grabbed my outstreched hand,
Ab*
Ohhh
[Chorus]
Ab G
Princess
Cm
Andy!
Fm
With a knife at his
G Ab
finger tips,
Ab G
Princess
Cm
Andy! He'll
Ab G
cut a smile on your
[Verse 8]
Cm
lips. A body floats in the
Bm/D
water strange and pink.
Ab G
Sharks are angling for a
Cm
meal and he's there too
Bm/D
stroking all their fins.
