Walt Grace's Submarine Test, January 1967
John Mayer
Chords transcribed by PerA.
I've written out the first verse chorus, the rest pretty much repeats itself.
There's a couple of bass lines that I haven't written down, but this should work
for the guitar part.
Capo 4
Intro: |: D - G/B :|
DWalt Grace, desperately hating his Emwhole place
Dreamed to discover a Bmnew space
And buried himself aGlive
Inside his Dbasement, tongue on the side of his Emface meant
He's working away on disBmplacement
AndBm/A what it would take to surGvive
Em 'Cause when you're Em/Bdone with this Aworld
Em You know the Em/Bnext is up to yAou
And his Dwife told his Gkids he was Acrazy
And his Dfriends said he'd Gfail if he Atried
But with a Dwill to work Ghard
And a Bmlibrary Ecard
He took a Ghomemade, fan-blade, Aone-man submarine Dride
That morning the sea was mad and I mean it
Waves as big as he'd seen it deep in his dreams at home
From dry land, he rolled it over to wet sand
Closed the hatch up with one hand
And pedaled off alone
'Cause when you're done with this world
You know the next is up to you
And for once in his life, it was quiet
As he learned how to turn in the tide
And the sky was aflare when he came up for air
In his homemade, fan blade, one-man submarine ride
One evening, when weeks had passed since his leaving
The call she planned on receiving finally made it home
She accepted the news she never expected
The operator connected the call from Tokyo
'Cause when you're done with this world
You know the next is up to you
Now his friends bring him up when they're drinking
At the bar with his name on the side
And they smile when they can, as they speak of the man
Who took a homemade, fan blade, one-man submarine ride
