Mark Knopfler - Sky and water

There’s^Bm only sky and ^Dwater As far as we can ^Gsee You came in a ^Adream last night Dear ^Gheart, you spoke to ^Ame There’s^Bm only sky and ^Dwater And never so a^Glone When we cut the c^Aaptain loose We cut all ties with ^Dhome Lord, we ^Acut all ties with ^Dhome

We ^Bmlet the tyrant ^Ddrift away In one of his own ^Gboats I don’t know why I ^Astopped the hands From ^Ggoing for his ^Athroat ^BmEvery man did ^Dcurse the day He signed up for the ^Gtrip And every man did ^Aknow This was no way to run a ^Dship Lord, no ^Away to run a ^Dship

Good ^Bmriddance to his bitter ^Dsoul And now we have the ^Gbrig It’s sure we’ll not be ^Asailing home To ^Gdance the hempen ^Ajig There’s^Bm only sky and ^Dwater We sleep and dream of ^Gland But free of chains of ^Airon And the captain’s iron ^Dhand Lord, the ^Acaptain’s iron ^Dhand

He ^Bmlashed me to a g^Drating For the nine claws of the ^Gcat And now I have a ^Afever But ^GI give no thought to ^Athat I am ^Bmhigh over the ^Dwater I sleep and dream of ^Gland Free of chains of ^Airon And the captain’s iron ^Dhand Lord, the ^Acaptain’s iron ^Dhand
