Shiver Me Timbers (T.Waits)
-----------------
Gb Cb/Db
I'm leaving my family
Gbleaving all my Ebm7friends
Gbmy body's at Ab7home
Abm9/Gb Db7
but my hearts in the wind
Gb Cb/Db
where the clouds are like headlines
on a Gbnew frontpage Ebm7sky
my Gbtears are salt Ab7water
Abm9/Gb Db7 Gb
and the moons full and high
And I know Martin Eden's
gonna be proud of me
many before me
has been drawn by the sea
To be up in the crow's nest
singing my say
Shiver me Timbers
as I'm sailing away
----- Ebm7
/Now the fog's lifting
D7/Bb
and the sand's shifting
Gb/Cb Ab9
I'm drifting on out
Old captain Ahab
he ain't got Db7sus4nothing onDb7 me
So swallow me , follow me
I'm travelling alone
Blue waters my daughter
I'm gonna skip like a stone
---------
so please call my misses
tell her not to cry
'cause my googbye is written
by the moon in the sky
Nobody knows me
I can't fathom my stayin'
shiver me timbers
as I'm sailing away
------
/Now the fogs liftin'......
------
I'm leaving my family
leaving all my friends
my body's at home
but my hearts in the wind
where the clouds are like headlines
on a new frontpage sky
shiver me timbers
as I'm sailing goodbye........
