C#m  C  A#  C  C#m  G#  C#  D#

VERSE 1 
C#m                 C
 In the wake of his chariot
A#                   C
 You swam toward the latitudes
C#m          G#
 Leaving for happier times
C#       D#
 Florida far behind
C#m          C
 Trying your best you were 
A#            C
 Ignoring the rescuers
C#m            G#
 You'd gone so very long
C#           D# 
 You were so very strong

BRIDGE
Cm                F
 The scene was so tragic
Cm                C#    (G#)
 But that was the magic

CHORUS
D#        A#
 Will you never drown?
G#        G
 Will you learn to use
D#        A#                  G           G#
 Some forgotten part, some forgotten part?
D#         A#
 Are you going down 
G#          G       
 Where the ballyhoos
D#       G#      A#  D#
 and the tritons are?
         G#       G
 And the tritons are

 C#  Cm  A#m  Cm  C#  G#  C#m  D#

VERSE 2
C#             Cm
 You were so incredible
A#m              Cm
 Finding all the edible
C#            G#
 Prize of the sea, 
C#m           D#
 Prize of the sea


VERSE 3 (acoustic guitar is a twelve string i think)

C#m                 C
 In the wake of his chariot
A#                   C 
 You swam toward the latitudes
C#m          G#
 Leaving for happier times
C#       D#
 Florida far behind


BRIDGE
Cm              F
 In division pelagic
Cm            C#    G#
 You were choragic


CHORUS
D#        A#
 Will you never drown?
G#        G
 Will you learn to use
D#        A#                  G           G#
 Some forgotten part, some forgotten part?
D#         A#
 Are you going down 
G#          G       
 Where the ballyhoos
D#       G#      A#  D#
 and the tritons are?
         G#      A#  D#
 and the tritons are?
         G#      A#  G  D#
 And the tritons are
