Shark Fin Blues

D  D  C  D  A/C#  x2 
 
Bm / D 
 
A					Em	D/F# 
Standing on the deck I watch my shadow stretch 
G				D 
The sun pours my shadow upon that deck  
A					Em  D/F# 
The waters licking round my ankles now  
G				D 
There ain't no sunshine way way down  
 
A					Em	D/F# 
I see the sharks are in the water like slicks of ink  
G				D 
Well, there's one there bigger than a submarine  
A			Em  D/F# 
As he circles I look in his eye  
G				D		 
I see Jonah in his belly by the campfire light  
 
D 
 
A					Em	D/F# 
Oh, an albatross up in the windy lofts  
G				D 
He's beating his wings while he sleeps it off  
A					Em  D/F# 
I hear the jettisoned cries from his dreams unkind  
G				D 
Yeah they're whippin' my ears like a riding crop  
 
A					Em	D/F# 
The captain once as able as a fink dandy  
G				D 
He's now laid up in the galley like a dried out mink  
A					Em  D/F# 
He's laying dying of thirst and he says or I think  
G				D 
Well, we're gonna be alone from here on in  
 
Em						D 
Well you're all my brothers, and you have been kind  
Em				D 
But what were you expecting to find? 
G						Bm 
Now your eyes turn inwards, countenance turns blank  
C 
And I'm floating away on a barrel of pain  
						Bm 
It looks like nothing but the sea and sky oh remain  
 
Solo: 
 
A  Em	D/F#  G	 D  X 4 
 
D 
 
A			Em	D/F# 
I sing na na nana nananana na  
G		    D 
Na na nana nananana na  
 
(Na na's X 4) 
 
D 
 
A					Em	D/F# 
A harpoon's shaft is short and wide  
G				D 
A grappling hook's is cracked and dry  
A					Em  D/F# 
I said, why don't you get down in the sea  
G				D 
Turn the water red like you want to be?  
 
A					Em	D/F# 
Cause if I cry another tear I'll be turned to dust  
G				D 
No the sharks won't get me they don't feel loss  
A					Em  D/F# 
Just keep one eye on the horizon man, you best not blink  
G				D 
They're coming fin by fin until the whole boat sinks  
 
A  	Em	D/F#   
Fin by fin  
G	 D 
Fin by fin  
A  	Em	D/F#   
Fin by fin 
G	 	D  
Fin by fin by fin by fin 
 
D  G/D  D  G/D  A/D  D  G/D  A/D  D  G/D  A/D  
 
FIN :-) 
 
Note: 
G/D - This is a D chord slid up to the 7th fret. 
A/D - This is a D chord slid up to the 9th fret. 
Like in Travelling Wilbury's "End of the line".
