[Verse 1]
Am                             C         Am          Am   D       Am
The ship's rising up from the sea to the sky, cryin' heyeheh Hold on
Am                          C         Am          Am  D        Am
Just one sorry scream and a desperate cry, cryin' heyeheh Hold on
Am                             C         Am   Am   D    Am   D    Am   D       C   G
Their lives pass before them before they die, heyeheh heyeheyeh heyeheyeh --

[Verse 2]
Am                          C       Am           Am   D       Am
The sea yawns around like a boiling hell, cryin' heyeheh hold on
Am                           C            Am           Am   D       Am
And souls disappear with the toll of that bell, cryin' heyeheh hold on
Am                           C             Am    Am   D       Am
The arms of the sea they are dragging them down, heyeheh hold on
Am                            C            Am     Am   D    Am   D    Am   D
And sorrows and sins they are lost as they drown, heyeheh heyeheyeh heyeheyeh --

[Interlude]
D                                   Am
How strange when you think that the sea was their way;
                  G            F#m
And a meaningless death is the price they pay
Bm           G          D             Am
   For their living was made from the deep
C                     Bm          Am
   To their people in comfort and keep
D              G          Am
Keep all their people and places there
G                       Em          F#m             Bm    Em   Am   Em   Am
Never to be seen again, never to be loved and their last embrace --
G                  D           Em
And the kiss has a salt bitter taste

[Verse 3]
Am                          C          Am   Am   D       Am
Now all that remains is the deep cruel sea, heyeheh hold on
Am                          C       Am  Am   D       Am
And wreckage of things that used to be, heyeheh hold on

Am                         C            Am            Am   D       Am
Together they die both the weak and the brave, cryin' heyeheh hold on

And sorrows and sins they are lost as they drown, heyeheh hold on
Am                          C       Am           Am   D       Am
The sea yawns around like a boiling hell, cryin' heyeheh hold on
