Em                                  Am              Em
Once you were all sea-folk and you sailed upon the seas
Em                                     Am            B
You crossed the roaring ocean with the devil at your heels
Em                                          Am               Em
Your time has come again now, I'll tell you how this will unfold
Em                            Am                  B
I wanna see the western ocean painted black and gold

(Chorus)
G  D/Fis         Em
Welcome to the seaside
G  D/Fis      Em
It's been occupied
G  D/Fis         Em
Burrow to the bottom
     Am                   B
And behold! -The mother lode
              Em
Of black and gold

Em                                          Am              Em
Yes, once you were all sea-wolves, proudest on the western seas
Em                             Am              B
These days you linger in the shade of taller trees
Em                                 Am              Em
But the devil has a weak spot for wounded and the poor
Em                                     Am              B
For the hungry and the crafty and the wicked and the small

(Chorus)
G  D/Fis         Em
Onward to the seaside
G  D/Fis      Em
It's been occupied
G  D/Fis        Em
Burrow to the bottom
      Am                 B
And behold! -The mother lode
              Em
Of black and gold


Guitar Solo: Em - Am 


Em                              Am              Em
Keep that fire burning, keep a keen eye on the count
     Em                      Am          B
The bounty of the ocean, astronomical amounts!
    Em                                   Am                   Em
You all know where it's coming from, you all know where it's going
     Em                         Am            B
Yes, in the end I always had a cut of every coin

(Chorus)
G  D/Fis         Em
Welcome to the seaside
G  D/Fis       Em
It's been occupied
G  D/Fis         Em
Burrow to the bottom
     Am                   B
And behold! -The mother lode
              Em
Of black and gold
G  D/Fis         Em
You enjoy the seaside now
G  D/Fis     Em
Blindly occupied
G  D/Fis         Em
Burrow to the bottom
      Am                  B
And behold! -The mother lode
              Em
Of black and gold
