Am C
I am a simple man
G Dm
I learned to work with my hands out here on these waves
Am
Sha, la, la, la, la, la
C
I guess I've always known
G Dm
I would die alone here one cold November day
Am
Sha, la, la, la, la, la
C
I heard that you did take
G Dm
My brother in the morning another without warning
Am
Sha, la, la, la, la, la
C G Dm
And who am I to think that I'd be any different as God as my witness
Am C
I saw Davy Jones underneath the water
G Am C Dm
With a thousand of my fathers calling me home
G F C Am
And I saw Davy Jones wavin' his black flag countin' up his bones
C
They say when I was five
G Dm
The day I cast my first line I fell over the port side
Am
Sha, la, la, la, la, la
C
As I was sinkin' down
G Dm
I heard my mama singing, I heard the church bells ringing
Am
Sha, la, la, la, la, la
C G
But when they pulled me in I felt him tuggin' my hand
Am C
I saw Davy Jones underneath the water
G Am C Dm
With a thousand of my fathers calling me home
G F C Am
And I saw Davy Jones wavin' his black flag countin' up his bones
C
Now the waves have snapped the mast
G Dm Am
I'm takin' water so fast I let go of the lines
C G
And I could feel my father's stare from beyond the grave somewhere
Dm Am
As I fail him one last time
'
C G
Cause I would never be the man he thought I should be
Dm
The lesser of his sons
C G
So Jesus help me now, help me to forgive him
Dm
Before the darkness floods in
Am C
I saw Davy Jones underneath the water
G Am C Dm
With a thousand of my fathers calling me home
G F C
And I saw Davy Jones wavin' his black flag countin' up his bones
