Sky And Water

Bm D G A D A D Bm D There’s only sky and water G As far as we can see A You came in a dream last night G A Dear heart, you spoke to me Bm D There’s only sky and water G And never so alone A When we cut the captain loose D We cut all ties with home A D Lord, we cut all ties with home Bm D We let the tyrant drift away G In one of his own boats A I don’t know why I stopped the hands G A From going for his throat Bm D Every man did curse the day G He signed up for the trip A And every man did know D This was no way to run a ship A D Lord, no way to run a ship Bm D G A G A Bm D G A D A D Bm D Good riddance to his bitter soul G And now we have the brig A It’s sure we’ll not be sailing home G A To dance the hempen jig Bm D There’s only sky and water G We sleep and dream of land A But free of chains of iron D And the captain’s iron hand A D Lord, the captain’s iron hand Bm D G A G A Bm D G A D A D Bm D He lashed me to a grating G For the nine claws of the cat A And now I have a fever G A But I give no thought to that Bm D I am high over the water G I sleep and dream of land A Free of chains of iron D And the captain’s iron hand A D Lord, the captain’s iron hand Bm D G A G A Bm D G A D A D
