[Intro] D Em G D (twice) D Em G D Ever since the world began - ooh wee D Em G D Men have sailed to foreign lands - ooh wee D Em G D And the fortunes that they've found - ooh wee D Em G D Are now buried in the ground - ooh wee Some would say the ocean roars - ooh wee As it stumbles to the shore - ooh wee But to me it only sings - ooh wee Of the sorrow that it brings - ooh wee [riff 1 (four times)] All my friends are dead G D Or they're dying [riff 1 (four times)] G D Empty laughter turns into crying G D A It's death-defying Well, I barely learned to swim - ooh wee Just enough to save my skin - ooh wee Now I'll never sail alone - ooh wee And my harbour is my home - ooh wee [Instrumental] D Em G D (four times) All our friends are dead Or they're dying, And our laughter only turns into crying, It's death-defying. If there's one thing that I've learned - ooh wee It's the point of no return - ooh wee And if that's to be our fate - ooh wee Now's no time to hesitate - ooh wee [Ending] D Em G D (six times) [Riff 1] A G -2--2--2--2-- D -2--2--2--2-- A -0--0--3--4-- E ------------- Copyright EMI Music Publishing; reprinted with kind permission.
