Next time out to sea
Bring enough soil to bury me
For I don't want my final jig
In the belly of a squid
[G] [D] [G] [D] [C] [Bb] [D] [C] [Bb] [A] [G]
[G]Next time out to [D]sea
[G]Bring enough soil to bury [D]me
[C]For I don't want my f[Bb]inal jig
In the [D]bel[C]ly [Bb]of [A]a [G]squid
[G]Take my trousers take my [D]shirt
[G]Just give me that sweet [D]dirt
[C]For the water's cold and [Bb]grim
And I n[D]ever [C]did l[Bb]earn [A]to [G]swim
[G]No her love never set me [D]free
[G]So I set off for the [D]ocean
[C]Now in my dreams she comes [Bb]to me
[D]Whis[C]per[Bb]ing [A]of [G]peace
[G]But I've known since the [D]day
[G]That we sailed for Santia[D]go
[C]Her dry embrace would [Bb]kiss my face
[D]No [C]nev[Bb]er, [A]No [G]more
[G]The sea is a [C]cruel [D]mistress
[G]The sea is a [C]cruel [D]mistress
[G] [D] [G] [D] [C] [Bb] [D] [C] [Bb] [A] [G]
[G]Many moons to the [D]day
[G]That I threw her love [D]away
[C]Now every whale spouts [Bb]"go to hell"
[D]As the [C]wind l[Bb]aughs [A]in my [G]face
[G]I've grown harder on the [D]eyes
[G]And salty to the [D]taste
[C]My pride has gone with [Bb]the wake
As I [D]wait [C]a [Bb]cold [A]wet [G]grave
[G]I rose to the [D]smell
[G]Of a wet desert [D]hell
[C]And I thought to [Bb]myself
How'd I [D]wind [C]up [Bb]in [A]this [G]jail
[G]Till a voice called to [D]me
[G]From deep within the [D]sea
[C]Dry your eyes my dear[Bb] fisherman
Your [D]ass [C]be[Bb]longs [A]to [G]me
[G]The sea is a [C]cruel [D]mistress
[G]The sea is a [C]cruel [D]mistress
[G] [D] [G] [D] [C] [Bb] [D] [C] [Bb] [A] [G]
[G] [D] [G] [D] [C] [Bb] [D] [C] [Bb] [A] [G]
[Eb]The earth will rest my [D]bones
[Bb]Lord I know, [G]Lord I know
[Eb]But I'll see you when I get [D]home
[Bb]From the cold, [G]yeah from the cold
No her love never set me free
So I set out for the ocean
Now in my dreams she comes to me
Whispering of peace
But I've known since the day
That we sailed for Santiago
Her dry embrace would kiss my face
No never, no more
[G]The sea is a [C]cruel [D]mistress
[G]The sea is a [C]cruel [D]mistress
[G]Next time out to sea
Bring enough [Eb]soil to bury me
For [D]I don't want my final jig
In the belly of a squid
[G]Next time out to sea
Bring enough [Eb]soil to bury me
For [D]in my dreams she comes to me
Whispering of peace
[G]Next time out to [D]sea
[G]Bring enough soil to bury [D]me
[C]For I don't want my f[Bb]inal jig
In the [D]bel[C]ly [Bb]of [A]a [G]squid!
