----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tuning: Standard
[C]Blues all on the ocean [F]blues all in the [C]air.
[F]Can't stay here no [C]longer I [D7]have no steamship [G]fare.
When my [C]earthly trials are over carry my [F]body out in the [C]sea.
[F]Save all the [C]undertaker bills let the [C]mermaids [G]flirt with [C]me.
[C]I do not work for pleasure earthly [F]peace I'll see no [C]more.
[F]The only reason I [C]work at all is [D7]drive the world from my [G]door.
When my [C]earthly trials are over carry my [F]body out in the [C]sea.
[F]Save all the [C]undertaker bills let the [C]mermaids [G]flirt with [C]me.
[C]My wife controls our happy home a [F]sweetheart I can not [C]find.
[F]The only thing I can [C]call my own is a [D]troubled and a worried [G]mind.
When my [C]earthly trials are over carry my [F]body out in the [C]sea.
[F]Save all the [C]undertaker bills let the [C]mermaids [G]flirt with [C]me.
[C]Blues all in my body my [F]darling has forsaken [C]me.
[F]If I ever see her [C]face again I have to [D7]swim across the [G]sea.
When my [C]earthly trials are over carry my [F]body out in the [C]sea.
[F]Save all the [C]undertaker bills let the [C]mermaids [G]flirt with [C]me.
[C]Blues all on the ocean [F]blues all in the [C]air.
[F]Can't stay here no [C]longer I [D7]have no steamship [G]fare.
When my [C]earthly trials are over carry my [F]body out in the [C]sea.
[F]Save all the [C]undertaker bills let the [C]mermaids [G]flirt with [C]me.
