Shiver Me Timbers

Waits Tom

   G              C/D
1. I'm leaving my family
   G              Em7
   leaving all my friends
   G            A7
   my body's at home
             Am          D7
   but my heart`s in the wind
             G               C/D
   where the clouds are like headlines
        G             Em7
   on a new frontpage sky
      G              A7
   my tears are salt water
             Am        D7    G
   and the moon`s full and high
   
2. And I know Martin Eden's
   gonna be proud of me
   many before me
   has been called by the sea
   To be up in the crow's nest
   singing my say
   Shiver me Timbers
   I'm a-sailing away

           Em7
R: Now the fog's lifting
           B7
   and the sand's shifting and
       G           A9
   I'm drifting on out
     G
   Old captain Ahab
                D7sus4     D7
   he ain't got nothing on me
                     Em7               B7
   So come on and swallow me , don`t follow me
          G        A9
   I'm travelling alone
          G
   Blue waters my daughter
          D7sus4         D7
   I'm skippin' like a stone

3. So please call my missus
   tell her not to cry
   'cause my goodbye is written
   by the moon in the sky
   And nobody knows me
   I can't fathom my stayin'
   shiver me timbers
   I'm a-sailing away

R: Now the fog's lifting...

4. I'm leaving my family
   I'm leaving my friends
   my body's at home
   but my hearts in the wind
   where the clouds are like headlines
   on a new frontpage sky
   shiver me timbers
   I'm a-sailing ... a...way
