                                AmSha, la, la, la, la, la
                                C
I guess I've always known
                G                                               Dm
I would die alone here one cold November day

                                AmSha, la, la, la, la, la


                                CI heard that you did take

                        G                                       DmMy brother in the morning another without warning

                                AmSha, la, la, la, la, la

                        C                               G                               DmAnd who am I to think that I'd be any different as God as my witness


                Am                              CI saw Davy Jones underneath the water

        G                       Am              C               DmWith a thousand of my fathers calling me home

                        G                                       F                  C    …AmAnd I saw Davy Jones wavin' his black flag countin' up his bones


                          C
They say when I was five

                        G                                       DmThe day I cast my first line I fell over the port side

                                AmSha, la, la, la, la, la

                        CAs I was sinkin' down
                        G                                               Dm
I heard my mama singing, I heard the church bells ringing

                                AmSha, la, la, la, la, la

                                        C                               GBut when they pulled me in I felt him tuggin' my hand


          Am                              CI saw Davy Jones underneath the water

        G                       Am              C               DmWith a thousand of my fathers calling me home

                                                CNow the waves have snapped the mast

                        G                               Dm  …AmI'm takin' water so fast I let go of the lines

                                        C                                       GAnd I could feel my father's stare from beyond the grave somewhere

                         Dm  …AmAs I fail him one last time

'
                                C                               GCause I would never be the man he thought I should be

                        Dm  …AmThe lesser of his sons

                        C                               GSo Jesus help me now, help me to forgive him
Dm
Before the darkness floods in

        G                       Am              C               DmWith a thousand of my fathers calling me home

                        G                                       F                  C And I saw Davy Jones wavin' his black flag countin' up his bones
