[Intro]
D   G A D   G   A
D   G A D   Bm  A

[Verse 1]
D                   AI nearly died, when you jumped in
    D                G      A         DBut you had to drown before you could swim
D                                      Bm         AAll the people on the beach, they were so impressed
          DThat they wanted to join you
             Bm         ABut no, they wouldn't undress
   D                G            AOr let that wetness splash their skin
        D                                ASo they pray for a whirlpool to pull you in

[Chorus]
D      G  A   D   G A   D   G A D  G AYa Ho!     Ya Ho!    Ya Ho!

[Verse 2]
D                             G           ASo they looked away, and they tried to pretend
        D                      Bm         DThat it was for you, but no it wasn't for them
       D                   G      ASo the fear of sinking remains in place
         D                            Bm      ABut it's the fear of failure that's a real disgrace


[Chorus]
   D   G  A     D   G  AYa Ho! yo yo Ya Ho, yo yo
DLet me be the one
G             ALet me be the one
DLet me be the one
G             ALet me be the one


   D             G ATo get over your wall
   D             G ATo get over your wall

[Solo]

[Verse 3]
D                 AHead in the sand, sea out of reach
D                 G     ASwept away by the games of the beach
                 D   G       AThose people sat and watched your stand
AAnd the weight of their fears
D           APulled them underground
     D                     G                AWill anyone learn from the stories that are told
       D                        Bm       EOf the tribe who drowned in the grave of gold

[Chorus]
   D   G  A     D   G  AYa Ho! yo yo Ya Ho, yo yo
DLet me be the one
G             ALet me be the one
DLet me be the one
G             ALet me be the one

[Outro]
       D                  G           ATake a too long look with eyes bright wide
   D                     G       ATo face those fears from which I hide
