Mark Knopfler – Sky And Water chords

[Intro]
Bm D G A D A D

[Verse 1]
       Bm            DThere’s only sky and water
                 GAs far as we can see
              AYou came in a dream last night
     G                   ADear heart, you spoke to me
       Bm            DThere’s only sky and water
              GAnd never so alone
                 AWhen we cut the captain loose
                     DWe cut all ties with home
         A                 DLord, we cut all ties with home

[Verse 2]
   Bm             DWe let the tyrant drift away
                  GIn one of his own boats
                   AI don’t know why I stopped the hands
     G             AFrom going for his throat
Bm            DEvery man did curse the day
                     GHe signed up for the trip
                  AAnd every man did know
                         DThis was no way to run a ship
         A            DLord, no way to run a ship

[Verse 3]
     Bm                     DGood riddance to his bitter soul
                    GAnd now we have the brig
                       AIt’s sure we’ll not be sailing home
   G                ATo dance the hempen jig
       Bm            DThere’s only sky and water
                      GWe sleep and dream of land
                      ABut free of chains of iron
                       DAnd the captain’s iron hand
          A              DLord, the captain’s iron hand

[Verse 4]
   Bm              DHe lashed me to a grating
                          GFor the nine claws of the cat
                 AAnd now I have a fever
    G                    ABut I give no thought to that
     Bm            DI am high over the water
                     GI sleep and dream of land
                  AFree of chains of iron
                       DAnd the captain’s iron hand
          A              DLord, the captain’s iron hand
