Am                      C
I am a simple man

                         G                                               Dm
I learned to work with my hands out here on these waves

                                Am
Sha, la, la, la, la, la
                                C

I guess I've always known
                G                                               Dm

I would die alone here one cold November day

                                Am
Sha, la, la, la, la, la


                                C
I heard that you did take

                        G                                       Dm
My brother in the morning another without warning

                                Am
Sha, la, la, la, la, la

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


                Am                              C
I saw Davy Jones underneath the water

        G                       Am              C               Dm
With a thousand of my fathers calling me home

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


                          C
They say when I was five

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

                                Am
Sha, la, la, la, la, la

                        C
As I was sinkin' down
                        G                                               Dm

I heard my mama singing, I heard the church bells ringing

                                Am
Sha, la, la, la, la, la

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


          Am                              C
I saw Davy Jones underneath the water

        G                       Am              C               Dm
With a thousand of my fathers calling me home

                        G                                       F                  C    …Am
And I saw Davy Jones wavin' his black flag countin' up his bones
                                                C
Now the waves have snapped the mast

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

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

                         Dm  …Am
As I fail him one last time

'
                                C                               G
Cause I would never be the man he thought I should be

                        Dm  …Am
The lesser of his sons

                        C                               G
So Jesus help me now, help me to forgive him
Dm

Before the darkness floods in


                Am                              C
I saw Davy Jones underneath the water

        G                       Am              C               Dm
With a thousand of my fathers calling me home

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