Song
Shiver Me Timbers by Tom Waits
Em* x75000
Intro
Verse 1
I'm leaving my family, leaving all my friends
My body's at home but my heart's in the wind
Where the clouds are like headlines on a new front page sky
My tears are salt water and the moon's full and high
And I know Martin Eden's gonna be proud of me
Many before me have been called by the sea
To be up in the crow's nest singing my say
Shiver me timbers as I'm sailing away
Chorus
Em* Emmaj7/D#
And the fog's lifting and the sand's shifting
I'm drifting on out
Old captain Ahab, he ain't got nothing on me
Em* Emmaj7/D#
So swallow me, follow me
I'm travelling alone
Blue waters my daughter, I'm gonna skip like a stone
Interlude
Verse 2
So please call my misses, tell her not to cry
'Cause my goodbye is written by the moon in the sky
Nobody knows me, I can't fathom my stayin'
Shiver me timbers as I'm sailing away
(Chorus)
Verse 3
And I'm leaving my family, leaving all my friends
My body's at home but my heart's in the wind
Where the clouds are like headlines on a new front page sky
Shiver me timbers as I'm sailing a - way
