G                D          
Next time out to sea 
G                         D
Bring enough soil to bury me 
C                    Bb
For I don't want my final jig 
       D  C  Bb A G
In the belly of a squid
G                        D
Take my trousers take my shirt 
G                       D
Just give me that sweet dirt 
C                        Bb
For the water's cold and grim 
       D    C    Bb   A  G
And I never did learn to swim
G                        D 
No her love never set me free 
G                    D
So I set off for the ocean
C                          Bb 
Now in my dreams she comes to me 
D   C  Bb  A  G
Whispering of peace 
G                        D
But I've known since the day 
G                        D
That we sailed for Santiago
C                     Bb 
Her dry embrace would kiss my face
D  C  Bb  A  G 
No never, No more 

G            C     D
The sea is a cruel mistress 
G            C     D
The sea is a cruel mistress

G                 D
Many moons to the day
G                     D
That I threw her love away
C                      Bb 
Now every whale spouts "go to hell" 
D      C     Bb    A     G
As the wind laughs in my face
G                        D 
I've grown harder on the eyes
G                D
And salty to the taste
C                      Bb 
My pride has gone with the wake
     D    C Bb   A   G
As I wait a cold wet grave 
G             D
I rose to the smell
G               D 
Of a wet desert hell
C                Bb 
And I thought to myself
        D    C  Bb A    G 
How'd I wind up in this jail
G                      D 
Till a voice called to me
G                    D 
From deep within the sea 
C                    Bb
Dry your eyes my dear fisherman
     D   C Bb    A  G 
Your ass belongs to me 

G            C     D
The sea is a cruel mistress
G            C     D 
The sea is a cruel mistress
