Shiver me Timbers

Tom Waits

capo 2

EI'm leaving my Afamily
Eleaving all my C#mfriends
Emy body's at F#home
but my F#mhearts in Bthe Ewind
where the Eclouds are like Aheadlines
on a Enew frontpage C#msky
my Etears are salt F#water
and the F#mmoons full Band Ehigh

And I know Martin Eden's
gonna be proud of me
many before me
has been drawn by the sea
To be up in the crow's nest
singing my say
Shiver me Timbers
as I'm sailing away

EbmNow the fog's lifting
and the sCand's shifting
I'm dErifting on oF#ut

Old captain Ahab
he ain't got nBothing on me

So swallow me , follow me
I'm travelling alone
Blue waters my daughter
I'm gonna skip like a stone

so please call my misses
tell her not to cry
'cause my googbye 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

Now the fogs liftin'......

I'm leaving my family
leaving all my friends
my body's at home
but my hearts in the wind
where the clouds are like headlines
on a new frontpage sky
shiver me timbers
as I'm sailing goodbye
