Shiver Me Timbers

1. I'm leaving my family

leaving all my friends

my body's at home

Am D7

but my heart`s in the wind

where the clouds are like headlines

on a new frontpage sky

my tears are salt water

and the moon`s full and high

2. And I know Martin Eden's

gonna be proud of me

many before me

has been called by the sea

To be up in the crow's nest

singing my say

Shiver me Timbers

I'm a-sailing away

Em7

R: Now the fog's lifting

B7

and the sand's shifting and

I'm drifting on out

Old captain Ahab

D7sus4 D7

he ain't got nothing on me

Em7 B7

So come on and swallow me , don`t follow me

I'm travelling alone

Blue waters my daughter

D7sus4 D7

I'm skippin' like a stone

3. So please call my missus

tell her not to cry

'cause my goodbye is written

by the moon in the sky

And nobody knows me

I can't fathom my stayin'

shiver me timbers

I'm a-sailing away

R: Now the fog's lifting...

4. I'm leaving my family

I'm leaving 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

I'm a-sailing ... a...way
