🎸 Intro:
N.C.
I’ll keep the king
N.C.
When you are gone away
N.C.
Into darkness and howling I’ll keep him from drowning
N.C.
As our boat is untethered from the dock
Plucking:
Am
I’ll keep the king
Dsus2/A
Keep him safe at bay
D/A
I’ll keep him safe from the dark things that wait
Dm Dsus2 N.C.
In that house at the top of the rock
Am (+ strum)
In that house at the top of the rock
🎸 Verse:
D C Am
There’ve been times I know
D C Am
I’ll stand up up up at the bow
D C
And the waves of our bodies and the smell of our follies
Am
Rips into the bark of my bones
D C Am
You fumble through the dark
D C Am
However wide and deep and far my dear
D C
The waves made of fingers and the madness that lingers
Am
Rips into the bark of our bones

And let the sea birds cry

In that house at the top of the rock
🎸 Verse:
Am
I’ll smile as I climb the stairs (to the light)
D C Am
To the light that you keep burning there (all hell)
D C
And our muscles that are waltzing and our shadows that are bold sing
Am
Come rip up the flesh of my fears
D C Am
I know your fingernails are the colour of rust (come back)
D C Am
And your veins are empty of dust (but our voices)
D C Am
But our voices collide with each howl of the tide

Singing all hell and its fire waits for us

The wind and its shackles, the old fishers tackles

The sea and its waters, every unwanted daughter

Every moon in the sky

Every promise and lie

All hell
N.C.
And it’s fire
Waits for us
