Ship unmanned.

snake bite fist fights and empty pints,

Unrivaled heights.
DmDm               A#A#

Solo

Bridge:

D5D5     A#5A#5        F5F5
It’s by the sea and at nights end
        C5C5        D5D5
that’s when the sin and swill begin
        A#5A#5       F5F5
That’s when he had that certain light
      C5C5       D5D5
inside his head
      A#5A#5       F5F5
For every whisper he would scream
      C5C5         D5D5
for every drought he shared a drink
     A#5A#5        F5F5         C5C5
For every sorrow there is a light from our St. James

Part Clean:

A#A#
On the sea by the cliff he watches,

he waits the night to see
  FF
The day - his way
A#A#
Last call will find us all
                  FF
But there’s a light that leads the way, our way.
