Man O War chords by Bachmann Eric

Chords with lyrics

I'm pretty sure this is not how the song is played, guess he uses some alternative
tuning, but I got no idea which so this works pretty good for standard tuning.


Intro: D MajorD

D MajorD            A augmentedA   G+G               D MajorD
Floating in the cold water the ghosts of sorrow haunt the deep
D MajorD            A augmentedA   G+G               D MajorD
Reaching down to drag the ruins and roam the lone deserted streets
D MajorD          A augmentedA   G+G             D MajorD
Of an old abandoned temple buried in the narrow strait
D MajorD         A augmentedA     G+G     G+G
Off the coast of Tarifa, Spain

D MajorD               A augmentedA   G+G            D MajorD
Gypsies scatter through the desert across the Atlas Mountain Range
D MajorD              A augmentedA   G+G           D MajorD
Hoaring remnants from the Devil from the Empires iron reign
D MajorD                  A augmentedA   G+G             D MajorD
While cluttered down the mouths of rivers widowed lovers bathe and clean
D MajorD             A augmentedA           G+G
Silken scarves embroidered for their brand new Queen

A augmentedA                   D MajorD
And every time she rises up the ocean sinks
A augmentedA                    D MajorD
Her memory drags a drape of a thousand angry stings

G+G       A augmentedA      D MajorD  G+G     A augmentedA     D MajorD
And like the moon doesn't mind if the sun doesn't shine
G+G        D MajorD      A augmentedA        G+G
The sea doesn't care if you're lonesome tonight
G+G      D MajorD       A augmentedA         G+G
Like the love that she gives condescendingly tries
G+G          A augmentedA
In its way to comfort you

G+G               D MajorD       A augmentedA
Set adrift into her swarm-man o war
G+G                    D MajorD        A augmentedA
Caught up in her dangling sting-off the shore
G+G                   Bm/ABm/A   A augmentedA    G+G
Of a foreign brown sand beach as blue as bottles cover you

Many messengers and rebels have come and gone without a trace
And many more will come tomorrow and many more will be erased
Cause out beyond the docks of Rota upon the bottom of the sea
Along the miles of copper cable from the Gulf of Cadiz

They tap the lines to hear the sounds that start the songs the rebels sing
And drag a net to seine the bottom for the purse the bastards bring

And like a lion don't mind if a lamb takes her time
A augmentedA beast doesn't care if you surrender tonight
Cause a beast knows she'll get what she wants in good time
