Intro:

D    E    D    A
D    E    D    A
D    E    D


Verse:
          D                          A                D
Spend my days in a haze, floating 'round in the Marais
                                                     E
Nights under the bright lights at Mignon on Beaumarchais
 D                                  A                 D
Rouge wave gets me mumbling, then tumbling it takes me
                                              E
Bouncing and rolling like a cork lost out at sea

 A                                     D
Endless nights that haunt and taunt eternal seemingly
                E
How the sirens come to me
                 A                             D
But they're not real, just temptation in the deep


Chorus:
 A                         D
They all sing along to a luring song of prey
                                                   E
Melody washes over but can't make out a word they say
 A                                     D
Tied my mooring line to wine, but it snapped back from the fray
                               E                     D
So I row against the undertow drifting, my anchor away


Instrumental:
A    D    D    E  A  D


Verse:
   D                                    A              D
F#  drunken sailor lost and lonely in a sad and magic swamp
                                              E
Saint Michel protecting me from everything I want
     D                                A                D
But darkness falls like thunder and that old dragon wins
                                                E
Running 'round in circles, trying to reach the end

 A                             D             A
Trying to break the cycle of solitude and sin
 D                E         D
Here come those sirens again


Chorus:
 A                         D
They all sing along to a luring song of prey
                                                   E
Melody washes over but can't make out a word they say
 A                                     D
Tied my mooring line to wine, but it snapped back from the fray
                               E                     D
So I row against the undertow drifting, my anchor away


Instrumental:
A    D    D    E  A  D


Bridge:
          A                          D
Pull the wax out of my ears, tie me to the mast headlong
                                                    E
My heart's free of fear, so let me hear that siren song
 A                                   D                A
Play it loud and sing it proud and make it last so long
            D                 E       D
'Cause the night goes on and on, forever


Chorus:
 A                         D
They all sing along to a luring song of prey
                                                   E
Melody washes over but can't make out a word they say
 A                                     D
Tied my mooring line to wine, but it snapped back from the fray
                               E                     A     A    D
So I row against the undertow drifting, my anchor away
