Verse 1:

Em                    F#       F#m
     In a sea of faces,    in a sea of doubt
A                           F#m
    In this cruel place your voice above the maelstrom
Em                                     F#m
   In the wake of this ship of fools I'm falling further down
A                           F#m
      If you can see me, Marian, reach out and take me home

Chorus:

Em                 F#m
I hear you calling Marian
A                              F#m
Across the water,              across the wave
Em                 F#m
I hear you calling Marian
A                              F#m
Can you hear me calling you to save me, save me, save me from the

Verse 2:

Em                           F#m
   There's a weight above me      And the pressure is all too strong
A                                     F#m
To breathe deep breathe long and hard   To take the water down and go to sleep
Em                    F#       F#m
To sink still further      Beneath the fatal wave
A                     F#m
      Marian I think I'm drowning             This sea is killing me

Chorus:

Em                 F#m
I hear you calling Marian
A                              F#m
Across the water,              across the wave
Em                 F#m
I hear you calling Marian
A                              F#m
Can you hear me calling you to save me, save me, save me from the
