Capo III

C majorC FF C majorC

FF             C majorC
I'm a fishing girl, just a lonely girl
      FF        C majorC
The town in which I live is breaking water
     FF         C majorC
I told my mother, my violent brother
     FF            G+G
All they give to me is reason to leave

FF C majorC

FF           C majorC
Imagine my surprise, a pair of ancient eyes
      FF       C majorC
Set into a face as old as land
       DmDm            A minorAm
He stands in front of me, he came out of the sea
      FF              G+G
He says it hurts his skin to touch the sand

FF            C majorC
He crawls back into the sea, the air is salty and sweet
      FF        C majorC
A augmentedA backward glance by way of invitation
    DmDm               A minorAm
I'm in now up to my knees, the air is salty and sweet
       FF          C majorC G+G
I'll leave my dress by way of explanation

FF C majorC FF C majorC

FF                   C majorC
My man don't care for clothes, the things he does not own
      FF              C majorC
They never trouble him, never give him grief
       DmDm            A minorAm
cause he's as soft as silk, as pure as baby milk
      FF           G+G
And harder than earth that he so scorns

FF            C majorC
He crawls back into the sea, the air is salty and sweet
      FF        C majorC
A augmentedA backward glance by way of invitation
    DmDm               A minorAm
I'm in now up to my knees, the air is salty and sweet
       FF          C majorC G+G
I'll leave my dress by way of explanation

FF C majorC FF C majorC DmDm A minorAm FF C majorC G+G C majorC
