| DmDm Dm5+ | Dm6Dm6 Dm5+ |


VERSE
DmDm       Em/DEm/D
 Oh, come away from the day, here I stay
F/D      Em/DEm/D     | DmDm Em/DEm/D | F/D Em/DEm/D |
Living on the bottom of the sea
DmDm         Em/DEm/D
 Down metal snake, corridors, steely gray
F/D       Em/DEm/D   | DmDm Em/DEm/D | F/D Em/DEm/D |
Engines hum for nobody but me

BRIDGE
G minorGm       A minorAm
 No sound comes from the sea above me
Bb majorBb      C majorC             | FF G+G | Bb majorBb A augmentedA |
 No messages crackles through the radio leads


CHORUS
DmDm          Em/DEm/D
 They’ll never know, never, no, never
  F/D         Em/DEm/D   [DmDm]
How strange life in dark water can be


INTERLUDE
| DmDm Dm5+ | Dm6Dm6 Dm5+ |

 Oh, mariners spare a thought when you pass
F/D        Em/DEm/D  | DmDm Em/DEm/D | F/D Em/DEm/D |
Those who live the submarine life
DmDm        Em/DEm/D
 Far in the deep sonar eyes never sleep
F/D      Em/DEm/D     | DmDm Em/DEm/D | F/D Em/DEm/D |
Hiding like a shadow in the night


BRIDGE
G minorGm        A minorAm
 Jet planes nose through the clouds above me
Bb majorBb       C majorC          | FF G+G | Bb majorBb A augmentedA |
 They look for radar traces of me to see

CHORUS
DmDm          Em/DEm/D
 They’ll never know, never, no, never
  F/D         Em/DEm/D   [DmDm]
How strange life in dark water can be

Coming out tonight
G minorGm        C majorC
 Tell my girl she must be strong
FF          DmDm          [G minorGm]
 She sits and waits all night long, yeah, yeah
G minorGm         A minorAm
 Just looking for a better day
G minorGm          A minorAm      [DmDm]
 She’ll have to find another way to go

 No memory, tell me what’s wrong with me
F/D    Em/DEm/D      | DmDm Em/DEm/D | F/D Em/DEm/D |
Why am I alone here with no rest
DmDm        Em/DEm/D
 And now the name of the ship’s not the same
