Verse:
G minorGm               Bb majorBb        C majorC
The boy child is locked in the fisherman's yard
G minorGm                    Bb majorBb  C majorC
There's a bloodless moon where the oceans die
G minorGm             Bb majorBb        C majorC
A augmentedA shoal of night stars hang fire in the nets
     G minorGm           Bb majorBb    C majorC
And the chaos of cages where the crayfish lie
G minorGm           Bb majorBb        C majorC
Where is the fisherman, where is the goat,
G minorGm             Bb majorBb     C majorC
Where is the keeper in his carrion coat?
  G minorGm            Bb majorBb     C majorC
Eclipse on the moon when the dark bird flies
G minorGm             Bb majorBb    C majorC
Where is the child with his father's eyes?

C majorC Bb majorBb

He's the king of the ninth world
G minorGm                 Bb majorBb C majorC FF G minorGm
The twisted son of the fog bells' toll
G minorGm              Bb majorBb C majorC FF G minorGm
In each and every lobster cage,   a tortured human soul


Pre-Chorus:
Bb majorBb             Bbsus2Bbsus2
These are the souls of the broken factories
Bb majorBb            Bbsus2Bbsus2
The subject slaves of the broken crown
Bb majorBb           Bbsus2Bbsus2
The dead accounting of old guilty promises
Bb majorBb             C majorC
These are the souls of the broken town

A augmentedA vintage that blessed every ship in the line
A minorAm         C majorC       D MajorD
It's wrung from the blood of the sailors who died
A minorAm         C majorC       D MajorD
Young white bodies adrift in the tide'
A minorAm              C majorC       D MajorD
'And what's in it for me, my pretty young thing?
A minorAm              C majorC     D MajorD
Why should I whistle when the caged bird sings?
A minorAm              C majorC       D MajorD

You'll spend the rest of forever in the cage with me'

A minorAm            C majorC     D MajorD

A minorAm      C majorC     D MajorD
The side of a ship where the iceberg rips
A minorAm      C majorC        D MajorD
One less soul in the soul cages
A minorAm           G+G     D MajorD
One last curse on the fisherman's lips
