Next time out to sea
Bring enough soil to bury me
For I don't want my final jig
In the belly of a squid
G D G D C Bb D C Bb A G
Next time out to sea
G DBring enough soil to bury me
C BbFor I don't want my final jig
In the belly of a squid
G DTake my trousers take my shirt
G DJust give me that sweet dirt
For the water's cold and grim
D C Bb A GAnd I never did learn to swim
G DNo her love never set me free
So I set off for the ocean
C BbNow in my dreams she comes to me
D C Bb A GWhispering of peace
But I've known since the day
G DThat we sailed for Santiago
C BbHer dry embrace would kiss my face
No never, No more
The sea is a cruel mistress
G C DThe sea is a cruel mistress
G D G D C Bb D C Bb A G
G D
Many moons to the day
That I threw her love away
C BbNow every whale spouts "go to hell"
D C Bb A GAs the wind laughs in my face
I've grown harder on the eyes
G DAnd salty to the taste
C BbMy pride has gone with the wake
As I wait a cold wet grave
G DI rose to the smell
G DOf a wet desert hell
And I thought to myself
D C Bb A GHow'd I wind up in this jail
G DTill a voice called to me
From deep within the sea
C BbDry your eyes my dear fisherman
D C Bb A GYour ass belongs to me
G C D
The sea is a cruel mistress
The sea is a cruel mistress
The earth will rest my bones
Bb GLord I know, Lord I know
Eb DBut I'll see you when I get home
From the cold, yeah from the cold
No her love never set me free
So I set out for the ocean
Now in my dreams she comes to me
Whispering of peace
But I've known since the day
That we sailed for Santiago
Her dry embrace would kiss my face
No never, no more
The sea is a cruel mistress
G C DThe sea is a cruel mistress
G
Next time out to sea
EbBring enough soil to bury me
For I don't want my final jig
In the belly of a squid

For in my dreams she comes to me
Whispering of peace
