Man o War Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][A][G][D][A][G]
[D]

[Verse 1]
Floating in the cold wa[A]ter[G]
the ghosts of sorrow haunt [D]the deep
Reaching down to drag [A]the ruins[G]
and roam the lone deserted [D]streets
Of an old abandoned [A]tem[G]ple
buried in the narrow [D]strait
Off the coast of Tari[A]fa, Spain

[Interlude 1]
[G][D]

[Verse 2]
Gypsies scatter through [A]the desert [G]across
the Atlas Mountain [D]Range
Hoaring remnants from [A]the Devil [G]from
the Empires iron [D]reign
While cluttered down the mouths of [A]rivers[G]
widowed lovers bathe an[D]d clean
Silken scarves embroidered [A]for their
brand [G]new Queen

[Verse 3]
[A]
And every time she rises up
the ocean [D]sinks[G][D][G]
[A]Her memory drags a drape of a thousand
angry [D]stings[G][D]

[Verse 4]
And like the [G]moon doesn't [D]mind
[G]if the sun doesn't [D]shine
The [G]sea doesn't [D]care if you're
[A]lonesome to[G]night
Like the love that she [D]gives
condes[A]cendingly [G]tries
In it[Bm]s way to [G]co[A]mfort you
[G]

[Verse 5]
Set adrift into her swarm-man
o [D]o w[A]ar[G]
Caught up in her dangling
sting-off the [D]the shore[A]
[G]Of a foreign brown sand beach as blue as
[Bm]bottles [A]cov[G]er you

[Interlude 2]
[D][A][G][D][A][G]
[D]

[Verse 6]
Many messengers and [A]rebels [G]have come
and gone without a [D]trace
And many more will come to[A]morrow[G]
and many more will be [D]erased
Cause out beyond the docks [A]of Rota
[G]upon the bottom of the[D] sea
Along the miles of copper [A]cable
[G]from the Gulf of Cad[D]iz

[Verse 7]
[A]They tap the lines to hear the sounds that start
the songs the rebels [D]sing[G][D][G][A]
And drag a net to seine the bottom for
the purse the bastard[D]s b[G]ring[D]

[Verse 8]
And like a [G]lion don't [D]mind
if a [G]lamb takes [D]her time
A [G]beast doesn't [D]care if
you [A]surrender [G]tonight
Cause a beast knows she'll [D]get
what [A]she wants in [G]good time
What she [Bm]wants [G]all in [A]good time
[G]

[Verse 9]
Set adrift into her swarm-man
o [D]o w[A]ar[G]
Caught up in her dangling
sting-off the [D]the shore[A]
[G]Of a foreign brown sand beach as [Bm]blue [A]bottles[G][A][Bm]
[A]cov[G]er you

[Outro 1]
