[Verse 1]
[Em]Well
the first mate he mu[G]tinied
And [Bm]ports us to shore
With the [A]rations he was [D]generous
With the [Em]company he was poor
The boatswain he killed him[G]self
The [Bm]cabin boy was next
[B]This [A]is land is per[D]fidious
This [Em]island is [A]hexed[Bm][B][A][D][A][Em]
[E]For[Em] the first two years,
[D]I had[Em] a hope[A],
[Bm]my mind it was sound
[B]I e[A]xercised and f[D]antasized
[A]on [G]how I'd [A]soon [Em]be found
[E]But [Em]the storms they came
[D]and [Em]swept [A]away
[Bm]every [D]com[Bm]fort pla[B]nned
And [A]year by year, through my [D]fear,
[A]this was[G] my fi [A]nal[Em] lan[E]d[Em][A][G][Em][Bm][A][D]
[Bm][D][G][Em][A][G][Bm][A][D][Bm][D][G][Em]
Now it's seven years I've [G]been alone
It's [Bm]seven years of pain
The [A]memory [D]of your love
is [G]all [Em]that now remains
Tomorrow I will set to [A]sea
[Bm]one final time
[B]Then [A]David Jones can [D]take my bones,
[A]I'll lay[G] me [Em]down to die[D]
[Em][A][Bm][B][A][G][Em][E][Em]
[Em]7 years have passed aw[A]ay,
[Bm]7 ye[D]ars [B]of sand
The [A]empty skies, my [B]empty [Bm]eyes,
[D]this nev[A]er was[Em] the pla[E]n
Sev[Em]en years have passed aw[A]ay,
[B]seven [D]yea[B]rs of sand
The [A]empty skies, my empty [Bm]eye s,
[D]this nev[G]er was[A] the[Em] plan[E]
[Em]Sev en years have passed a[A]way,[G]
seven [Em]years [Bm]of sand
The [A]empty skies, my [D]empty [E]eyes,
[G#dim]this never was[G] the p[Em]lan
For seven years I've walked [A]away,
for seven [Bm]years I stand
The empty [A]skies, my empty eyes,
this never [Em]was the land
[E]For sev[Em]en years I've walked aw[A]ay,
for seven years [Bm]I stand
The [A]empty skies, my empty eyes,
this never was the land
You
