 Shiver Me Timbers       (T.Waits)
 -----------------
 Gb             Cb/Db
 I'm leaving my family
 Gb             Ebm7
 leaving all my friends
 Gb           Ab7
 my body's at home
        Abm9/Gb       Db7
 but my hearts in the wind
           Gb              Cb/Db
 where the clouds are like headlines
      Gb            Ebm7 
 on a new frontpage sky
    Gb             Ab7
 my tears are salt water
      Abm9/Gb  Db7  Gb
 and the moons full and high
 
 And I know Martin Eden's
 gonna be proud of me
 many before me
 has been drawn by the sea
 To be up in the crow's nest 
 singing my say
 Shiver me Timbers
 as I'm sailing away
 
 
 -----    Ebm7     
 /Now the fog's lifting 
          D7/Bb      
  and the sand's shifting
      Gb/Cb       Ab9
  I'm drifting on out
 
  Old captain Ahab
               Db7sus4   Db7
  he ain't got nothing on me
 
 {repeat chords as above}
 
  So swallow me , follow me
  I'm travelling alone
  Blue waters my daughter
  I'm gonna skip like a stone
 ---------
 
 
 so please call my misses
 tell her not to cry
 'cause my googbye is written
 by the moon in the sky
 Nobody knows me
 I can't fathom my stayin'
 shiver me timbers
 as I'm sailing away
 
 ------
 /Now the fogs liftin'......
 
 
 ------
 
 I'm leaving my family
 leaving all my friends
 my body's at home 
 but my hearts in the wind
 where the clouds are like headlines
 on a new frontpage sky
 shiver me timbers
 as I'm sailing  goodbye........
  
  Some people play hard to get, I play hard to want
