Em                        Am     C              D
They ride beneath the waves at twenty-thousand leagues

  Em                         Am          C              D
On stallions stitched to seaweed strands, so smiling, so smiling

     Em              Am                 C                     D
They herd the fishes of the deep, they ride for you and for me

      Em                     Am                 C    Bm      Em  |  %
They ranch the rich and the sunken soil at the bottom of the sea

             C              D              G                 Am
And in the dead of night, alive in sleep I hear them calling me

      C              D          G                   D          C      Bm     Em  |  %  |  %  |  % |
Them deep sea desperados, them midnight maelstrom freaks, the cowboys of the sea

Em                   Am                  C                  D
On wings of sleep I pierce the deep and ride like a hurricane

   Em                Am               C                      Bm
At midnight still I paid my bill and turned my back on the land

          Am                      C                      F               Em
With the help of Old Paint, that seaweed nag, it's just Jesse James and me

Am                        Em                   C     Bm     Em  |  %
  We ride the depths and rob the banks at the bottom of the sea

       C                 D        Dsus4           G           Am
With a seaman's grip on navigation    and some fired, hired hands

C                      D                    C     Bm      Em  |  %  |  %  |  %
  We set forth to confront the nation and lend a cowboy's hand

Em                       Am              C      Bm       D
Well, we do the dolphins dance duet, my mermaid babe and me

       Em          Am                  C             D
And I ride on into blue sunset at the bottom of the sea

        Am                C                    F        Em
With a seaman's grip on submarining and some aqualung outlaws

Am                   Em                  C      Bm       Em
Our guns are made of solid dreaming and bullets of the cause

           C                D                  G                  Am
And with hand held high to touch the sky a good Texas Ranger I'll be

      C                      Dsus4                    C      Bm     Em  |  %  |  %  |  %
But sometimes I feel like a lone stranger 'midst the cowboys of the sea

        C                D                      G                  Am
Oh, and man above he cannot make love, he must rape his mother sea

     C                    C/B  D                  C      Bm     Em
Because of his greed we're a vanishing breed, we cowboys of the sea
