Flogging Molly – Cruel Mistress (Ukulele)

G                D
Next time out to sea

G                         D
Bring enough soil to bury me

C                    Bb
For I don't want my final jig

       D  C  Bb A G
In the belly of a squid

G                        D
Take my trousers take my shirt

G                       D
Just give me that sweet dirt

C                        Bb
For the water's cold and grim

       D    C    Bb   A  G
And I never did learn to swim

G                        D
No her love never set me free

G                    D
So I set off for the ocean

C                          Bb
Now in my dreams she comes to me

D   C  Bb  A  G
Whispering of peace

G                        D
But I've known since the day

G                        D
That we sailed for Santiago

C                     Bb
Her dry embrace would kiss my face

D  C  Bb  A  G
No never No more

G            C     D
The sea is a cruel mistress

G            C     D
The sea is a cruel mistress

G                 D
Many moons to the day

G                     D
That I threw her love away

C                      Bb
Now every whale spouts go to hell

D      C     Bb    A     G
As the wind laughs in my face

G                        D
I've grown harder on the eyes

G                D
And salty to the taste

C                      Bb
My pride has gone with the wake

     D    C Bb   A   G
As I wait a cold wet grave

G             D
I rose to the smell

G               D
Of a wet desert hell

C                Bb
And I thought to myself

        D    C  Bb A    G
How'd I wind up in this jail

G                      D
Till a voice called to me

G                    D
From deep within the sea

C                    Bb
Dry your eyes my dear fisherman

     D   C Bb    A  G
Your ass belongs to me

G            C     D
The sea is a cruel mistress

G            C     D
The sea is a cruel mistress
