Dm C F1 Dm
As you lie before me now, like a shadow
C Dm
On a pea green sea
F1 Dm
Never thought that I could find you so hollow
C Dm
Laying into me
F2 E
But this cup of wine
Am G1
All salt and brine makes me sleepy
D* F2
A sorrow so
E Am G1
A field of tears, that will never yield a single penny
D* F2
But I don't know
E Am
I've got nothing to hold on to
Dm C F1 Dm
Wished for gold so I could buy you a palace
C Dm
By the riverside
F1 Dm
You'd come in and I would fill your diamond chalice
C Dm
You were still alive
F2 E
But this cup of wine
Am G1
All salt and brine makes me sleepy
D* F2
A sorrow so
E Am G1
A field of tears, that will never yield a single penny
D* F2
But I don't know
E Am G1 D* F2
I've got nothing to hold on to
