Chords

From the album Unseen [INTRO] G [VERSE 1]
  G             D             G
Wrapped in the weeds of the shallows 

C                          G
   In the moon's drifting light 

 C                G
Calling from the cold, wet rocks, 

           D           G
the sea ro-ose of the low tides
[VERSE 2]
   G        D             G
A passing ship along the coast 

C                   G
   heard her sadly calling 

     C               G  F#/G Em
and turned its sails to the sound, 

        G         D        G
of the rose, the sea rose calling
[REFRAIN]
        Em         D           G
In the waves, the waves she's calling
[CHORUS]
 D                   C       G
Lonely, lonely, my heart is dark 

C       G                D
   the rocks lie cold beneath me

       C             G F#/G Em
Come closer, closer darling one

       G  D         G   
We'll marry in the seaweed
[SOLO]
   G       D          G              C                    G

[VERSE 3]
G                D             G
On the passing ship, a sailor boy, 

C                         G
   he heard the sea rose calling 

      C              G  F#/G Em
and from the bow he dove on down 

        G          D         G
to the waves, the waves are falling
[REFRAIN]
     Em         C          G
The waves, the waves were falling
[VERSE 4]
 G     D               G
Come, come my darling boy 

C                  G
    into my arms awaiting

 C                 G    F#/G  Em
Down, down in the cold, dark sea 

     G  D            G
I'm waiting here to love you
[CHORUS]
D                 C     G
To her arms, her lovely arms, 

C       G                     D     
   the currents pulled him splashing, 

 C               G    F#/G     Em
but her body was only foaming waves 

         G    D             G
and her voice   just water rushing
[OUTRO]
        Em        C        G
In the waves the sea rose falling

        Em         D         G
In the waves, the waves, my darling

     Em         D        C      G
The waves, the sea rose calling
