Drones – Shark Fin Blues chords

Band: The Drones
Song: Shark Fin Blues
Album: Wait Long by the River and the Bodies of Your Enemies Will Float by
Tabber: Andrew Biles

At the bottom of the page I have written out an idea of what the rhythm
guitar does during this song.  The timing and voicings in the tab are not 
perfect so you will have to experiment a bit, but it's a decent basis.

The intro appears to be based around the chords I've tabbed out but, again,
you'll probably need to try a few hammer-ons and occasionally adjust your 
finger positions.
The outro is also picked around the chords provided.

Be sure to have a good distortion pedal at the ready and your whammy bar
attached.  It does sound great on acoustic too, though.


Standard tuning: E, A, D, G, B, e

 A                                      E                Standing on the deck I watch my shadow stretch
     G                          D      the sun pours my shadow upon the deck
     A                             E       the waters licking round my ankles now
      G                           D   there ain't no sun shine way way down

           A                                 E  I see the sharks in the water like slicks of ink
             G                             D    well, there's one there bigger than a submarine
       A                    E         as he circles I look in his eyes
            G                              D     I see Jonah in his belly by the camp fire light

         A                           E    see the albatross up in the windy lofts
            G                                   D      he gets to beating his wings while he sleeps it off
                   A                         E    I hear the jettisoned cries from his dream unkind
        G                              D    get to whippin' my ears like a riding crop

          A                              E    Well, the captain once as able as a fink daddy
          G                                     D     he's now laid up in the gallery like a dried out mink
             A                             E        He's laying dying of thirst and he says or I think
       G                         D     we're gonna be alone from here on in

         E                  well you are all my brothers
                  D     and you have been kind
         E                     D      but what were you expecting to find?
         E                         now your eyes turn inwards
              Bm       countenance turns blank
           C                               and I'm floating away on a barrel of pain
                                           E5     it looks like nothing but the sea and sky remain

 A                                       E      nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah

    A                          E    A harpoon's shaft is short and wide
    G                          D    a grappling hook's cracked and dry
          A                           E   I said, why don't you get down in the sea
 G                                 D       turn the water red like you want to be?

              A                                  E    'Cause if I cry another tear I'll be turned to dust
    G                                        D     the sharks won't get me but they don't feel loss
          A                                    E      keep one eye on the horizon man, you best not blink
                G                              D      they're coming fin by fin until the whole boat sinks
A       Efin by fin
G       Dfin by fin
A       Efin by fin
G             Dfin by fin by fin by fin
