E                        B
Colourful sailors washed up on the shore
E                     B
Caught up on bad times
Spider in the ditch, she saw it all
Went to train, ride to dance

Colorful sailors washed up on the shore
Met up on violence
Spider in the ditch, he saw it all
Waiting for the wrong time
