F     A#     C               A#
Black fins, waitin' for the tide to roll
Back in, soakin' in the sun, and I know
It's just another little piece of ocean trash and
Not you, just a little ghost I keep around

A#  C           A#              F A# C A#
A funny shadow always hanging now

Chorus:
        F                A#
If your ashes sprang to life
                       C
Would you just let me down?
           F                 A#
Would you leave those kids again
                     C
And kick 'em out of town?
   F                 A#
I guess we'll never know
  C               A#
I'll just be here wondering
      F                 A#
What made you choose to go
     C            A#          F A# C A#
The day you went down to Mexico
        F A# C A#
To Mexico

Black fins, full of life again, and suddenly
It's all pretend, every manic word you wrote us
Now there's time to mend
Every broken heart that you left
In your gust of wind, no more little ghost
I keep around
(No more little ghost I keep around)
No more funny shadow in my house
(No more funny shadow in my house)

Chorus:
If your ashes sprang to life
Would you just let me down?
Would you leave those kids again
And kick 'em out of town?
I guess we'll never know
I'll just be here wondering
What made you want to go
The day you went down to Mexico

Black fins, one more metaphor for scuba gear
Black fins, wish I would've known you
through the years
Black fins, wish I never went to Illinois
Black fins, fillin' up on milk and Chips Ahoy
Black fins (Black fins)
Black fins (Black fins)
Black fins (Black fins)
Black fins

F
(No more little ghost I keep around)
(No more funny shadow in my house)
(No more little ghost I keep around)
No more funny shadow in my home
(No more funny shadow in my home)
No more little ghost I keep around
