D     A#        G
When waters is rough,
Sailing is tough
I'll will drown in your love

Chorus:
C                            F
You've got a cut throat crew, I'm gonna sink under you
A#                                 C                     D
I got the bell bottom blues, It's gonna be the death of me

It's the graveyard watch
Running right on the rocks
I've taken all of the knocks

Chorus:
You ain't giving me no quarter, I'd rather drink sea water
I wish I'd never had brought yer, It's gonna be the death of me

C
Soul Survivor

When you're flying the flag
My confidence sags
You got me packing my bags

Chorus:
I'll stow away at sea, you make me mutiny
Where you are I won't be, you're gonna be the death of me

C
Soul Survivor
