[Verse 1]
Em Am C D
They ride beneath the waves at twenty-thousand leagues
Em Am C D
On stallions stitched to seaweed strands, so smiling, so smiling
Em Am C D
They herd the fishes of the deep, they ride for you and for me
Em Am C Bm Em
They ranch the rich and the sunken soil at the bottom of the sea
C D G Am
And in the dead of night, alive in sleep I hear them calling me
C D G D C Bm Em
Them deep sea desperados, them midnight maelstrom freaks, the cowboys of the sea
[Verse 2]
Em Am C D
On wings of sleep I pierce the deep and ride like a hurricane
Em Am C Bm
At midnight still I paid my bill and turned my back on the land
Am C F Em
With the help of Old Paint, that seaweed nag, it’s just Jesse James and me
Am Em C Bm Em
We ride the depths and rob the banks at the bottom of the sea
[Bridge]
C D Dsus4 G Am
With a seaman’s grip on navigation and some fired, hired hands
C D C Bm Em
We set forth to confront the nation and lend a cowboy’s hand
[Verse 3]
Em Am C Bm D
Well, we do the dolphins dance duet, my mermaid babe and me
Em Am C D
And I ride on into blue sunset at the bottom of the sea
Am C F Em
With a seaman’s grip on submarining and some aqualung outlaws
Am Em C Bm Em
Our guns are made of solid dreaming and bullets of the cause
C D G Am
And with hand held high to touch the sky a good Texas Ranger I’ll be
C Dsus4 C Bm Em
But sometimes I feel like a lone stranger ‘midst the cowboys of the sea
C D G Am
Oh, and man above he cannot make love, he must rape his mother sea
C C/B D C Bm Em
Because of his greed we’re a vanishing breed, we cowboys of the sea
