[Db] [Abm]
[Abm]
[Db] [Abm]
[Db] The world is locked in the fisherman's lair [Abm] A bloodless moon where the oceans [Db] dry
[Ab] The show of night stars hang fire [Db] in their nets In the [Abm] chaos of cages where the [Db] crayfish
lie [Abm] Where is the fisherman?
Where is the [Db] boat?
[Abm] Where is the keeper in his [Db] carrying coat?
[Abm] Eclipse of the moon [Eb] when the dark [Gb] bird flies [Abm] Where is the child with his father's [Db] eye?
[Ab]
[Abm] He's the king of the ninth [Db] world [Ab] Twisted son of the fog [B] bell's toll
In [Abm] each and every [Db] lobster cage I [Ab] torture June's soul
[Db]
[B] These are the souls of the broken factories Subject slaves of the broken clown
That are counting out all guilty promises These are the souls of the broken [Abm] town
These are the [Db] soul haters [Abm] These are the [Db] soul haters
[Abm] These are the [Db] soul haters [Abm] These are the [Db] soul haters
[Bbm]
[Dbm]
[Bbm]
[Dbm]
[Bbm] I am the wager of the bridge I'll [Eb] smoke the [Bbm] fisherman left
Boat is stirred up [Eb] and soaked You will [Bb] drink what I drink but you must stick with [Eb] me
If [Bbm] the drink leaves me standing My soul should [Eb] go free
[Bbm] I'll offer a custom of magical [Eb] winery [Bbm] A vintage but blessed every ship in the [Eb] line
It's [Bb] grown from the blood of [Bbm] the sailors who [Eb] died
[Bbm] Young white bodies that drift in [Eb] the tide [Bbm] Consider for me my pretty young [Eb] few
[Bbm] Why should I whistle when the cage birds [Eb] sing?
If you [Bbm] lose a waiter, the king of the [Eb] sea You'll spend [Bbm] the rest of forever in the caves [Eb] with me
[Bbm] These are the [Eb] soul haters [Bbm] These are the soul [Eb] haters
[Bbm] These are the [Eb] soul haters [Bbm] These are the soul [Eb] haters
[Bbm] A body lies open in the fisherman's [Bb] yard Like the [Bbm] side of a ship where the [Db] iceberg rips
[Eb] One less soul in the soul [Db] cages [Eb] One [Bbm] last curse on the [Eb] fisherman's lip
[Bbm] These are the soul [Eb] haters [Bbm] These are the soul [Eb] haters
[Bbm] These are the [Db]
soul haters [G] These are the [Gb]
soul haters
[Bbm] These are the [Ab] soul haters [G] These are the [Gb] soul haters
[Bb] And [Dm] he [Eb] dreamed of a ship on the [Gm] sea It would carry his father [Bb] and me
To a [Eb] place they could never [C] be [Gm] found To a place far away [Bb] this time
[Eb] A castle ship [Cm] without [Bb] coals We [Eb] were sails in [F] the island [Gm] not sown
[C] [Gm]
[C] [G] [C]
[G] [C]
[Gm]
[C] [Gm] These are the [C] soul haters [Gm] These are the soul haters
These are the [C] [Gm] soul haters [C] These [G] [Gm]
[C] are the soul [Bb] haters
[C] [Gm] [C]
This is [Gm] our [Bb] king
[C] [Gm] [C]
