The Decemberists - The Mariners Revenge Song chords with lyrics - Picaresque

Am _ _ _ _ _ _ G _ Am _ .
_ Here we go.
_ _ _ _ _ .
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ .
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ .
_ _ _ _ _ We are two mariners, a ship's sole survivors, in this belly of a E whale.
_ _ .
_ Its ribs are ceiling beams, its guts are carpeting, I guess we have some time Am to kill.
_ _ _ You may not remember me, I was a child of three, and you a lad of E eighteen.
_ _ _ .
But I remember you, and I will relate to you, how our history's in Am a weave.
_ _ _ F At the time you were a rake and a _ Am _ rastabow, _ .
_ F _ spending all your money on the hoards E and howls.
_ _ .
F _ E Oh, _ Am oh, you had a charming air, so deep and ebony, _ my widowed mother found E so sweet.
_ _ _ .
And so she took you in, her sheets so warm and him, now filled with filth and Am foul disease.
_ _ F As time wore on, you proved a dead, ridden, Am drunken _ _ mess.
_ F Leaving my mother a pork and some dear E _ _ _ .
F ranch.
_ E Oh, _ Am oh, and then you disappeared, your gambling arrears, the only thing you left E behind.
_ .
_ _ And then the magistrate reclaimed our small estate, and my poor mother lost her mind.
Am _ _ F Then one day in spring, my dear sweet mother _ Am _ .
died.
_ F But boy, she did, I took her hand as she E dying _ cried.
_ F _ Oh, E _ _ .
oh, Dm it _ _ _ _ D _ .
_ _ _ _ _ Am _ _ _ .

took me G fifteen Am years to swallow all my G Am tears, among the urchins in E the street.
_ _ _ _ Until a prior mayor took pity and hired me to keep their best street Am nice and clean.
_ .
_ F But never once in the employ of these holy _ Am _ .
men, A _ F did I ever once turn my mind from the thought of E revenge.
_ _ _ _ _ F _ _ .
E Oh, oh, _ _ Am one night I overheard the prior exchanging words E with a penitent whaler from the sea.
_ _ .
The _ captain of his ship, who met you toe to tip, was known for one cruel Am.
thing.
_ _ F The following day I shipped a sea with a _ Am _ privateer, _ _ F and in the whistle of the wind I could E almost hear.
_ _ .
_ F _ _ E Oh, _ oh, Dm I _ _ _ _ _ _ _ .

say to you, C _ _ _ .
as you sail G across the sea, _ .
_ Am _ _ _ always your A mother Em will watch over you, F _ _ .
as you avenge E this wicked deed.

_ _ Am _ And then that fateful night, we had you in our sight, after E twenty months at sea.
_ _ _ .
You starboard flanker beam, I was getting my muskets clean, when came this rumbling G# from Am beneath.
_ _ _ _ F _ _ .
The ocean shook, the sky went black, and the captain Am _ quailed, _ as F did four us crew, the angry joys of a giant E whale.
_ _ _ _ .
_ _ _ Fm _ E _ _ _ _ .
C# _ _ _ _ E _ _ E _ _ .
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ .
_ Am _ So now how I survived, the crew all was chewed alive, I must have slipped between E his teeth.
_ _ _ .
But oh, what _ providence, what divine intelligence, _ that you should survive as well as Am.
me.
_ _ F It gives my eye great joy to see your eyes filled with Am fear.
_ .
_ F So lean in close, and I will whisper the last E words you'll hear.
_ _ .
_ F _ Oh, E _ oh.
