Davey Jones Lyrics

I am a simple man

 G Dm
I learned to work with my hands out here on these waves

Sha, la, la, la, la, la

I guess I've always known

I would die alone here one cold November day

Sha, la, la, la, la, la


I heard that you did take

My brother in the morning another without warning

Sha, la, la, la, la, la

And who am I to think that I'd be any different as God as my witness


I saw Davy Jones underneath the water

With a thousand of my fathers calling me home

G F C ?Am
And I saw Davy Jones wavin' his black flag countin' up his bones


 C
They say when I was five

The day I cast my first line I fell over the port side

Sha, la, la, la, la, la

As I was sinkin' down

I heard my mama singing, I heard the church bells ringing

Sha, la, la, la, la, la

But when they pulled me in I felt him tuggin' my hand


 Am C
I saw Davy Jones underneath the water

With a thousand of my fathers calling me home

G F C ?Am
And I saw Davy Jones wavin' his black flag countin' up his bones
Now the waves have snapped the mast

G Dm ?Am
I'm takin' water so fast I let go of the lines

And I could feel my father's stare from beyond the grave somewhere

 Dm ?Am
As I fail him one last time

'
Cause I would never be the man he thought I should be

Dm ?Am
The lesser of his sons

So Jesus help me now, help me to forgive him
Dm

Before the darkness floods in


I saw Davy Jones underneath the water

With a thousand of my fathers calling me home

And I saw Davy Jones wavin' his black flag countin' up his bones
