Verse 

Em                   D 
Once upon a time my existence 
      Am         B7         Em 
Was defined by ambition and trade 
         G              
Now it’s gone just like this 
             Bm        D 
The remnants of the exodus 
     C         Am         Em 
At a loss, all alone and afraid 



[Refrão]
    Asus2            Em 
The fire has left me long ago 
     C     G            D 
Once I was bristlin and brave 
        C 
Now I’m destined to wither 
      G         Em 
On an errand of fools 
       Am       B7       G           D 
And to lie in a mariners grave,    yeah 


Interlude 

Em  Em  D   D  
Am  B7  B7     


Verse 

      Em 
I was worn with the stress 
        D  
And the weight of progress 
       Am         B7         Em 
In the foremost uncertain of days 
    G         
Comatose, dark & still 
         Bm                 D 
Bave the means but lost the will 
            C        Am       Em 
To take the fight to imposing ways 


Chorus 

    Asus2            Em 
The fire has left me long ago 
     C     G            D 
Once I was bristlin and brave 
        C 
Now I’m destined to wither 
      G         Em 
On an errand of fools 
       Am       B7       G            D 
And to lie in a mariners grave,   Bey-ey

Verse 

     C                G 
Once I was branded in gold 
    Em   G            C 
Now I’m abandoned and sold 
                      G 
Servant, sentinel and slave 
          Am       B        G    
Doomed to lie in a mariners grave 
     C                G 
Once I was a summer domain 
    Em   G        C 
Now only winter remains 
                     G 
Drawn, quartered and flayed 
          Am       B        G 
Doomed to lie in a mariners grave
