Chorus 
D                     A 
My name is Donald Crowhurst, I'm alive and well 
F#m             E 
I lost radio signal in pacific swells 
D                  A 
I've seen 30 foot waves, a blue whale 
F#m                     E 
I saw the end of the world open up its sails 
D                 A 
Got lost in the summer of '69 
F#m                 E 
I led you all to believe that I was doing fine 
D                    A 
This isn't the way I wanted it to end 
  F#m                       E 
I went to see the globe in gold and vivid red 


Instrumental 
D   A   F#m   E 


verse 1 
D               F#m 
What have I got myself into? 
A                      E 
Why'd it turn out this way? 
D                    F#m 
I hitched my bets on something bigger:  
   A             E 
To climb the Everest of waves 

D                     F#m 
I knew exactly what I wanted to find 
      A                 E 
And I fear I've been deceived 
   D                     F#m 
It wasn't in the plan to lie to you all 
       A                  E 
But become the first king of the sea

verse 2 
D                 F#m 
I might have lost count 
         A                       E                   
But two hundred and forty three days I've found that 
D                    F#m 
I've been aimlessly drifting apart 
      A                     E 
From where should I be and where did I start 
     D                F#m 
And why did this end, how is this real 
A                        E 
Why is this happening to me? 
                D     F#m 
I didn't get an R S V P 
         A                E 
When I crowned myself the first king of the sea

My name is Donald Crowhurst, this might be it 
F#m           E 
I never even left the Atlantic 
D                           A 
I've been lying for months, I've been struggling to cope 
F#m                         E   
I saw the end of the world, and I think I broke 
D                 A 
I got lost in the summer of '69 
F#m                 E 
I led you all to believe that I was doing fine
