Ballad Of The Briny

Tom : E
G#m D#m B
The fishes are my friends
G#m D#m B
Here beneath the sea
G#m D#m B
Swimming all around
G#m D#m B
They're foot-massaging me
G#m D#m B
The octopus says "Hi"
G#m D#m B
I say "How do you do?"
G#m D#m B
He's quite the gentleman
G#m D#m B
To give me eight salutes

[Chorus]
G#m F#m E G#m F#m E
I'm at home here in the briny
G#m F#m E G#m F#m E
Since I've found out you don't want me

[Verse 2]
G#m D#m B
The crew thought I was nuts
G#m D#m B
Jumping overboard
G#m D#m B
But what'd I have to lose?
G#m D#m B
Except pains inside my gourd
G#m D#m B
Except pains inside my heart
G#m D#m B
They wouldn't let mе be
G#m D#m B
Now I'm better off
G#m D#m B
Captain of thе sea

[Chorus]
G#m F#m E G#m F#m E
And I'm at home here in the briny
G#m F#m E G#m F#m E
Since I've found out you don't want me
G#m F#m E G#m F#m E
Yeah, I'm at home here in the briny
G#m F#m E G#m F#m E
Since I've found out you don't want me

[Bridge]
G#m
I went to schools
F#m A#m
I went to ministry
G#m F#m A#m
But they don't match the soothing of the sea
G#m F#m A#m
I'm back where I began my primal life
G#m F#m A#m
I am dissolved into the murky brine

[Solo]
E F#m G#m (x2)
  D#m     C#
B (x4)
(You wanted me to be a practical man
And now I see how things were)

[Chorus]
[Outro]
  G#m      D#m
C#m B A#m (x4)
  G#m        B
A#m B G#m (x4)
