Am
The shadow of innocence gone
                          G
A childhood lost in the waves
         Am
For all time

Am
While pouring o'er volumes I lay
                           G
Like curses that echo the sea
          Am
Without rhyme


[Chorus]

G               F
Fortunes are drowned
          Am         G
Swallowed up by the sea
              F
Shackled in time
        Am          E
Never known, never seen


[Verse 2]

Am
The bottles are brimming below
                           G
The gallons of emptiness found
         Am
In the waves

Am
A circling vortex of time
                                 G
One thousand and more men are drowned
            Am
In their graves


[Chorus]

G           F
Echoes of pride
          Am         G
Swallowed up by the sea
              F
Shackled in time
       Am          E
Never lost, never seen


[Bridge]

Am C

Am C 

Am


[Chorus]

G               F
Fortunes are drowned
          Am         G
Swallowed up by the sea
            F
Echoes of pride
        Am          E
Now revealed, never seen


[Verse 3]

Am
This body is crooked and old
                                  G
But doubtless I'll live and I'll die
        Am
By the sea

Am
I'm wizened and tired and cold
                            G
But fire still burns in my mind
        Am
You can see


[Chorus]

G              F
Fortunes are found
        Am         G
Now revealed by degree
              F
Shackled in time
         Am            E
Now I'm lost with the sea
