Siren (CHORDS) by Joan Shelley

C                  Am                   C
You're lost on a sea that you sailed on

        Am                       C
now its cold and rough where you are

C

       C
It's a harsh wind blowing

              G
but I did not cause this storm you see

               F         Am
I've just been here,, open-armed

   G
invitingly


          C                        Am
I've been alone on this sea for so long

            F                    Am
I wanted to touch,, I had to feel love

C               G            C
Before these waves took me under

G                                  Am
But Aden you came to me in the dark

      G
in the dark

G
and as gentle as a siren can be

   Am              G
I caught you and I held you down


          C
Oh if the pink light of morning

                   Am
would wash all the demons out of here

         F                Am
I could lie down on your ground

   C                G
and pull my body near


            C                      Am
But all the knots in my stomach are telling,,

                   F
there's no where to rest,,

                   Am
there's no place to go,,

           C             G
and the shadows they keep on

          Am
with their shanty song


F - Am - C - G
F - Am - C - G
G


Am                                           G
It's the darkest horse that's chasing me down

Am
And the gods here have no care

         G
where you go when you drown

F             Am                      C
I've been mistaken for something I'm not

               G
for something I wished I could be

F           Am
Pretty and fine,,

                C
I'd draw the line

                G
at just singing soothingly

F                 Am
but I've been a liar

           C
I have been ugly

        G
I can be ugly


F - Am - C - G
F - Am - C - G
F - Am - C - G
F - Am - C - G


          F                       Am
And we'll join the Venture and the Morning Star

       C               G
Singing haul away my laddie-o!!!


F - Am - C - G
F - Am - C - G


C                  Am                   C
You're lost on a sea that you sailed on

        Am
now its cold and rough
