Stich - Cradle Of The Deep

Chorus
        Am                     C
He was born on the crest of a wave
       D                     Am
Rocked in the cradle of the deep
     Am
His eyes were stars
      C
His teeth were spars
             D                   E
He played guitar with shark teeeeeeeth. (With shark teeth)

       Am              C
Land lovers couldn’t hold-fast
     D                     Am
At night mermaids kept him warm
  Am                    C
Rocking him under the Northern Star
  D                   Am
Until this song was born

Verse 1
         Am
As the white caps rose
    C
Un-der the stars
       D           Am
And a full bloody moon
 Am                 C
Frets gripped as strings ripped
          D            E
Spitting tar inside spitoons

     Am                  C
His hair was hemp and seaweed
     D                          Am
At night he played walking the plank
         Am
When he went ashore
      C
Got free pint pours
           D                   Am
And made love along the river bank

Chorus
        Am                     C
He was born on the crest of a wave
       D                     Am
Rocked in the cradle of the deep
     Am
His eyes were stars
      C
His teeth were spars
             D                   E
He played guitar with shark teeeeeeeth. (With shark teeth)

       Am              C
Land lovers couldn’t hold-fast
     D                     Am
At night mermaids kept him warm
  Am                    C
Rocking him under the Southern Cross
  D                  Am
Until this song was born

Verse 2
     Am                    C
His solos swelled like a gale force winds
          D                       Am
Whippin seas like you wouldn’t believe
     Am                      C
The waves white caps came crashing down
          D                     E
But the ship he just couldn’t leave

      Am
The thunder rumbled
             C
And the lightening cracked
          D              Am
Leaving scars up in the sky
         Am              C
Telling God if you’re closing curtains
            D              Am
Let this ballad be my good bye

Chorus
        Am                     C
He was born on the crest of a wave
       D                     Am
Rocked in the cradle of the deep
     Am
His eyes were stars
      C
His teeth were spars
             D                   E
He played guitar with shark teeeeeeeth. (With shark teeth)

       Am              C
Land lovers couldn’t hold-fast
     D                     Am
At night mermaids kept him warm
  Am                    C
Rocking him under the Northern Star
  D                  Am
Until this song was born

Bridge
    Am                     C
The eye of the storm was above him
          D                   Am
He cap-sized while hauling it in
       Am                      C
If you put your ear against a sea shell
          D                             Am
You can still hear mermaids calling for him

Chorus
        Am                     C
He was born on the crest of a wave
       D                     Am
Rocked in the cradle of the deep
     Am
His eyes were stars
      C
His teeth were spars
             D                   E
He played guitar with shark teeeeeeeth. (With shark teeth)

       Am              C
Land lovers couldn’t hold-fast
     D                     Am
At night mermaids kept him warm
  Am                    C
Rocking him under the Southern Cross
  D                  Am
Until this song was born
