Is your jewellery still lost in the sand
G D C
Out on the coast, or rushed into the brine?
G D C
You left your rings on the shoreline
G D C
So you wouldn't lose them swimming in the shallows
D G C
A plastic shovel, soft sweaty children far from home
D G C
On vacation not unlike your very own
C G D C
And the captain howdy lit upon my shoulder
G D C
And he left me with sulphur and rooms full of headaches
G D C
I fell in with snakes in the poisoned ranks of strangers
G D C
Please send me more yellow birds for the dim interior
D G C
Will my pony recognise my voice in hell?
D G C
Will he still be blind, or do they go by smell?
D G C
Will you promise not to rest me out at sea
D G C
But on a fiery river boat that's rickety?
D G C
I'll never find my pony along the rolling swell
D G C
A muddy river or a lake would do me well
D G C
With hints of amber sundowns and moody thunderstorms
G C D
A sunken barge's horns, with the cold rusty bells
