Intro: 



verse 1 

A/G   A                  A/G       A 
One day as I was sailing on the Caribbean Sea 
    G                             A                 
I spied a little fishing vessel drifting aimlessly 
A/G  A                            A/G       A 
Her sails were torn and tattered, and her wheel was spinning free 
   G                                  A 
I told myself that little boat sure looks a lot like me 

A/G A 


verse 2 

A/G   A                      A/G     A 
As I pulled along beside her and I climbed upon her deck 
        G                               A 
In the silence I could feel the hair a-rising on my neck 
   A/G  A                            A/G     A 
And I thought as I walked through the empty quarters down below 
      G                             A 
That lost abandoned vessel was the sister of my soul 

A/G A 

                D 
'Cause like a ship without a rudder I'm just drifting with the tide 
          A                G             A 
And each day I'm drawing closer to the brink 
         D 
Just a speck upon the waters of an ocean deep and wide 
        E                          A 
I won't even make a ripple when I sink

verse 3 
  
B/A     B                     B/A       B 
In the emptiness my footsteps were like echoes in a cave 
      A                                    B 
That seemed to say there ain't no way to leave this floating grave 
     B/A      B                      B/A      B 
And when I scrambled to the deck my ship had vanished like a dream 
         A                               B 
Leaving nothing but the lonely waves to hear my silent scream 

B/A A 
  
                E 
'Cause like a ship without a rudder I'm just drifting with the tide 
          B                A             B 
And each day I'm drawing closer to the brink 
         E 
Just a speck upon the waters of an ocean deep and wide 
        F#                         B 
I won't even make a ripple when I sink
