[Verse 1]
Am Em
Curse at your captain, and stow me below.
Fmaj7 C/G
Hold me amongst all your cards.
Am Em
Oh we were sea bound, and aimless at best.
Fmaj7 C/G
Clutching to the wheel, and those charts.
G Am Am Riff
But that sea is just a gambler at heart.
Am Em
Oh there we were, and the sun hit the starboard.
Fmaj7 C/G
And we were as free as we could be.
Am Em
We waited for land. Oh we waited for the
Fmaj7 C/G
We aimed to stay calm and cool.
G Am Am Riff
And that sea is just a gambling fool.
[Chorus]
Fmaj7 C/G
Come to me Mary come.
Am Em
You know you once were Queen.
Fmaj7 C/G Cmaj9 Am
The ocean is, holding all the Kings.

Tossed aside the weary.

C/G Fmaj7
How I'd love to steer you straight into the water.
Am Em
While those daunting clouds above begin to pour.
Fmaj7 C/G Cmaj9 Am
And when were found, Ah we'll kiss that ground.
Fmaj7 C/G Cmaj9 Am Am Riff
And roll around on that lovers' floor.
[Chorus]
Fmaj7 C/G
Come to me Mary come.
Am Em
You know you once were Queen.

The ocean is, holding all the Kings.
