[Intro]
Gm Bb C Gm F C
Gm Bb C Gm F C
[Verse]
Gm Bb C
The boy child is locked in the fisherman's yard
Gm Bb C
There's a bloodless moon where the oceans die
Gm Bb C
A shoal of night stars hang fire in the nets
Gm Bb C
And the chaos of cages where the crayfish lie
Gm Bb C
Where is the fisherman, where is the goat,
Gm Bb C
Where is the keeper in his carrion coat?
Gm Bb C
Eclipse on the moon when the dark bird flies
Gm Bb C
Where is the child with his father's eyes?
C Bb
[Bridge]
Gm Bb C F Gm
He's the king of the ninth world
Gm Bb C F Gm
The twisted son of the fog bells' toll
Gm Bb C F Gm
In each and every lobster cage, a tortured human soul
[Pre-Chorus]
Bb Bbsus2
These are the souls of the broken factories
Bb Bbsus2
The subject slaves of the broken crown
Bb Bbsus2
The dead accounting of old guilty promises
Bb C
These are the souls of the broken town
[Chorus]
Gm Bb C
These are the soul cages
Gm F C
These are the soul cages
Gm Bb C
These are the soul cages
Gm Bb C
These are the soul cages

[Verse]
Am C D G
'I have a wager,' the brave child spoke
Am C D G
The fisherman laughed though disturbed at the joke
Am C D G
'You will drink what I drink But you must equal me,
Am C D
And if the drink leaves me standing, A soul shall go free'
Am C D
'I have here a cask of most magical wine
Am C D
A vintage that blessed every ship in the line
Am C D
It's wrung from the blood of the sailors who died
Am C D
Young white bodies adrift in the tide'
Am C D
'And what's in it for me, my pretty young thing?
Am C D
Why should I whistle when the caged bird sings?
Am C D
If you lose a wager with the king of the sea
Am C D
You'll spend the rest of forever in the cage with me'
[Chorus]
Am C D
These are the soul cages
Am C D
These are the soul cages
Am C D
These are the soul cages
Am C D
These are the soul cages
[Bridge]
Am C D
A body lies open in the fisherman's yard like
Am C D
The side of a ship where the iceberg rips
Am C D
One less soul in the soul cages
Am G D
One last curse on the fisherman's lips
[Chorus]
Am C D
These are the soul cages
Am C D
These are the soul cages
Am C D
These are the soul cages
Am C D
These are the soul cages
Am C D
These are the soul cages
[Outro]
Dsus2 A
And he dreamed of a ship on the sea
Dsus2 A
It would carry his father and he
Dsus2 A
To a place they could never be found
Dsus2 A
To a place far away from this town
Dsus2 A
A Newcastle ship with no coals
Dsus2 A
They would sail to the island of souls
B Bsus2
