[Verse]
C D
I sailed with Miss Columbus for a trip across the sea
C G C D
The horizon was behind me when I found that I was free
C G C D
I smashed the glass I drank from, drove it deep into my arm
C G C G D C G
Tell me how do you feel, now you're back on the farm?
[Verse]
C D
She put me on the periscope and told me she was lost
C G C D
She said she was expensive, but I did not mind the cost
C G C D
I said her deep-sea diver did not mean her any harm
C G C G D C G
Tell me how do you feel, now you're back on the farm?
[Instrumental]
D C G C
[Bridge]
D G
I rang the bell of freedom
D G
Drank from the well of plenty
C G
The milk of human kindness
Am D
Was succour to my soul
G
I took her to the masthead
D G
And showed her my conditions
C G
She promised me the cargo
F D
That she carried in her hold
[Verse]
A D E
The sails were set for sunrise when we found the wind had dropped
D A D E
I tried to make the time up, but the clock had somehow stopped
D A D E
A fire broke out below the decks and I sounded the alarm
D A D A E D A
Tell me how do you feel, now you're back on the farm?
[Verse]
D E
Now you might think it strange of me to write to you this way
D A D E
For years I was a farmer, but I could not make it pay
D A D E
Yet here I am a sailor and I feel a sense of calm
D A D A
Tell me how do you feel, now you're back on the farm?
