VERSE 1:
Tuesday[F#/G] at dawn Michael’s glasses washed ashore
with a styro[F#/G]foam box and two broken oars.
He’d been digging [F#/G]for clams in the muddy swamp weeds
when he heard the [F#/G]salt water whisper to him,

CHORUS:
“Lie down, lie down in the dark rolling sea.
When you get to the bottom we’ll kiss you to sleep.”
“Lie down, lie down in the dark rolling sea.
When you get to the bottom we’ll kiss you to sleep.”

INTERLUDE:

VERSE 2:
Michael threw [F#/G]his glasses in the cold green water.
Hermit [F#/G]crabs ran as he dove down under.
One of[F#/G] his shoes bobbed on the waves.
Sea[F#/G]gulls circled ‘til it finally sank.

CHORUS:
“Lie down, lie down in the dark rolling sea.
When you get to the bottom we’ll kiss you to sleep.”
“Lie down, lie down in the dark rolling sea.
When you get to the bottom we’ll kiss you to sleep.”

Out in the heather where the sun burns bright
she swore she’d love me the rest of her life
But, my hands they shook as the noon bells chimed
so at the last bell I showed her my knife

And I laid to rest my beautiful bride
out in the heather where the sun burns bright
And I laid to rest my beautiful bride
out in the heather where the sun burns bright

Now all alone under the cool night sky
where locusts scream and white moths fly
silvery moonbeams fall on her grave
but twisting black vines have covered her name

For I loved too much my beautiful bride
and so gave her up to the cool night sky
For I loved too much my beautiful bride
and so gave her up to the cool night sky
