[Verse 1]
Em Am C D
They ride beneath the waves at twenty-thousand leagues
Em Am C D
On stallions stitched to seaweed strands, so smiling, so smiling
Em Am C D
They herd the fishes of the deep, they ride for you and for me
Em Am C Bm Em
They ranch the rich and the sunken soil at the bottom of the sea
C D G Am
And in the dead of night, alive in sleep I hear them calling me
C D G D C Bm Em
Them deep sea desperados, them midnight maelstrom freaks, the cowboys of the sea
[Verse 2]
Em Am C D
On wings of sleep I pierce the deep and ride like a hurricane
Em Am C Bm
At midnight still I paid my bill and turned my back on the land
Am C F Em
With the help of Old Paint, that seaweed nag, it's just Jesse James and me
Am Em C Bm Em
We ride the depths and rob the banks at the bottom of the sea
[Bridge]
C D Dsus4 G Am
With a seaman's grip on navigation and some fired, hired hands
C D C Bm Em
We set forth to confront the nation and lend a cowboy's hand
[Verse 3]
Em Am C Bm D
Well, we do the dolphins dance duet, my mermaid babe and me
Em Am C D
And I ride on into blue sunset at the bottom of the sea
Am C F Em
With a seaman's grip on submarining and some aqualung outlaws
Am Em C Bm Em
Our guns are made of solid dreaming and bullets of the cause
C D G Am
And with hand held high to touch the sky a good Texas Ranger I'll be
C Dsus4 C Bm Em
But sometimes I feel like a lone stranger 'midst the cowboys of the sea
C D G Am
Oh, and man above he cannot make love, he must rape his mother sea
C C/B D C Bm Em
Because of his greed we're a vanishing breed, we cowboys of the sea
They ride beneath the waves at 20,000 leagues
On stallions stitched to seaweed strands
So smiling, so smiling
They herd the fishes of the deep
They ride for you and me
They ranch the rich and the sunken soil
At the bottom of the sea
In the dead of night, alive in sleep
I hear them calling me
Them deep sea desperadoes
Them midnight maelstrom freaks
The cowboy of the sea
So on wings of sleep I pierce the deep
And ride like a hurricane
At midnight still I paid my bill
And turned my back on the land
With the help of Old Paint, that seaweed nag
It's just Jesse James and me
We ride the depths and rob the banks
At the bottom of the sea
With a seaman's grip on navigation
And some fired, hired hands
We set forth to confront the nation
And lend a cowboy's hand
We do the Dolphins' Dance duet
My mermaid babe and me
Then I ride of into the blue sunset
At the bottom of the sea
And with the seaman's grip on submarining
And some aqualung outlaws
Our guns are made of solid dreamin'
And bullets from a broken cause
And with hand held high to touch the sky
A good Texas Ranger I'll beBut sometimes I feel like a lone stranger
'Midst the cowboys of the sea
Oh and men above he cannot make love
He's got to rape his mother the sea
And because of his greed
We're a vanishing breed
We cowboys of the sea
