[Intro]
      Dsus2              Dsus2/C
You thought the leaden winter
        Dsus2/B        Asus4/Bb
Would bring you down forever
        Dsus2              Dsus2/C
But you rode upon a steamer
          Dsus2/B        Asus4/Bb
To the violence of the sun

[Interlude]

Dsus2  Dsus2/C  Dsus2/B  Asus4/Bb

[Verse 1]
          Dsus2        Dsus2/C
And the colors of the sea
           Dsus2/B               Asus4/Bb
Bind your eyes with trembling mermaids
     Dsus2              Dsus2/C
And you touch the distant beaches
      Dsus2/B       Asus4/Bb
With tales of brave Ulysses
        Dsus2          Dsus2/C
How his naked ears were tortured
       Dsus2/B       Asus4/Bb
By the sirens sweetly singing
         Dsus2             Dsus2/C
For the sparkling waves are calling you
  Dsus2/B               Asus4/Bb
To kiss their white laced lips

[Interlude]

A7  D7  E7

[Verse 2]
        Dsus2                Dsus2/C
And you see a girl's brown body
Dsus2/B                Asus4/Bb
Dancing through the turquoise
           Dsus2           Dsus2/C
And her footprints make you follow
            Dsus2/B       Asus4/Bb
Where the sky loves the sea
   Dsus2           Dsus2/C
And when your fingers find her
     Dsus2/B         Asus4/Bb
She drowns you in her body
   Dsus2           Dsus2/C
Carving deep blue ripples
       Dsus2/B         Asus4/Bb
In the tissues of your mind

[Interlude]

A7 D7 E7

[Chorus]
     Dsus2          Dsus2/C
The tiny purple fishes
     Dsus2/B            Asus4/Bb
Run laughing through your fingers
       Dsus2            Dsus2/C
And you want to take her with you
       Dsus2/B           Asus4/Bb
To the hard land of the winter

[Interlude]

Dsus2  Dsus2/C  Dsus2/B  Asus4/Bb

[Verse 3]

   Dsus2        Dsus2/C
Her name is Aphrodite
         Dsus2/B           Asus4/Bb
And she rides a crimson shell
        Dsus2           Dsus2/C
And you know you cannot leave her
        Dsus2/B           Asus4/Bb
For you touched the distant sands
     Dsus2          Dsus2/C
With tales of brave Ulysses
        Dsus2/B             Asus4/Bb
How his naked ears were tortured
      Dsus2             Dsus2/C A7
By the sirens sweetly singing

[Interlude]

Dsus2 Dsus2/C Dsus2/B Asus4/Bb

[Chorus]
     Dsus2        Dsus2/C
The tiny purple fishes
    Dsus2/B                Asus4/Bb
Run lauging through your fingers
       Dsus2            Dsus2/C
And you want to take her with you
       Dsus2/B          Asus4/Bb
To the hard land of the winter

[Outro]
