[Intro 1]
[A][Csus2][D][G][D][Bm][D][G][Em][A]
[D]

[Verse 1]
[A]You
can't walk [C]through the [D]Isle of the [Em]Dead,
you [G]can't lie [D]still in the [Bm]guest house [D]bed,
there's a [G]pair of black eyes staring [Em]down
at you from [A]the mountain top,
through yr window,
The bunks are empty,
your [D]mates are gone,
[G]breakfast lasts an [Em]hour long,
[A]O warm bread, drawn [D]tea,
[Asus4]the basta[A]rds'll never
get to me

[Verse 2]
[D]But somebody [Em]knows,
[D]somebody [Em]knows,[D][A][Bm]
[D]somebody [Em]always [D]kno[Em]ws,[D][A][Bm]
Where a [A]body goes.
[G][A][Asus4]

[Verse 3]
[A]
I were one of [C]two, we were [D]joined at the
[Em]shoe when we [G]thought to [D]make our [Bm]break,
[D]so [G]we shimmied our locks and
[Em]we knocked up a box
and we [Asus4]rode the thin[A]g
down the waterway,
[Asus4]Now the Derwent t[A]wists and
the [D]Derwent [F#m]slides,
It's a [G]moving thing with [Em]many eyes,
[A]O who'd have thought,
at all or often,
that vehicle would become
our [D]coffin?[Em]

[Verse 4]
[D]So many [Em]souls, [D]so [A]man[Bm]y sou[D]ls,[Em]
[D]so [Em]many [D]souls in[A] the wat[Bm]er
I left me a [D]little daughter[G],
and I [A]left me a girl,
and I [G]left them alone, in that [A]tired old world,
O [D]where are they now?

[Interlude 1]
[F#m][Bm][G][Bm]
[G][A][G][A]

[Verse 5]
[A]I am one of a [C]gang set to [D]work on the [Em]land,
a [G]clearin' and [D]fellin'
and [Bm]killin',
[Asus4]The best of u[G]s here has a conscienc[Em]e
clear and he [A]goes about it keen
and [Asus4]willin',
[A]We're shooting them from the [F#m]rocks,
[D]and we're sho[G]oting them
in the [Em]wa ter
and when they're [A]runnin' we're
shootin' them in the backs
and we do it without a thought
or care?
[D][Em][D][Em]

[Verse 6]
[D]So many [A]lies, [Bm]so m[D]any lies[Em],
[D]so many [Em]lies [D]bee[A]n tol[Bm]d[D][Em][D][G]
[D]We'll non[A]e of [Bm]us here grow old[G]
Not [A]gracefully, [Asus4]not peace[A]fully,[G]
in this [A]blind old land,
in this [F#m]dreaming [D]land,
[F#m]some d[D]emon's l[Bm]and.
