[Verse 1]
           F#            G  F#                        G
I heard a story about a boy -- who was swept off the deck
F#               G                 F# G      F#
-- The sweeping tide swept the sea over his neck
F#                     G         F#     G      F#
-- But it did not end there, the boy began to swim
    F#            G        F#        G    F#
And dared to the sea that dared to invade him

Did you ever want to know me and
Bm      F#    G           D

Bm      F#    G       D

Did you ever feel like I could
Em                 A                      G
-- It's a silent steeple that carries us down

It's a silent steeple whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa

[Verse 2]
        F#         G  F#               G
But the sea would not -- so much as reply
       F#                  G         F#   G       F#
So the boy yelled to the ships that were fated to die
    F#      G      F#             G
Red sky at night, sailors take delight
    F#          G        F#      G   F#
Red sky in the morning, sailors take warning
