            tuned half step down

Am D Am D Am D Am D C


D                                 Db
Hurray, I awake from yesterday   Alive, but the war is here to stay
 C
So my love, Catherina and me,
  B
decide to take our last walk through the noise to the sea
Bb                             A
Not to die but to reborn,  away from lands so battered and torn
  Am        D      Am D C
Forever, forever
 D
Oh say, can you see it's really such a mess 
   Db       
  Every inch of Earth is a fighting nest
       C
Giant pencil and lipstick tube shaped things,
   B
Continue to rain and cause screaming pain
           Bb
And the arctic stains from silver blue to bloody red as our 
 A                                              Am    D       Am    D
feet find the sand,  and the sea is straight ahead, straight up ahead
      Dm                      Am           C      
Well it's too bad that our friends, can't be with us today
  Gm
Well it's too bad
   Dm               Am
The machine, that we built,
   C                  Gm
would never save us, that's what they say

That's why they ain't coming with us today
                          Dm                     Am
And they also said it's impossible for a man to live and breathe under
               C
water,      forever, was their main complaint
 Gm
And they also threw this in my face, they said:
  Dm                             Am
Anyway, you know good and well it would be beyond the will of God,
  C                                 Gm
and the grace of the King grace of the King  Yeah, yeah

Dm Am C Gm  Dm Am C Gm  

  Dm
So my darling and I make love in the sand,
   Dbm
to salute the last moment ever on dry land
   C
Our machine, it has done its work, played its part well
           B
Without a scratch on our bodies and we bid it farewell
   Bb
Starfish and giant foams greet us with a smile
    A
Before our heads go under we take a last look at the killing noise
  Am                    D            Am         Am D
Of the out of style, the out of style, out of style
   Db                                    Cm
So down and down and down and down and down and down  we go
   B                                Bb
hurry my darling we mustn't be late for the show
   A                                  Ab
Neptune champion games  to an aqua world that's so very dear
  Gb                                    A      C   G       A
right this way smiles a mermaid I can hear Atlantis full of cheer
 Am D    Am                 D     Am                       D  Am D   
          Atlantis full of cheer I can hear Atlantis full of cheer
