[Verse]
Em D
Once upon a time my existence
Am H7 Em
Was defined by ambition and trade
G
Now it’s gone just like this
Hm D
The remnants of the exodus
C Am Em
At a loss, all alone and afraid
[Chorus]
Asus2 Em
The fire has left me long ago
C G D
Once I was bristlin and brave
C
Now I’m destined to wither
G Em
On an errand of fools
Am H7 G D
And to lie in a mariners grave, yeah
[Interlude]

[Verse]
Em
I was worn with the stress
D
And the weight of progress
Am H7 Em
In the foremost uncertain of days
G
Comatose, dark & still
Hm D
Have the means but lost the will
C Am Em
To take the fight to imposing ways
[Chorus]
Asus2 Em
The fire has left me long ago
C G D
Once I was bristlin and brave
C
Now I’m destined to wither
G Em
On an errand of fools
Am H7 G D
And to lie in a mariners grave, Hey-ey

C G
Once I was branded in gold
Em G C
Now I’m abandoned and sold
G
Servant, sentinel and slave
Am H G
Doomed to lie in a mariners grave

Once I was a summer domain
Em G C
Now only winter remains
G
Drawn, quartered and flayed
Am H G
Doomed to lie in a mariners grave
