Em                                  Am              Em 
Once you were all sea-folk and you sailed upon the seas 
Em                                     Am            B 
You crossed the roaring ocean with the devil at your heels 
Em                                          Am               Em 
Your time has come again now, I'll tell you how this will unfold 
Em                            Am                  B 
I wanna see the western ocean painted black and gold 

G  D/F#         Em 
Welcome to the seaside 
G  D/F#      Em 
It's been occupied 
G  D/F#         Em 
Burrow to the bottom 
     Am                   B 
And behold! -The mother lode 
              Em 
Of black and gold 

Em                                          Am              Em 
Yes, once you were all sea-wolves, proudest on the western seas 
Em                             Am              B 
These days you linger in the shade of taller trees 
Em                                 Am              Em 
But the devil has a weak spot for wounded and the poor 
Em                                     Am              B 
For the hungry and the crafty and the wicked and the small 

G  D/F#         Em 
Onward to the seaside 
G  D/F#      Em 
It's been occupied 
G  D/F#        Em 
Burrow to the bottom 
      Am                 B 
And behold! -The mother lode 
              Em 
Of black and gold 

Em                              Am              Em 
Keep that fire burning, keep a keen eye on the count 
     Em                      Am          B 
The bounty of the ocean, astronomical amounts! 
    Em                                   Am                   Em 
You all know where it's coming from, you all know where it's going 
     Em                         Am            B 
Yes, in the end I always had a cut of every coin 

G  D/F#         Em 
Welcome to the seaside 
G  D/F#       Em 
It's been occupied 
G  D/F#         Em 
Burrow to the bottom 
     Am                   B 
And behold! -The mother lode 
              Em 
Of black and gold 
G  D/F#         Em 
You enjoy the seaside now 
G  D/F#     Em 
Blindly occupied 
G  D/F#         Em 
Burrow to the bottom 
      Am                  B 
And behold! -The mother lode 
              Em 
Of black and gold
