[Intro]
Bm


[Verse 1]
E  Bm   C#m G#7
We were sailing
      D#m G# C#m Cm Bm
in the Atlantic Ocean
Bm          A   Em    A   D
and the captain shook his head
     E    Bm   C#m G#7
The waves kept growing
       D#m   G#  C#m Cm  Bm
and the rain was pouring off
Bm        A Em  A   D
and the matador was dead


[Chorus]
    G7     Am    A      A7 Gm
So, I will write you if I can
     G7        Am  A         A7  Gm
But I can't promise you anything man


[Instrumental]
Gm


[Verse 2]
E  Bm      C#m G#7
We pressed onward
        D#m G#  C#m Cm Bm
and the captain didn't smile
     Bm         A       Em   A         D
"You better put on your life jacket" he said
    E Bm  C#m  G#7
So, I listened and
        D#m G# C#m  Cm  Bm
then the tidal wave approached
       Bm   A   Em   A  D
and it threw us from the boat


[Chorus]
    G7      Am   A      A7 Gm
So, I will write you if I can
       G7       Am   A        A7   Gm
But, I can't promise you anything man
