[Intro]
     Dsus2             Dsus2/C
You thought the leaden winter
       Dsus2/B        Asus4/Bb
Would bring you down forever
        Dsus2              Dsus2/C
But you rode upon a steamer
         Dsus2/B       Asus4/Bb
To the violence of the sun
 
[Interlude]

[Verse 1]
        Dsus2         Dsus2/C
And the colors of the sea
          Dsus2/B              Asus4/Bb
Bind your eyes with trembling mermaids
        Dsus2             Dsus2/C
And you touch the distant beaches
     Dsus2/B         Asus4/Bb
With tales of brave Ulysses
        Dsus2            Dsus2/C
How his naked ears were tortured
        Dsus2/B        Asus4/Bb
By the sirens sweetly singing
          Dsus2             Dsus2/C
For the sparkling waves are calling you
  Dsus2/B                 Asus4/Bb
To kiss their white laced lips

[Verse 2]
        Dsus2              Dsus2/C
And you see a girl's brown body
 Dsus2/B             Asus4/Bb
Dancing through the turquoise
          Dsus2             Dsus2/C
And her footprints make you follow
          Dsus2/B       Asus4/Bb
Where the sky loves the sea
    Dsus2             Dsus2/C
And when your fingers find her
    Dsus2/B           Asus4/Bb
She drowns you in her body
  Dsus2            Dsus2/C
Carving deep blue ripples
       Dsus2/B         Asus4/Bb
In the tissues of your mind
 
[Interlude]
 
||: A7  D7  E7 :||
 
 
[Chorus]
     Dsus2       Dsus2/C
The tiny purple fishes
     Dsus2/B               Asus4/Bb
Run laughing through your fingers
        Dsus2            Dsus2/C
And you want to take her with you
       Dsus2/B           Asus4/Bb
To the hard land of the winter
 
 
[Interlude]

[Verse 3]
 
    Dsus2     Dsus2/C
Her name is Aphrodite
        Dsus2/B         Asus4/Bb
And she rides a crimson shell
        Dsus2           Dsus2/C
And you know you cannot leave her
        Dsus2/B             Asus4/Bb
For you touched the distant sands
     Dsus2          Dsus2/C
With tales of brave Ulysses
        Dsus2/B          Asus4/Bb
How his naked ears were tortured
        Dsus2       Dsus2/C  A7
By the sirens sweetly singing
 
[Interlude]
 
||: Dsus2   Dsus2/C  Dsus2/B   Asus4/Bb  ||
 
[Chorus]
     Dsus2      Dsus2/C
The tiny purple fishes
    Dsus2/B               Asus4/Bb
Run lauging through your fingers
        Dsus2            Dsus2/C
And you want to take her with you
       Dsus2/B           Asus4/Bb
To the hard land of the winter
