	 G          D              A     G
Well the cold black sea, waits for me me me
 
    G          D            A
The cold black sea waits forever
 
    G             D            A         G
The waves hit the shore crying more more more
 
    G          D            A
The cold black sea waits forever
 
The tornadoes come up the coast they run
Hurricanes rip the sky forever
Though the weather's changed the sea remains the same
The cold black sea waits forever
 
There are ashes spilt to collective guilt
People rest at sea forever
Since they burned you up, collect you in a cup
For you the cold black sea has no terror
 
Will your ashes float like some foreign boat
Or will they sink absorbed forever
Will the Atlantic coast have its final boast
Nothing else contained you ever
 
Now the cold black sea waits for me me me
The cold black sea waits forever
When I leave this joint, at some further point
The same cold black sea will it be waiting?
 
cheers

This is as wrong as it is incomplete. The song (especially the early part) heavily uses A/G and G/D. And why can't you bother to put the chords above all the lyrics, not just one or two lines?? Also the intro is pretty wrong. Each '2' should also use the '0' on the lower-octave string (example: 2 on the G string should also use an open D string), as well as other little nuances
