Вступление
[Intro]
A
[Verse]
D A
My wings were blue in the ocean green
D A
The prettiest thing you've ever seen
E7 A
The gurnet said to the catfish
D A
Rose were my legs and rose my sides
D A
And who would have thought as I roved the tide
Bm
Where the red crab watched me scuttle and glide
D A
I would come to dance in a net?
[Verse]
D A
The fisherman stands by the water and chuckles
D A
Clams are his ears and limpets his knuckles
E7 A
The gurnet said to the catfish
D A
The beard of a mussel droops from his chin
D A
The scales of a mackerel cling to his skin
Bm
And his eyes roll out and his eyes roll in
D A
As he watches us dance in the net
[Verse]
D A
His eyes are hard as berries of kelp
D A
But sweet is his daughter who comes to help
E7 A
The gurnet said to the catfish
D A
They take the ropes in their lean brown hands
D A
And haul us out on the shine of the sands
Bm
And the girl she laughs as the fisherman stands
D A
And watches us dance in the net
[Bridge]
A A7 D D7 G
[Verse]
C F C
Let her hang up her clothes on a gooseberry bush
F C
Where the waves say 'crush' and the foam says 'hush'
G7 C
The gurnet said to the catfish
F C
The surf is red with struggle and slaughter
F C
But somewhere on earth or in sky or in water
Dm
The scaly man and his long-legged daughter
F C
Will come to dance in a net
[Instrumental]
C Dm G
[Verse]
C F C
The fishes dance to the fisherman's tune
F C
The waters run to the pull of the moon
G7 C
And the gurnet said to the catfish
F C
The air and the sand at the edge of the tide
F C
The fisherman's daughter, dancing in pride
Dm
With her rosy legs and her rosy side
F C
Is less than a fish in the net
[Bridge]
C G Am A7
[Verse]
D G D
For somewhere, glaring in wastes of space
G D
There's a terrible eye in an empty face
A7 D
The gurnet said to the catfish
G D
And round and round in the spell of that stare
G D
Flashing and slashing and biting the snare
Em
Go all the glittering shoals of the air
G D
Dancing like fish in the net
[Verse]
G D
So somebody sits in space and chuckles
G D
With hair like a comet and stars for knuckles
A7 D
The gurnet said to the catfish
G D
And glimmer of side and swirl of fin
G D
His arms are huge as he hauls them in
Em
And his teeth are sharks in a mile wide grin
G D
As he watches them dance in the net
[Bridge]
D D7 G
[Verse]
C F C
There I'm going and there go you
F C
I with my wings of butterfly blue
G7 C
The gurnet said to the catfish
F C
The moon comes by and he swallows it whole
F C
And there is the girl with wings on her soul
Dm
And now it's the fisher, and the great eyes roll
F C
As he watches them dance in the net
