lyrics

Sharks Don´t Sleep Dave Moore

Capo 3rd fret for the original song

(Am)
The water´s warm, the (F)water´s wide,
(G)Ev´rybody swimming to the (Am)other side.
Down in the bottom, they´re (F)moving ´round,
They´re (G)trying to find a way to bring a (Am)good man down,
Bring a (Dm)good man down (F) where the (G)sharks don´t (Am)sleep. (Am7)

(Am) Man on my left (F)swam ´bout a mile,
And (G)he got tired after a (Am)while.
He closed his eyes where he (F)couldn´t swim,
(G) Last thing he saw was a (Am)silver fin,
He saw a (Dm)silver fin, (F) and the (G)sharks don´t (Am)sleep. (Am7)

(F) Man on my right, Lord, he (C)swam for years,
He could (G)see the other side, it was (C)near.
(F) What´s the one thing the (C)sharks dig most?
(G)Cut a man down, when they´re getting (Am)nice and close.
- Instrumental verse -

They got every main street on the (F)edge of town,
They got every (G)good dog, another (Am)hellhound.
They got the minutes are hours and they got the (F)hours are days,
And they got (G)every mother´s son a-finding (Am)evil ways,
They got their (Dm)evil ways (F) where the (G)sharks don´t (Am)sleep. (Am7)

(Am) The water´s warm, (F) the water´s wide,
(G)Ev´rybody swimming to the (Am)other side.
Down in the bottom, (F)moving around,
(G)Trying to find a way to bring a (Am)good man down.
Bring a (Dm)good man down (F) where the (G)sharks don´t (Am)sleep, (Am7)
Bring a (Dm)good man down (F) where the (G)sharks don´t (Am)sleep, (Am7)
Bring a (Dm)good man down (F) where the (G)sharks never (Am)sleep. (Am7)

The way I play it, Dave Moore´s original song ends before the last three lines.
Thanks to Dave who supplied the correct words where I couldn´t hear them.

Why no free uploads? I cover songs. Register them with the German music rights agency GEMA. They hopefully reimburse the artists. The tax authorities demand that I make (not lose) a little money each year... ... more
