Tonart: E minor•
Verse 1
B
Em
Am
Em
Am
From
the point he gazed from the choice was made,
Em
but 'walk the cave or the shore?'
The oily cave seemed to breathe on
him through gravestone jaws
Am
His little hand grasped in anguish as
he weighed up his coin
Em
Somewhere a blue-eyed girl girl in the world
is just waiting for a boy
Am
Footprints trailed as if trod by slaves
up to the grey cave floor
Em
But not one graze from anything
ever escaping this fort
Am
So with coin on hand his joy came back
when ordered to take the shore
Em
'Why on earth', as he wandered the warmth,
Verse 2
'am I obeying this coin?'
Am
Turn your life on the flip of this coin
Em
Turn upside a choice
you'd normally avoid
Am
And promise me you'll follow what it says
Verse 3
Am
Again, walk within the trusted beach
or swim the swell of the sea?
Em
And again the scarier alternative looked
like certain death to he
Am
He'd never learnt to skill of swimming
- it never occurred to be very easy
Em
And again he winced as he flipped
the coin and it twirled to his feet
Am
'How is this sane?' he blamed
the coin now aiming for the waves
Em
As he hesitated at the swirl of water
as it raged and rained
Am
Blue-eyed girls girls were waiting and
he was drowning in the spray
Em
Blue-eyed girls girls he should have been
Verse 4
acquainted with but for shouting and flailing
Am
Turn your life on the flip of this coin
Em
Turn upside a choice
you'd normally avoid
Am
And promise me you'll follow what it says
Verse 5
Em
He finally slugs it back to land feeling
chewed-up and and foolish
B
Empties his pockets on the sand
Staggers back to his dad
who's too cool to be
B
Baug
So he says 'why did you have me
Em
follow this stupid rule, please?'
Am
To be honest little fellow I'll tell you
I was just as afraid as you
Em
But you said you wanted to get with
people and places ever new
Am
And I got a bit scared of the fate
of my baby son's future
Em
So I invented a reason to see
if you could ever make do
Am
As soon as you appeared behind
that rock looking angry at me
Em
I soon realized what a hell of
a man you've ended up being
Am
I knew you'd worked out how to
swim, which I hadn't had in me
Em
And I stand as a companion of you,
proudest a man has ever been
Verse 6
Am
Turn your life on the flip of this coin
Em
Turn upside a choice
you'd normally avoid
Am
And promise me you'll follow
