FIRST VERSE
Bm D
Lumberjack's looking out for trees
Bm D
choppin' days out of centuries
Bm D
But you get them on their knees
G A G
Cause they ain't so tough I heard things about 'em
Bm D
The dark sea is a careless host
Bm D
From northpole to pacific coast
Bm D
Pure blood is the viking's toast
G A G
But his heart will cry if it goes without it
CHORUS
Bm D Bm D
And the sirens always sing
Bm D G A
The chants from heaven
G
Not expecting to be heard
Bm D Bm D
But the love that it won't bring
Bm D G
Will make hearts sever
A G
Of those who go
SECOND VERSE
Bm D
The sweet call of the distant shore
Bm D
They don't know what they're wishing for
Bm D
If they knock on the devil's door
G A G
They better make sure they got something to say
Bm D
Everybody has a life to fill
Bm D
They hate waiting and they can't sit still
Bm D
And what is time but something to kill
G A G
Until it's nothing left and the night has the last laugh
Bm D
They all know when it comes to you
Bm D
The lucky ride only takes a few
Bm D
why have a soul when it's yours to lose
G A G
you gotta pick your fight you got work to do
Bm D
Some say that they're running away
Bm D
From what or where now they wouldn't say
Bm D
In their minds they're never late
G A G
Cause there ain't no-one that is waiting for them
SECOND CHORUS
Bm D Bm D
And the sirens always sing
Bm D G A
The chants from heaven
G
Not expecting to be heard
Bm D Bm D
But the love that it won't bring

Will make hearts sever
A G
Of those who go

THIRD VERSE
Bm D
Pale riders in a lonely nest
Bm D
I bet the spanish have a word for this
Bm D
And a banner that they can't resist
G A G
But they're not so tough I heard things about them
Bm D
Some say that they're running away
Bm D
From what or where now they wouldn't say
F#
On a road trip you cannot stray
F#7
But you can get lost trying to find your way home
THIRD CHORUS
Bm D Bm D
B virtue and a sin
Bm D G A
The sails will shiver
G
The promises will burn
Bm D Bm D
And underneath the skin
Bm D G
The heart will quiver
A G
of those who roam
Bm D Bm D
And the sirens all will sing
Bm D G A
The chants from heaven
G
Not expecting to be heard
Bm D Bm D
But the love that it won't bring
Bm D G
Will make hearts sever
A G
Of those who go
