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

THIRD VERSE
A#m C#
Pale riders in a lonely nest
A#m C#
I bet the spanish have a word for this
A#m C#
And a banner that they can't resist
F# G# F#
But they're not so tough I heard things about them
A#m C#
Some say that they're running away
A#m C#
From what or where now they wouldn't say
F
On a road trip you cannot stray
F7
But you can get lost trying to find your way home
THIRD CHORUS
A#m C# A#m C#
A# virtue and a sin
A#m C# F# G#
The sails will shiver
F#
The promises will burn
A#m C# A#m C#
And underneath the skin
A#m C# F#
The heart will quiver
G# F#
of those who roam
A#m C# A#m C#
And the sirens all will sing
A#m C# F# G#
The chants from heaven
F#
Not expecting to be heard
A#m C# A#m C#
But the love that it won't bring
A#m C# F#
Will make hearts sever
G# F#
Of those who go
