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

Will make hearts sever
D# C#
Of those who go

THIRD VERSE
Fm G#
Pale riders in a lonely nest
Fm G#
I bet the spanish have a word for this
Fm G#
And a banner that they can't resist
C# D# C#
But they're not so tough I heard things about them
Fm G#
Some say that they're running away
Fm G#
From what or where now they wouldn't say
C
On a road trip you cannot stray
C7
But you can get lost trying to find your way home
THIRD CHORUS
Fm G# Fm G#
F virtue and a sin
Fm G# C# D#
The sails will shiver

The promises will burn
Fm G# Fm G#
And underneath the skin
Fm G# C#
The heart will quiver
D# C#
of those who roam
Fm G# Fm G#
And the sirens all will sing
Fm G# C# D#
The chants from heaven
C#
Not expecting to be heard
Fm G# Fm G#
But the love that it won't bring
Fm G# C#
Will make hearts sever
