Half Man Half Biscuit


Tom: G

G D C Em   G D C Em


G                 D
 Long afloat on a shipless ocean,
C             Em
 I did all my best to smile,
G                  D
 Till your singing eyes and fingers
C               Em
 Drew me loving to your isle.
G         F
 You sang   swim to me
C                     G        G
 Swim to me, let me enfold you.
Em          D           C          Em
 Here I am,   here I am waiting to hold you.


G                D
 And I dream you dreamed about me
C               Em
 Was you a hare, was I a fox?
G               D
 Now my foolish boat is leaning
C                Em
 Broken lovelorn on your rocks.
G              F
 Touch me not,   touch me not
C                          G      G
 Touch me not, come back tomorrow.
Em             D             C              Em
 Oh, my heart,   oh my heart shies from the sorrow.

G               D             C
 I’m as puzzled as a new born child
               Em
I’m as riddled as the tide
G            D
 Do I stand amid the breakers
C                 Em
 Or do I lie with Death my bride?
G           F
 Swim to me,  swim to me
C                     G        G
 Swim to me, let me enfold you.
Em         D           C          Em
 Here I am,  here I am waiting to hold you.

The singer out of slipknot went to Rome to see the Pope
        C         D      G
And the Pope said to his aide.


Who the fucking hell are slipknot?
C                        G
Who the fucking hell are slipknot?
                         Bm  Em
Who the fucking hell are slipknot?
     C            D              G
In relation to me getting out of bed.
