Ballad Of The Briny

Weezer


Tom: E

                  G#m D#m B
The fishes are my friends
                 G#m D#m B
Here beneath the sea
              G#m D#m B
Swimming all around
                       G#m D#m B
They're foot-massaging me
                 G#m D#m B
The octopus says "Hi"
                  G#m D#m B
I say "How do you do?"
                     G#m D#m B
He's quite the gentleman
                 G#m D#m B
To give me eight salutes


[Chorus]
       G#m  F#m  E      G#m  F#m  E
I'm at home here in the briny
           G#m  F#m  E         G#m  F#m  E
Since I've found out you don't want me

[Verse 2]
                       G#m D#m B
The crew thought I was nuts
            G#m D#m B
Jumping overboard
                     G#m D#m B
But what'd I have to lose?
                       G#m D#m B
Except pains inside my gourd
                       G#m D#m B
Except pains inside my heart
                     G#m D#m B
They wouldn't let mе be
               G#m D#m B
Now I'm better off
               G#m D#m B
Captain of thе sea


[Chorus]
           G#m  F#m  E      G#m  F#m  E
And I'm at home here in the briny
           G#m  F#m  E         G#m  F#m  E
Since I've found out you don't want me
             G#m  F#m  E      G#m  F#m  E
Yeah, I'm at home here in the briny
           G#m  F#m  E         G#m  F#m  E
Since I've found out you don't want me


[Bridge]
G#m
I went to schools
F#m       A#m
I went to ministry
G#m                 F#m           A#m
But they don't match the soothing of the sea
G#m             F#m       A#m
I'm back where I began my primal life
G#m            F#m      A#m
I am dissolved into the murky brine


[Solo]
E F#m G#m (x2)
D#m C# B (x4)

(You wanted me to be a practical man
And now I see how things were)


[Chorus]
           G#m  F#m  E      G#m  F#m  E
And I'm at home here in the briny
           G#m  F#m  E         G#m  F#m  E
Since I've found out you don't want me
             G#m  F#m  E      G#m  F#m  E
Yeah, I'm at home here in the briny
           G#m  F#m  E         G#m  F#m  E
Since I've found out you don't want me

[Outro]
G#m D#m C#m B A#m (x4)
G#m B A#m B G#m (x4)
