One November noon we left the docks
               D                 Asus4
Heading south west from Orcombe rocks
           F#m             Asus4
My dad and me, our nine to five
           D               Asus4
He used to steer I used to dive
 
             Asus4
So over the side I slowly went down
            D                Asus4
A hundred below the seawater brown
             F#m              Asus4
But after an hour I got low on air
                D                     Asus4
When I surfaced again his boat wasn’t there
 
          Asus4
My marker buoy had come untied
             D                   Asus4
And drifted away his boat at its side
                 F#m                      Asus4
He looked at his watch three miles to the south
                 D                     Asus4
And turned back again his heart in his mouth
 
                Asus4
Soft rain on my face the sun nearly set
                D                   Asus4
I cut loose the weights let fall the nets
         F#m                  Asus4
Lights onshore, so bright and clear
                  D              Asus4
The cold drifting in and nobody near
 
 
                 Asus4
Was there ever a reel, a rod or a line
               D                   Asus4
So strong and true, so straight or fine
             F#m                         Asus4
The tie that wound him, through time and space
                D                      Asus4
He came out the darkness right to that place
 
             Asus4
Now we don’t talk much, about that day
                   D                     Asus4
Got two kids of my own now and one on the way
                  F#m                     Asus4
But if they’re to grow, and if they’re to thrive
                D                   Asus4
One day they’ll go, one day they’ll dive
              D                     Asus4
And when they come up for light and air
 
              Asus4
I hope someone’s close I hope someone’s there
               D                 Asus4
It’s November noon we’re leaving the docks
           F#m              Asus4
My son and me from Orcombe rocks
            D                Asus4
Let’s dive, let’s dive
