lyrics

Martin Hates Boats. Martin Hates Water
capo 3? or 2. I can’t remember.
guitar intro is A D and then F G A
most of the song is A D A E
the “jaws” sounding parts are E and F chords back and forth

You've heard that I hate boats
And it's true that I hate water
I've got two kids and a lovely wife
I just don't trust the sea at night

I'm Martin Brody
I'm scared of drowning
I don't want to wash up somewhere
Where the waves boom and crash loudly

Sometimes I dream about the tideline
Sometimes I wake up drenched in sweat
I went down under the waves once
It's hard to move on and forget

I'm Martin Brody
I'm scared of drowning
I don't want to wash up somewhere
Where the waves boom and crash loudly

Standing here I'm looking at a shark
Strung up on the dock it's jaws agape
Its teeth drifted apart
I want to tell them all it's safe

We got the right one
The man-eater haunting coves and the bay
But this Hooper guy is saying
The bite marks don't match the victims, hey

I'm Martin Brody
I'm scared of drowning
I don't want to wash up somewhere
Where the waves boom and crash loudly

The shark's still out there
Great big white bastard
I'm not afraid of her
But it's not really her we're after

The Orca leaving from the empty pier
Didn't cause too much commotion
But we'll see how town feels after
We kill the fucking ocean

I'm Martin Brody
Fuck the Atlantic
This shark's a symbol
Of the water
How it fills my soul with panic
I'm going to shoot it.
