This is a rather tricky song (because it's more of a synth piece than a
guitar piece), but this is as close I will get, I think.

In this song the bass often lies on the same note throughout each line,
which I have noted after the / on each chord. This, of course, must not
be played on the guitar, but on a synth or piano it sounds good.

F G Em Am Dm

Dm                           C/D
Take you away for my magic ship.
         Bb/D                                Dm
I have two hundred deisel horses thundering loud.
           Gsus4         G                        F
Sea birds call your name   and the mountain's on fire
        C                 G                       Am
as the summer lightening cuts the sky like a hot wire.
                      F  G                     Em   Am
And you ride on the swell  and your heart is alive,
                              Dm
think I'll make you my seal driver.
 

Dm                                 C/D
I'm no great looker, I'm no fast shakes.
      Bb/D                                           Dm
I'll give you a steady push on a six knot simmering high tide.
       Gsus4      G                        F
I can hold us down - keep our head to the wind,
    C                   G                     Am
or let us roll on the broadside, cold spray flying in,
                        F  G                      Em   Am
and we'll ride on the swell  and our hearts are alive.
                          Dm
Let me make you my seal driver.
 

G        A/C#                  Bb        Em
I could captain you if you'd crew for me
 F                     G                       F             ?
follow white flecked spindrift --- float on a moonkissed sea.

Dm                      C/D
Could you fancy me as a pirate bold,
      Bb/D                                             Dm
or a longship Viking warrior with the old gods on his side?
            Gsus4      G                   F
Well I'm an inshore man  and I'm nobody's hero,
          C                    G                 Am
but I'll make you tight for a windy night and a dark ride.
                    F  G                 Em   Am
Let me take you in hand  and bring you alive.
                            Dm
Going to make you my seal driver.

These are the chords without capo, more for the keyboard player as
myself, when picking out chords.

It's a rather tricky song (because it's more of a synth piece than a
