oil on the water flames across the sea it's

everywhere it's all around covers you and me

down below the surface underneath the blue

Am D n.c.

gonna swim with all my might just to get away from you.. and

all this oil on the water oil on the water

now I kissed you once and I kissed you twice could not stop at that

cuz your kisses are like her-o-in... Oh..

the monkey on my back

wind it is A howling and the waves are horse's white

Am D n.c.

two ships blown off course we collided in the night now there's

this oil on the water oil on the water

oil on the water oil on the water on this troubled sea

sailors you and me (SOLO)

oil on the water

the sea is full of flames and

it might burn out by morn'in (by morn'in) but it might not just

the same (just the same) cause a higher tide is turning

D Am D n.c.

right before my eyes something is burning and now I realize it's

just oil on the water oil on the water

oil on the water

oil on the water on this troubled sea sailors you and

me..... O-I-L and water O-I-L .....

G C G C repeat to fade.....
