Ricky Montgomery - Black Fins

Capo: 5th fret

[Verse 1]
C F
Black fins,
G F
waiting for the tide to roll
C F
Back in,
G F
soaking in the sun and I know
C F
It’s just another
G F
little piece of ocean trash and
C F
Not you,
G F C F
just a little ghost I keep around
G F C F G F
A funny shadow always hanging out

[Chorus]
C F
If your ashes sprang to life,
G
would you just let me down?
C F
Would you leave those kids again
G
and kick ‘em outta town
C F
I guess we’ll never know,
G F
I’ll just be here wondering
C F
What made you choose to go?
G F C F G F
The day that you went down to Mexico
C F G F
To Mexico

[Verse 2]
C F
Black fins,
G F
full of life again and suddenly
C F
It’s all pretend,
G F
every manic word you wrote us
C F
Now there’s time to mend,
G F
every broken heart that you left
C F
In your gust of wind,
G F C
No more little ghost I keep around
F
(No more little ghost I keep around)
G F C
No more funny shadow in my house
F
(No more funny shadow in my house)

[Chorus]
C F
If your ashes sprang to life,
G
would you just let me down?
C F
Would you leave those kids again
G
and kick ‘em outta town
C F
I guess we’ll never know,
G F
I’ll just be here wondering
C F
What made you wanna go?
G F
The day that you went down to Mexico

[Bridge]
C F
Black fins,
G F C
one more metaphor for scuba gear
F
Black fins,
G F C
wish I would’ve known you through the years
F
Black fins,
G F C
wish I never went to Illinois
F
Black fins,
G F C
filling up on milk and chips ahoy
F G
Black fins, black fins
F C
Black fins, black fins
F G
Black fins, black fins
F
Black fins

[Outro]
C
(No more little ghost I keep around)
C
(No more funny shadow in my house)
C
(No more little ghost I keep around)
C
No more funny shadow in my house
C
(No more funny shadow in my house)
C
No more little ghost I keep around
