Love this song--I think it's the best song, lyrically speaking, that's been
written in probably the past 10 years.
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/l/lumineers/submarines_crd.html ]
G Cadd9 D -D -D
I believe submarines
G Cadd9 D -D -D
Underneath deep blue seas
G Cadd9 D -D -D
Saw the flags: Japanese
G Cadd9 D -D -D
No one will believe me
Em
Ran back to the town bar
G
And I told the people how
Em
I had seen the submarine
Cadd9
And everyone laughed aloud
(Repeat Chord Progression)
I did spy periscopes
Dead of night on the eastern coast
The police made them jokes
Told me I'd seen a ghost
Everyone thinks I'm a liar
No one knows the truth
If it was a bigger fire
I would be on the roof
Ships will rust in Baldwin Bay
(Let me go!)
No one trusts what I say
(I don't know!)
Oh my God, no one paid
(Attention!)
Overnight my hair turned gray
(Oh oh oh!)
In the end it boils down to credibility
I had none, so I will die with the secrets of the sea
(Submarine! Can't find me! Submarine!)
Submarine...
(Submarine!)
