All the weight was quickly lifted

From his back into the sea
  Abm6         Abm7
He finally felt he was free


E
When he got home after months
E                E
Sat down and waited for lunch
   Abm
He looked down at an empty dish
      Abm6              Abm7
Cause all their sins had killed the fish
