[Verse]
Fm                             C#               B
The boy child is locked in the fisherman's yard
Fm                                        C#   B
There's a bloodless moon where the oceans die
Fm                          C#               B
A shoal of night stars hang fire in the nets
         Fm                     C#        B
And the chaos of cages where the crayfish lie
Fm                      C#               B
Where is the fisherman, where is the goat,
Fm                         C#         B
Where is the keeper in his carrion coat?
   Fm                        C#          B
Eclipse on the moon when the dark bird flies
Fm                          C#        B
Where is the child with his father's eyes?

B C#

[Bridge]
Fm                              C# B G Fm
He's the king of the ninth world
Fm                                 C# B G Fm
The twisted son of the fog bells' toll
Fm                           C# B G  Fm
In each and every lobster cage,      a tortured human soul


[Pre-Chorus]
C#                         Bbsus2
These are the souls of the broken factories
C#                        Bbsus2
The subject slaves of the broken crown
C#                     Bbsus2
The dead accounting of old guilty promises
C#                         B
These are the souls of the broken town


[Chorus]
Fm            C#        B 
These are the soul cages
Fm            G         B
These are the soul cages
Fm            C#        B 
These are the soul cages
Fm            C#        B 
These are the soul cages

[Verse]
Bm                             B      F F
'I have a wager,' the brave child spoke
Bm                             B               F   F
The fisherman laughed though disturbed at the joke 
Bm                             B               F    F
'You will drink what I drink  But you must equal me, 
Bm                                   B               F
And if the drink leaves me standing, A soul shall Go free'
Bm                          B       F
'I have here a cask of most magical wine
Bm                           B             F
A vintage that blessed every ship in the line
Bm                  B             F
It's wrung from the blood of the sailors who died
Bm                 B             F
Young white bodies adrift in the tide'
Bm                           B             F
'And what's in it for me, my pretty young thing?
Bm                            B          F
Why should I whistle when the caged bird sings?
Bm                           B              F
If you lose a wager with the king of the sea
Bm                              B                  F
You'll spend the rest of forever in the cage with me'


[Chorus]
Bm            B         F
These are the soul cages
Bm            B         F
These are the soul cages
Bm            B         F
These are the soul cages
Bm            B         F
These are the soul cages


[Bridge]
Bm                        B         F
A body lies open in the fisherman's yard like
Bm            B         F
The side of a ship where the iceberg rips
Bm            B                F
One less soul in the soul cages
Bm                     F         F
One last curse on the fisherman's lips


[Chorus]
Bm            B         F
These are the soul cages
Bm            B         F
These are the soul cages
Bm            B         F
These are the soul cages
Bm            B         F
These are the soul cages
Bm            B         F
These are the soul cages


[Outro]
Fsus2            B
And he dreamed of a ship on the sea
Fsus2            B
It would carry his father and he
Fsus2            B
To a place they could never be found
Fsus2            B
To a place far away from this town
Fsus2            B
A Newcastle ship with no coals
Fsus2            B
They would sail to the island of souls

C Csus2

[Chorus Outro]
G#m           B         C
These are the soul cages
G#m           B         C
These are the soul cages
G#m           B         C
These are the soul cages
G#m           B         C
These are the soul cages
