	  Intro: 
 
 
 
 
 
Em            D  
Sinner on the mainland 
       Em            D 
He's a sinner on the sea 
   Em       D/F# G	           
He looks for absolution 
      Am        D 
Not accountability 
    Em        D 
How many destinations 
   Em                 D 
Oh God he's seen them all 
      G         D/F#     Em              
He collects his precious pittance 
Am              D 
In every port of call

Remittance Man 
G          D/F#   Em             
Blacksheep of the family clan 
Am             D               G C G 
Broke too many rules along the way 
           C  D 
Remittance Man 
   Em   D/F#    E/G#         
So far away from home 
           Am         D 
No they'll never understand 
               G C G 
The Remittance Man 
 
 
A man of empty pockets 
From jingling his change 
The idleness and grieving 
Are all that he retains 
By the harbour lights of Sydney 
Or the Bora Bora moon 
He recites his sad confession 
To the seagulls and the loons

Remittance Man 
So far away from home 
No they'll never understand 
The Remittance Man 
 
 
     Bm                                 Am 
Well you can claim that you were born a prince 
    Bm                             Am 
But you're the only one you can convince 
   F 
Survivor with no livelihood 
     C 
That you could ever make it good 
    D 
But still you dream of what you can pretend 
 
 
An unexpected passenger 
Boarded in Marseilles 
An angel full of tenderness 
She gave her heart away 
She was but a gypsy 
He was just a stray 
They almost made a miracle 
But it slowly slipped away 
 
So he follows the equator 
With a wish to run aground 
It's a very vicious circle 
Goin' round and round and round 
And he watches from the fantail 
As the mainland disappears 
Just like the Flying Dutchman 
He's a prisoner of his fears

No they'll never understand 
           Am    Bm   C 
No they'll never understand 
           Am    Bm   C 
No they'll never understand 
               Em      D
