May I direct your attention to the following 
Dm                      F
simile? you're like the coasts of an ocean
G                     Dm            
buried beneath is the submarine cable 
F                       G
connecting the opposite shore that's surrounding


Eb Ab  Fm         Bb 
My man how can he stand?  
C                     F     Dm                  G
Your fingers would encircle clear around the ankle
C  F   Dm           G
My man won't walk again
   C               F          Dm            G
In conflict with express instructions given by the brain
Eb  Ab        Fm         Bb       
Why can't the message be sent
  C        F     Dm                  G

C                         G 										
When something happens to drag on the floor of the 
Dm                    F
ocean for instance an anchor or mooring
G                    Dm            
The cable can be disrupted or even be severed
F                       G
severed which halts the transmission across it
