         Em                    D  
And this whole ruddy ship is a 
           Em
huge creaking wreck
            B            A        
We've flown ten thousand miles 
       G            F#
with this thorn in our sides
           Em                   
Though the wind's steady, strong 
         D             Em
with no clouds in the skies

[Verse 2]
    Em                             
The ropes creaking, ship's leaking,
 D            Em
 sails are on fire
         Em                        
And this whole bloody ship could go
 D         Em
 up like a pyre
           B               A      
Crew's got smiles on their faces, 
          G           F#
but we've seen this before
   Em                    D        
No telling just now what we have 
  Em
in store

[Verse 3]
    Em                         
The back-stabbing, loot-nabbing 
 D            Em
plans behind doors
Continues after the ad
        Em                   D    
Running low on the rum and 
       Em
depleting our stores
           B            A      
Can't tell who's on our side and 
        G        F#
who's ready to flip
        Em                         
When we hit the next port the whole
 D               Em
 crew could jump ship

[Verse 4]
         Em                   
With the moods flaring, crew's 
          D               Em
glaring, cut-throats the lot
       Em                     
With a paranoid captain always 
 D          Em
smelling a plot
             B            A       
We've worked hard on this journey,
             G          F#
 but there's no land in sight
      Em                       
And before it's all ended there 
 D          Em
could be a fight

[Verse 5]
   Em                           
My arms aching, back's breaking, 
 D            Em
legs aching, neck
         Em                    D  
And this whole ruddy ship is a 
           Em
huge creaking wreck
            B            A        
We've flown ten thousand miles 
       G            F#
with this thorn in our sides
           Em                   
Though the wind's steady, strong 
         D             Em
with no clouds in the skies

[Verse 6]
    Em                             
The ropes creaking, ship's leaking,
 D            Em
 sails are on fire
         Em                        
And this whole bloody ship could go
 D         Em
 up like a pyre
           B               A      
Crew's got smiles on their faces, 
          G           F#
but we've seen this before
   Em                    D        
No telling just now what we have 
  Em
in store
