Down With The Ship

A                            G   
Like ships in a squall we rise 
       A
and we fall
           D                     
We're plotting our course through 
        A
the waves
A                           G    
Some masts are tall with sails so
    A
 strong
D                          A
Others are tossed in the gale
A                         G      
We try to stay dry with salt in 
      A
our eyes
D                           A
No moment to rest or complain
A                        G       
The moon isn't far a clear sky 
              A
and stars
D                           A
Red sky at morn on your tail

G                  D            
I'm not going to stand on the 
G           A
end of the pier
G                  D           A
I'm not going to let you go down 
with the ship
G               D          G    
Raise up your anchor it's time 
          A
to set sail
G                          D     
And I'm not going to let you go  
            A
               down


A                              
Like ships we were made to dance 
   G              A
o'er our graves
D                            
One false move and we could be 
        A
thrown
A                   G            A
Buried alive before our due time
D                        A
To rest at sixty below
A                              
So jibe while you can if there's 
   G         A
danger ahead
D                               A
Stay on your course if you will
A                       G        
I'll throw you a line as waves 
       A
start to rise
D                             A
Bail as your ship starts to fill
