Down Among The Dead Men

       Am     Am/G
It was night,      a starry moonless
 sight
Fmaj7                       E/G#
   Out in the mid Atlantic       
there sailed a ship of light
        Am   Am/G
She was big,     this ship of luxury
Fmaj7                       E/G#
   Everything was peaceful,     no 
safer place to be


[Chorus]
        F                  D7
And she sailed through the night
       C          F    G
On her way
G G# Am             C    Am    
     Down among the dead men
G  F   G   Am

Am/G Am        C    Am    G  F
Down among the dead men
   G   Am

                 C  F  G  C     
The band played
C   F   G  C

         She sailed the virgin

   She sailed the sea

[Verse]
        Am     Am/G
Captain Smith,     the master in 
command
Fmaj7                            
    A man with wealth of wisdom, 
E/G#
    a fine upstanding man
        Am     Am/G
But the fog...     He didn't hear 
the calls
Fmaj7                           
   The ice mountain was waiting     
E/G#
for fifteen hundred souls


[Chorus]
        F                  D7
And she sailed through the night
       C          F    G
On her way
G G# Am             C    Am    
     Down among the dead men
