[Verse 1]
F#m
The Greyhound's sinking in the 
waves, as fast the sea receives her
                  E                
Curse the Reaper, bend your back 
  D          E     F#m
and cheat your sorry grave!
F#m
And Captain Bryce is on her deck, so
 we, her hands, may leave her
                  E                
Curse the Reaper, bend your back 
  D          E     F#m
and cheat your sorry grave!


[Chorus]
F#m       E                C#m  
Curse the Reaper cowled in 
                D       E
black, he's laughing at your failing
F#m       E            C#m      
Pull that oar until it cracks, 
                      Bm C#m
we're bound for better sailing
                 Bm C#m
Bound for better sailing
F#m


[Verse 2]
F#m
At Bryce's word we went aloft, and 
fought the screaming bluster
                  E                
Curse the Reaper, bend your back 
  D          E     F#m
and cheat your sorry grave!
F#m
We shortened sails and trimmed the 
ropes, with all that we could muster
                  E                
Curse the Reaper, bend your back 
  D          E     F#m
and cheat your sorry grave!

[Verse 3]
F#m
The Greyhound fought to stay aright 
as, cruel, the wild waves tossed her
                  E                
Curse the Reaper, bend your back 
  D          E     F#m
and cheat your sorry grave!
F#m
But when the mast began to crack, we
 knew that we had lost her
                  E                
Curse the Reaper, bend your back 
  D          E     F#m
and cheat your sorry grave!

black, he's laughing at your failing
F#m       E            C#m      
Pull that oar until it cracks, 
                      Bm C#m
we're bound for better sailing

So put your back into it lads, and 
haul against the thunder
                  E                
Curse the Reaper, bend your back 
  D          E     F#m
and cheat your sorry grave!
F#m
And cry a prayer into the winds the 
ship won't pull us under
                  E                
Curse the Reaper, bend your back 
  D          E     F#m
and cheat your sorry grave!
