This Ships Going Down

  Am                               
A gargantuan hole in the bow, will 
                     E7
the ocean to enter allow.

       Am              Dm         
Oh but more a sin than letting it 
        E7                      
in it's letting our good fortune 
  Am
out.

    Am                             
The nest to the storm did succumb, 
while the crow hid his fear in the 
E
rum.

        Am                 Dm     
And the mast, it broke and threw 
                 E7            
out the bloke and well now he's 
 Am
surely my chum.


     Am                         
Love letters from under his bed, 
                              E7
holds the cabin boy over his head

  Am         Dm                  
A futile try to keep it dry what 
E7                  Am
tears have already wet.

          Am                       
They were penned by a girl in 
                               E7
Merak, and the Javanese value their 
tact.

Am                   Dm          
She'll conclude he's horribly 
              E                  
rude 'cause he's sure as hell not 
      Am
writing back.


[Chorus]

[tracet]    Dm           Am
'Cause this ship's going down

                      E7
All on account of the weather

Am
Though we'll drown

Dm
There's no need to frown

             E7           Am
'Cause we're all going together

      Dm                Am
And I won't say "Woe is me"

                        E7
As I disappear into the sea

Am            Dm
'Cause I'm in good company

         E7           Am
As we're all going together


[Verse 2]

         Am                      
I've had women of every kind, but 
                        E7
the only one truly was mine

       Am          Dm               
    E7                 akm
Is the one at home who'll be alone 
when I am full-up with brine.

       Am                          
For my son I had always a plan, for
                           E7
 to raise him as best as I can.

   Am                   Dm        
Oh well you can bet, my only 
        E7                     Am
regret is to not see him grow to a 
man.


[Chorus]

[tracet]    Dm           Am
'Cause this ship's going down

                      E7
All on account of the weather

Am
Though we'll drown

Dm
There's no need to frown

             E7           Am
'Cause we're all going together

      Dm                Am
And I won't say "Woe is me"

                        E7
As I disappear into the sea

Am            Dm
'Cause I'm in good company

         E7           Am
As we're all going together


[Verse 3]

      Am                           
I was sinking down into the brine, 
                               E7
when a curious sight caught my eye.

Am               Dm              
Seaman Shaft had found him a raft
         E7               Am
 and was makin' a speedy goodbye.

       Am                        
At the risk of sounding absurd, I 
                             E7
have always been good as my word.

     Am                Dm         
So a fishgig I, lanced into his 
        E7               Am
eye and I knocked his ass overboard.


[Chorus]

[tracet]    Dm           Am
'Cause this ship's going down

                      E7
All on account of the weather

Am
Though we'll drown

Dm
There's no need to frown

             E7           Am
'Cause we're all going together

      Dm                Am
And I won't say "Woe is me"

                        E7
As I disappear into the sea
