This Ships Going Down

(Verse 1)

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

       A               D                  E                        A
Oh but more a sin than letting it in it's letting our good fortune out.

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

        A        D                                      E                  A
And the mast, it broke and threw out the bloke and well now he's surely my chum.


     A                                                        E
Love letters from under his bed, holds the cabin boy over his head

  A          D                   E                  A
A futile try to keep it dry what tears have already wet.

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

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




(Chorus)

tracet    D            A
'Cause this ship's going down

                      E
All on account of the weather

A
Though we'll drown

D
There's no need to frown

             E           A
'Cause we're all going together

      D                 A
And I won't say "Woe is me"

                        E
As I disappear into the sea

A             D
'Cause I'm in good company

         E           A
As we're all going together




(Verse 2)

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

       A           D                    E                 A
Is the one at home who'll be alone when I am full-up with brine.

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

   A                    D                 E                     A
Oh well you can bet, my only regret is to not see him grow to a man.




(Chorus)

tracet    D            A
'Cause this ship's going down

                      E
All on account of the weather

A
Though we'll drown

D
There's no need to frown

             E           A
'Cause we're all going together

      D                 A
And I won't say "Woe is me"

                        E
As I disappear into the sea

A             D
'Cause I'm in good company

         E           A
As we're all going together



(Verse 3)

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

A                D                        E               A
Seaman Shaft had found him a raft and was makin' a speedy goodbye.

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

     A                 D                  E               A
So a fishgig I, lanced into his eye and I knocked his ass overboard.




(Chorus)

tracet    D            A
'Cause this ship's going down

                      E
All on account of the weather

A
Though we'll drown

D
There's no need to frown

             E           A
'Cause we're all going together

      D                 A
And I won't say "Woe is me"

                        E let ring
As I disappear into the sea


Oh hell!

a strum once         d strum once
'Cause you've all been so good to me

         E strum once  A
So we're all going     together.
