Jamie Dawson was the captain of [Gb] the Christian Ener-crew
[Bb] When she flew and fought the Christian [Db] War of 82
Now the Christian was the baddest ship to [B] adhere in the Shroud of Maine
[Bb] And the crew of Jamie Dawson [Db] was the same
On [Eb] patrol in Sector [Ebm] 7, keepin' watch [B] on Barber's son
They were [Bb] jumped by three light [Bbm] cruisers, though [Db] they were worn and ashed for one
As they came to General Quarters, and they sent [B] out the alarm
[Bbm] Dawson's crew was sure they'd finally bought [Db] the farm
No one living saw the battle, though [B] the fleet was quick to leave
When [Bbm] they reached the site they found, it seemed [Db] no sane man could leave
And in space, three light cruisers, with their ribbons [Eb] all around
[B] But [Bbm] no sign of Dawson's Christian could [Db] be found
There [Ebm] are stories of the Dutchman, Celeste [B] and Vanya's bride
There [Bbm] are stories of the horseman, and [Db] the lady at his side
But the tale that shows most fear and most of awe, because [B] it's true
[Bbm] Is the tale of Jamie Dawson and [Ab] her crew
Yes, the tale [Eb] of Jamie Dawson and her crew
[B]
[Bb] [Db]
[B]
[Bb] [Db] I was second mate on Hera's dream, a [B] freighter on the line
[Bb] We were shipping precious metals to [Db] the colony on nine
I was on the second watch of that most [Bm] uneventful flight
[Bb] When the pirates disappeared out of [Db] the night
Now [Eb] to me there was no [Ebm] question, for they had [B] us working one
[Bb] You can't fight [Bbm] any pirates when [Db] your freighter has no guns
So we stood by to be [Db] boarded by a [B] party yet unseen
[Bb] When another ship appeared upon [Db] our screen
At first we thought it was a pirate, but the [B] vector was all wrong
[Bbm] We thought it might be [Bbm] rescued, [Db] the signal wasn't strong
But she didn't answer, and we had built an [B] unknown dread
And [Bbm] we saw the ship were up and [Db] going red
Now [Ebm] the currents of that single ship were shown [B] by third view
But [Bb] we never knew, to simplify [Db] the way the stranger flew
Never fearing guns or numbers like a [B] tiger to its knee
[Bbm] The stranger then attacked the pirate [Db] fleet
[B]
[Bbm] [Db]
And the stranger's beams seemed brighter than all [B] beams I'd seen before
[Bbm] The stranger's shields were harder than [Db] the heart of any whore
As the [Eb] battle wrecked the ether while we [B] watched and shook our heads
[Bbm] The pirate ships were cut to bloody [Db] shreds
[Db] The pirate ships were cut to bloody shreds
[B]
[Bbm] The pirate ships were [Ab] cut to bloody [Db] shreds
Just as [B] quickly as it started, and [Bb] the fighting was all done
For [Db] the pirate fleet was shattered, and the stranger ship had won
Though we tried [B] to call in banker, [Bb] not an answer could we draw
[Db] But she dropped her shields, and this is what we [Eb] saw
There were [B] thirty hulls crept through her, [F] and a gash along one [Bbm] side
[Db] And we knew then what had happened, that no crew were left alive
But the markings [B] all stuck Christian [Bbm] deep inside us, each one new
[Db] It's the tomb of Jamie Dawson and her crew
Now instead of flying [B] off, the [Bbm] stranger then began to fade
[Db] First the hull, and then the bulkhead, since we cowered there afraid
First the [B] Christian disappeared, the [Gb] last thing that slipped from view
Were the bones of [Ab] Jamie Dawson and her [Ebm] crew
Yes, the [B] bones of Jamie Dawson [Bb] and her crew
[Ab] There are stories of Dutchmen with some [Db] less than modest pride
And there are stories of [B] the horseman, [Bbm] the lady at his side
[Db] But the tale of she was my spirit, and most of all, because it's true
The [B] tale of Jamie Dawson [Bbm] and her crew
[Db] It's the tale of Jamie Dawson and her crew
It's the [Eb] tale of Jamie Dawson and her [Bbm] crew
[Db] And the tale of Jamie Dawson and [Ebm] her crew
