[C] [F]
[Eb] [Bb]
Went to see [F] the captain, [Eb] [E] strangest I could find
[D] Laid my [Eb] proposition down, [C] [Cm] laid it on [F] the line
[F] I won't [Eb] slave for [Bb] beggars' pay, [D] like wise [Cm] gold and dew
[Eb] But I would slave to [Bb] learn the [C] way [F] to sink your [Eb] ship of [Bb] fools
Ship of [F] fools, [Eb] on a cruel [Bb] sea
Ship [F] of fools, [Eb] sail [Gm] away from me
It was later than I thought [E] when I first [A] [Bb] believed you
Now [Cm] I cannot share [F] your life, [Eb] girl, ship [Bb] of fools
Saw your first ship [F] sink and [Eb] drown [E] from rockin' up [Bb] the boat
And [D] all that could [Eb] not sink or swim [Cm] was just left there [F] to float
I won't leave [Eb] you driftin' [Bb] down, [Dm] but what [Cm] makes me wild
[Eb] Is thirty [Bb] years upon my head [F] to have you [Bb] call me child
Ship [F] of fools, [Eb] on a [Bb] cruel sea
Ship [F] of fools, [Eb] sail [Gm] away from me
It was later than I thought when [E] I first [C] believed you
Now [Cm] I cannot share [F] your life, [Eb] girl, [Bb] ship of fools
The bottle [F] stand is [Eb] empty [E] as they were filled [Bb] before
[D] Time there [Eb] wasn't plenty, [Cm] but from that cup [F] no more
Though I could [Eb] not caution [Bb] all, [D] I still might [Cm] warn a few
[Eb] Don't lend your hand [Bb] to raise no flag [F] atop no [Bb] ship of fools
Ship [F] of fools, [Eb] on a [Bb] cruel sea
Ship [F] of fools, [Eb] sail away [Gm] from me
It was later than I thought [E] when I first [Bb] believed you
Now [Cm] I cannot share [F] your life, [Eb] girl, [Bb] ship of fools
It [Gm] was later than I thought [E] when I first believed you
Now [Cm] I cannot share [F] your life, [Eb] girl, [Bb] ship of fools
