_ _ _ _ _ _ Ah, you people can watch while I'm scrubbing these floors
And I'm scrubbing these floors while [Dm] you're gawking
And maybe once you tip me and it makes you feel swell
In this crummy southern town, in this critter hotel
But you'll [Cm] never guess to who you're talking
No, you'll never guess to who you're talking
_ Then one night there's a scream in the night
And you wonder who could that have been
And you see me kinda grinning while I'm scrubbing
And you say, well, [Cm] what she's got to grin? _
_ _ _ Well, I'll tell you _ _
There's a ship, the Black Freighter
_ [Gm] With a skull on its mast [G] tip
Coming in
_ _ [Cm] There's a ship, _ the Black Freighter
_ _ [Gm] With a skull on its mast tip
[G] _ Coming in
_ _ _ Well, you gentlemen say, hey gal, finishing floors
What's wrong with you?
Earn your keep here
And you toss [Dm] me your tips and you look to the ships
But I'm counting your heads as I'm making the beds
Cause [Cm] nobody's gonna sleep here tonight _
Nobody's gonna sleep here tonight
And then one night there's a scream in the night
And you say, who's that kicking up a row?
And you [Dm] see me kinda staring out the window
And you say, well, [Cm] what's she got to stare at now? _ _ _ _
Well, I'll tell you _ _ _
[Cm] There's a ship, _ the Black Freighter
_ _ [Gm] Turns around in the harbor _
[G] Shooting guns from her bow _ _
There's a ship, _ _ [Cm] the Black Freighter
_ [Gm] _ Turns around in the harbor
[G] Shooting guns from her bow
_ _ Well, [Cm] you gentlemen can wipe all the smiles off your face
Cause every building in town is a flat one
And this whole [Dm] fucking place will be down to the ground
Only this cheap hotel standing up safe and sound
And you'll yell, why do they spare that one?
Why do they spare that one?
All the night through with the noise and to-do
And you wonder, who's that person that lives up there?
[Dm] And you see me stepping out in the morning
Looking fine [Cm] with the ribbon in my hair _
_ _ Well, just look at me now _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ And the ship, _ the Black Freighter
_ _ [Gm] Runs a flag up its mast head
[G] And a cheer rings the air
_ _ _ And [Cm] the ship, _ the Black Freighter _ _
[Gm] Runs a flag up its mast [G] head
And a cheer rings the air _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Cm] Well, my watch on the dock is a-swarming with men
Coming out from the ghostly freighter
[Dm] And they're moving in the shadows where no one can see
And they're chaining up people and delivering them to [Cm] me
Kill them now or kill them later _ _
_ _ _ _ _ Noon by the clock and so still at the dock
You can hear the fog one miles [Dm] away
And in the quiet of death I'll say
_ _ [Cm] Right now! _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ And they pile up the bodies and I'll say
_ That'll learn you _
_ _ _ And the ship, _ the [Cm] Black Freighter _ _ _
[Gm] _ _ [G] _ Disappears out to sea
_ _ _ _ [Cm] Oh, the ship, the Black _ Freighter _
[Gm] _ Hands on it, _ [G] is me
[Cm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
